Bollywood playback singer Kumar Sanu chooses his favourite Hindi songs from his own extensive back catalogue.

One hour of amazing songs courtesy of Bollywood playback singer Kumar Sanu's own extensive back catalogue.

Kumar Sanu trained as a tabla player by his father but his first love was singing and so he pursued his dream. He made his Bollywood debut on the soundtrack for the 1987 film Aandhiyan but his first major success was on Aashiqui in 1990 which turned him into a household name.

After that there was no looking back for Kumar Sanu, who became the voice of the 90s, going on to win the Filmfare Best Male Playback Singer Award for five consecutive years.

In this exclusive programme for the BBC Asian Network, the prolific singer talks about the song he wasn't allowed to record because he hadn't shaved, the song he says will get any woman interested if you play it to her and the song which he is says is responsible for bringing together one of Bollywood's biggest power couples.
