Born in 1975, Indian playback singer Sapna Mukherjee rose to prominence in the late '80s and has since cultivated a successful career in the Bollywood film industry, working with some of the biggest composers in the business, including Nadeem-Shravan, Bappi Lahiri, Laxmikant–Pyarelal, and A. R. Rahman. She made her official debut in 1986 by singing three songs for the soundtrack of the Hindi action film Janbaaz. Her big break came in 1989 when music director Kalyanji Anandji chose her to perform the song "Tirchi Topi Wale" in the Rajiv Rai-directed thriller Tridev. The track became a massive hit in India and earned her a Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback Singer. Even though she enjoyed considerable prestige as a playback singer, it wasn't until 2006 that she released her studio debut Mere Piya, which included a series of duets with singer and actor Sonu Nigam. In 2022, her song "Aakhir Tumhein Aana Hai,"originally included in the soundtrack of the 1992 film Yalgaar, entered the Indian charts for the first time at Number 78.
