Babul Supriyo (born in Kolkata) is an Indian playback singer. He calls himself a clone (in singing style) of Kumar Sanu.[1]
Babul Supriyo's grandfather, NC Boral, was a well-known composer in West Bengal. Under pressure from his father (who worked in a bank), he took up a job with Standard Chartered Bank after securing a Master's degree. In 1991, he came to Mumbai to try his luck in Bollywood.[2] Kalyanji (of Kalyanji-Anandji composer duo) gave him a break, and he soon got noticed by other composers. Besides playback singing, he has also done several stage shows across the globe.[2] Babul is a very talented singer and sang some memorable hindi songs such as Kaho na Pyar hai(Kaho na Pyar Hai), Pari Pari Hai ek Pari(Hungama), Hum Tum(Hum Tum), Chanda Chamke(Fanaah)etc. He is the anchor of currently hit television show "K for KISHORE". Babul Supriyo's family consists of his wife Rhea and a daughter. Recently he is divorced and stays with his daughter only at his Lokhandwalla Flat.
