As Guru celebrates his 29th today and social media platforms are flooded with birthday wishes, we look at his singing journey that started with a song that couldn't do well.
Guru who was born in the Gurdaspur district of Punjab initially stepped into the music world by performing in parties. In several interviews, he himself told that at the beginning of his career he did not refrain from singing even in small stage shows. The singer couldn't get much scope and success in Punjab and decided to shift to the national capital. In Delhi, besides improving his singing skills, he also pursued an MBA degree.
Guru's singing career began in 2012 when his first song 'Same Girl' was released. Even though the song didn't do well and couldn't gain popularity, the singer didn't give up and kept working.
Guru then released his second song named 'Chad Gayi', but even then he couldn't get the limelight and recognition he wanted. After this setback, the singer decided to release an album in 2013 instead of releasing singles.
His debut album that was titled 'Peg One' was financially helped by his brother but the story remained the same - it couldn't get the success he desired.
When Guru Randhawa didn't get fame even after continuous efforts for two years, a famous rapper came into his life as a Messiah. Popularly known as Bohemia, recognized Guru's talent and gave the singer a chance to sing with him. Guru's destiny then changed in 2015 when he along with Bohemia released 'Patola' that was played across several parts of the country.
The song got Guru the fame he wanted and became such a hit that it changed his life and career.
Since Patola released, the singer didn't look back and gave several hits in his career.
Some of his well-known songs include Lahore, High Rated Gabru, Ban Ja Rani, Suit, Fashion and Raat Kamaal Hai.
Almost every Guru's song has garnered over a crore view on YouTube.
