'''Manhar Udhas''' is a [[Hindi]] and [[Gujarati language]] singer and [[Bollywood]] playback singer.<br />
<br />
==Early life==<br />
Manhar Udhas is the eldest son of Keshubhai Udhas and Jituben Udhas, and the elder brother of the singer [[Pankaj Udhas]], who died on 26 February in 2024<ref>{{cite web |title=Ghazal singer Pankaj Udhas dies at 72 |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/celebrities/story/pankaj-udhas-dies-at-72-2507274-2024-02-26 |website=India Today |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Pankaj Udhas was disheartened by the diminishing presence of ghazals in Bollywood: 'They think in terms of Hollywood' |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/music/pankaj-udhas-was-disheartened-by-the-diminishing-presence-of-ghazals-in-bollywood-they-think-in-terms-of-hollywood-9181940/ |website=The Indian Express |language=en |date=26 February 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Ghazal singer Pankaj Udhas passes away at 72 after prolonged illness |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/music/music-legend-pankaj-udhas-dies-at-72-after-prolonged-illness/article67887869.ece |website=The Hindu |language=en-IN |date=26 February 2024}}</ref> and [[Nirmal Udhas]]. He completed his mechanical engineering training in [[Gujarat]] and moved to [[Mumbai]] in the late 1960s to look for a job.<br />
<br />
With a lifelong passion for music, Manhar found an entry into the industry through his brother-in-law, a filmmaker in Mumbai, who introduced him to Music Directors [[Kalyanji Anandji]]. Manhar often assisted the duo in song recording. When the singer [[Mukesh (singer)|Mukesh]] was not immediately available, it was decided to dub the song in the voice of Udhas and later on Mukesh would sing over it. The song was 'aap se hum ko bichchade huye ek zamana beet gaya' for 1969 film ''Vishwas''. When Mukesh heard the song he said that Udhas has sung the song perfectly and there was no need to record the song in his voice. The song became a hit. It proved to be turning point in his career.<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://archive.today/20130411154008/http://www.planetradiocity.com/musicreporter/celebrity-interview-details/Ghazal-singers-will-become-extinct,-rues-Manhar-Udhas/370 Article title]}}</ref><br />
