Shaan had a conversation with Komal Nahta about playback singing, his beginnings and a lot more. Shaan began his career as an indipop singer and then graduated to playback singing for movies. Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi (1999) was his first film followed by Dillagi (1999). A year later, he sang ‘Tune Mujhe Pehchana Nahin’ for Raju Chacha (2000). Shaan opened up about his experience while recording the number. Shaan began by saying, “Singers at that time were divided into two – those who were influenced by Mohammed Rafi and those who were influenced by Kishore Kumar. When I came, there was no precedent of a pop singer, at least for male singers.

But very early, I learned an important lesson about playback singing. I realized that playback singing for films is ...
