Early life and career

Singh attended the all-boys boarding school

University of Delhi.[2]

In the early 1990s, Singh, a trained classical singer, taught music at

Aishwarya Rai and Shah Rukh Khan, for which he won many popular votes.[13]
He was nominated for Filmfare Awards on two occasions, in different categories.

After initial successes, his career went into a low, because of multiple dislocations of his shoulder joint, which he suffered while water skiing in

Aamdani Atthani Kharcha Rupaiyaa (2001),[15][16] Bharat Bhagya Vidhata (2002) and the delayed release Sarhad Paar which was shot in 2002 and released in 2006. All three films flopped at the box office.[17]

In 2012, he made a comeback with the multi-starer film

Zilla Ghaziabad which had been delayed for years, and finally released in August 2013.[20][21][22][23]

In 2020, he made his big acting comeback with

Aarya, opposite Sushmita Sen.[1][24] It was directed by Ram Madhvani.[25]
