Babla Mehta : The Voice of Mukesh is No More

Babla Mehta : The Voice of Mukesh is No More

All of a sudden a few days ago I started seeing an old video on my feed of Babla Mehta recording a song in a studio followed by Gulshan Kumar holding his hand and introducing him to the public.

Gulshan Kumar ji annouched : "Main sab sangeet premiyon ko ek naye gaayak Babla Mehta apni nayi film Dil Hai Ki Maanta Nahin mein pesh kar raha hoon."

Followed by his this message of introducing Babla Mehta ji, the song came up :

Na Poochho Mera Dil Kahaan Kho Gaya,

Tujhe Dekhte Hi Tera Ho Gaya

Aankhon Mein Tu, Mere Khwabon Mein Tu Hai,

Yaadon Ke Mehke Gulaabon Mein Tu Hai.

I loved the song so much but somehow I knew in the back of my mind that i have heard this song somewhere but maybe I was not able to remember it because I had heard it in the voice of Kumar Sanu.

After two days, i.e., today on 27th July 2025 I came to know that Mr Babla Mehta is no more !

Since Babla Mehta's voice was similar to Mukesh hence Gulshan Kumar with T Series remade a song named Zubaan Pe Dard Bhari Daastaan Chali Aaayi sung by Mukesh ji in Babla's voice. This song became such a hit that it used to be played continuously in Buses and Auto Rickshaws. There used to be a high demand at the music recording shops for this particular song in the voice of Babla Mehta.

After the success of this song, Babla Mehta re-sang many other songs sung by Mukesh.

Followed by this Babla Mehta lent his voice for a popular song (Tere Mere Honthon Par) for the film Chandni (1989) and also Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin.
