HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUBIN NAUTIYAL: After starting his professional musical journey with rejection in a TV reality show year, Jubin Nautiyal had to toil hard for years before getting a break in Bollywood.

A rendition of Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik’s original song from the 1992 release Sapne Saajan Ke, Jubin’s Meri Aashiqui is a typical love ballad. The song was received with much appreciation from listeners and it became one of the biggest of 2020. Meri Aashiqui had lyrics penned by Rashmi Virag and composition by Rochak Kohli - Tujhe Kitna Chahein (Kabir Singh)
