Kumar Sanu and Udit Narayan were hailed as the most melodious voices back during the 90s. The duo competitively bagged one big film after the other, for which they recorded some chart-busting numbers, that are loved even today. However, while they never showed openly, but there was severe gossip about the two of them sharing an evident rivalry with one another. Fast forward to now, both have moved on in their lives and recorded a flourishing career for themselves. And recently, Kumar Sanu looked back in time and opened up about his rivalry with Udit Narayan.
Kumar Sanu on his infamous rivalry with Udit Narayan
In a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, Kumar Sanu was asked about his much-gossiped rivalry with contemporary singer, Udit Narayan back during the 90s. In his response, the singer refused all such rumours and instead mentioned that there had been a healthy competition between the duo. In his words:
“Peheli baat shatruta Udit ke saath hamara hai nahi. Udit ke saath mera acha dosti hai, humlog abhi tour karne jaa rahe hai, humlogon ke bohot dosti hai. Healthy competitions ke andar jo rivalry paida hota hai na, gaana ko leke hota hai na wo hota hi hai. Main jis samay aaya na uss samay Udit ji ka film aaya tha Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and it was a massive hit. Aur gaya bhi Udit ji bohot fantastic, koi tulna hi nahi hoga. Toh unka market shuru hi hone wala tha that time Aashiqui came 89 mein. Toh ye mann mein ho sakta hai ki chalo thik hai.”
