There aren't many singers in the industry who can match the level of greatness and talent of Udit Narayan let alone surpass it. Throughout his long and illustrious career, Udit has given countless evergreen songs. As he completed 41 years in the business, Udit recalled his initial days and how he managed to get his first break.

The singer shared a black and white throwback photo from his youth and wrote, "41 years ago, my first ever playback venture in the Indian Film & Music industry for the film ‘Unees Bees’ released, composed by Rajesh Roshan ji. I was fortunate to sing my debut song with my idol Shri Mohammad Rafi saab."

He added, "Thanks to everyone who gave me the opportunity to work with them, the young boy from Mithilanchal fulfilled his ambition of becoming a playback singer. Thank you fans & well wishers for recognising 5th July as Udit Narayan day."

Some of Udit's earlier hits which are still popular today include “Papa Kehte Hain”, “Akele Hain” and “Ae Mere Humsafar”.
