Neha Kakkar, born on June 6, 1988, in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, is a prominent Indian playback singer celebrated for her versatile vocals and energetic stage presence. With a musical lineage as the younger sibling of Tony Kakkar and Sonu Kakkar, Neha’s journey into the spotlight began at a tender age, enchanting audiences with her performances at religious gatherings.
In 2005, Neha stepped into the limelight on the renowned singing reality show, Indian Idol, marking the inception of her illustrious career. Her Bollywood debut as a chorus singer in “Meerabai Not Out” laid the foundation for her ascent in the industry. However, it was the electrifying “Second Hand Jawaani” from “Cocktail” that catapulted her to stardom, followed by a string of chart-topping hits like “Sunny Sunny” from “Yaariyan” and “London Thumakda” from “Queen.”
Beyond playback singing, Neha’s charisma transcends to music videos and television, where she graces as a judge on shows like “Indian Idol.” Her digital presence is equally commanding, reigning as the most-viewed female artist on YouTube in 2019 and earning the prestigious YouTube Diamond Award in 2021, a first for an Indian singer. Additionally, she holds the distinction of being the most followed female Indian artist on Spotify.
Neha’s entrepreneurial spirit shines through as she was recognized among India’s boldest entrepreneurs in 2017 and 2019. Her passion for nurturing talent led her to launch an exclusive Masterclass for aspiring singers in collaboration with FrontRow. In a personal milestone, Neha found love with Punjabi artist Rohanpreet Singh, tying the knot in a beautiful ceremony in October 2020, epitomizing love amidst the melodies she so gracefully creates.
