Being one of the new talents, Mannan has garnered a fan following for his work in the world of Bollywood music industry in no time. Born in 1988, at the age of 5, Mannan started learning the art of classical music. He holds late Pandit Vinayak Vohra in high regards, acknowledging his gratefulness towards his first guru for bringing out the composer in him. He learned “tar shehnai” from late Pt. Vohra for two years. Notably, in one of the interviews, he stated his guru created his version of the instrument by using a dilruba.

For those who are unaware of tar shehnai, it is a bowed instrument and it possesses a bit of resemblance to sarangi and dilruba. Mannan expressed his desire to use the mentioned musical tool in his forthcoming films. In 2011, Mannan Shaah began his career as a playback singer with songs like “Thoda Sa Pyaar” and “Baadlon Pe Paon” to his name, for the movie “Kucch Luv Jaisa” starring Rahul Bose Rahul Bose, who is an actor, director, writer and >> Read More... and Shefali Shah The beautiful Shefali Shah is an actress of Indian >> Read More... .
