Where is Kunal Ganjawala Now? The Voice Behind “Bheegey Hont Tere” and More Biggest Hits!
If you’ve ever hummed songs like “Bheegey Hont Tere” or “Channa Ve Ghar Aaja Ve,” you’re probably familiar with Kunal Ganjawala. His voice has touched many hearts, and his songs still resonate with fans. But what happened to him, and why did his flourishing career seem to slow down? Here’s a closer look at his journey.
Kunal Ganjawala started his career with a jingle for the "Doodh-Doodh" campaign. Back when international brands like Pepsi and Coca-Cola were taking over the Indian market, the government aimed to encourage kids to choose milk instead. They needed a singer whose voice would resonate with children. That’s when Kunal was chosen to sing the famous jingle, marking the beginning of his career.
His Bollywood debut came in 2002 with the film Ab Ke Baras. However, the songs didn’t quite make an impact. His big break came in 2004, with the film Murder. The song “Bheegey Hont” became an overnight sensation, making Kunal a star. The song was everywhere—playing in every street and on every speaker. Youth across the country were singing along, and Kunal had cemented his place in the music industry.
A Career Filled with Memorable Hits
After the success of Murder, Kunal went on to lend his voice to many other hits. From Saathiya’s "Humdum Suniyo Re" to Dhoom’s "Salaame," and Singham’s "Maula Maula," Kunal became the voice behind some of Bollywood's most unforgettable songs.
One of the most interesting stories about Kunal’s career is how “Bheegey Hont” came to be. Music director Anu Malik called Kunal one day, insisting that he come to the studio. Kunal, busy at the time, tried to postpone, but Anu convinced him it would only take half an hour. Kunal agreed, and the song was recorded in just one take. That song went on to become one of the biggest hits of the decade.
Kunal’s wife, Gayatri Ganjawala, is also a famous singer. They tied the knot in 2005. Gayatri has lent her voice to popular songs like “My Dil Goes Mmmm” from Salaam Namaste and “Meri Jaane Jaan” from Dil Maange More.
In 2020, during the lockdown, Kunal returned with a song called "Nikal To Loge Hi," but his appearances have been less frequent in recent years. He last sang for the 2019 film Panipat, where he performed "Mann Mein."
Kunal now manages a business and admits that singing alone doesn’t provide enough to sustain a comfortable living. He hasn’t completely stepped away from music, though. He runs a YouTube channel where he shares his music, keeping his connection with his fans alive.
A Legacy in Music, and What’s Next
Kunal Ganjawala may have taken a step back from mainstream Bollywood, but his voice and the songs he created continue to be cherished. While he’s now focused on other ventures, his music remains timeless, and fans still eagerly listen to the hits that once ruled the charts.
Through all the changes in his career, Kunal’s story is one of passion, perseverance, and the realities of the music industry. Even if he’s no longer in the spotlight, his songs continue to bring joy to listeners around the world.
