BABLA MEHTA PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE LEGENDARY MASTER: MUKESH CHAND MATHUR

 

Due to the close resemblance of his voice to the legendary singer Mukesh (Mukesh Chand Mathur), Babla began his career recording covers of Mukesh songs for T-Series. Then one day, in 1990, seminal Indian film composer R.D. Burman was passing through Khar, Mumbai, when he heard the song ‘Sajan re jhoothmut bolo’ blaring from an audio cassette shop. Burman commented on how well Mukesh had sung the song, and was surprised to learn it was not Mukesh, but the voice of Babla coming from the shop. He was so impressed he contacted Babla and asked to meet him the very next day. Then Pancham Da took Babla under his wing, and he became a regular singer in Pancham Da’s live shows.
