The
man who stole countless hearts with his most popular song "Chalte
Chalte" in the year 2003, has given us a long list of musical hits and

singing made him quit a booming profession in Chartered Accountancy to

talent and love for music.

Bhattacharya made his debut in Bollywood in 1984, when he received a call from R. D. Burman to sing for
Dev Anand's son's film,
Anand Aur Anand.
He was fortunate enough to sing along with his musical idol Kishore Da
in his very first foray into the world of Bollywood. However, it was not
until the 1990s when he finally got the recognition he deserved as a
renowned playback singer in the industry.

Yes Boss (1997),
Main Khiladi Tu Anaadi (1994),
Dhadkan (2000),

Yes Boss
in the year 1997. He has been blessed to sing alongside with almost all

Mangeshkar. Bhattacharya's passion for music also led him record his own
