Biography

Kunal Ganjawala is an Indian singer, known primarily for his work as a Bollywood playback singer. His breakthrough hit, Bheegey Hont from the film Murder, won the 2005 Zee Cine Award for Best Playback Singer (male).

He is a graduate of St. Peter’s School, Mazagaon.

He says his singing career was begun in college:

“I was not even a bathroom singer. I began singing only when I was ragged by my seniors as a fresher in Elphinstone College. I was passing by them whistling a tune when a few of them caught hold of me and commanded, ‘Sing a song’. I was shocked. I said I never sang in my life. They said, ‘Jhoot bolta hai. When he can whistle tunes so well, why can’t he sing?’ They caught hold of my neck saying, they would throttle me if I didn’t. With great difficulty I sang Nazar ke samne (Aashiqui) and Ek din bik jayega (Dharam Karam). They spared me then but made me sing in college festivals later.”

He gained some confidence from this.

In 2005, he married fellow singer Gayatri Iyer.
