Saapna started her musical career in the
year 1986 when Feroz Khan introduced her as a playback singer
through his film “Jaanbaaz”. In an environment
when a reputed filmmaker such as Feroz Khan could have chosen
any other top singer to sing these songs he chose Saapna simply
because he believed in her talent. His faith in her was justified
when her three songs in “Jaazbaaz”, Jaane Jaana,
Tera Saath hai kitna pyaara and Pyaar lo pyaar do, all became
super duper hits. This began Saapna’s journey into the
world of enchanting melody…
Since “Jaanbaaz”, Saapna’s songs have not
only topped the popularity charts but also have captivated
the hearts of millions of music fans in India and Abroad.
She is best known from her songs Pyar pyar kartey kartey from
“Judaai”, Dil le gayi teri bindaya from “Vishwatma”,
Ho jata hai kaisey pyaar from “Yalgar”, Sundara
Sundara from “Rakshak”, Tere ishq mein naachengey
from “Raja Hindustani” and Sun baba sun baba from
“Kroadh”. Saapna has won the Filmfare Award for
the popular song Oye Oye from the film “Tridev”.
She has also performed in shows all over the world with Amitabh
Bachaan and Shah Rukh Khan. Saapna has three non-film music
albums to her credit. “Dil Tera Hua” (music by
Late Shri R.D.Burman), “Jaanam” (music by Shri
Viju Shah) and “A Tribute to Geeta Dutt”.
Presently, Saapna is associated with the Sahara India Pariwar.
Saapna never wanted to be a mere playback singer –
she always wanted to produce music close to her heart. But
Saapna, a usually shy person, found it difficult to enter
the competitive world of pop music. And it was not until a
chance meeting between her and Mr. Shashi Gopal, the Chairman
and Managing Director of Magnasound (India) Ltd. – which
was arranged by Daler Mehendi – that helped realize
Saapna’s long cherished dream. The result – “Hai
Mera Dil”. Saapna has since transformed into an extremely
capable artiste, and as for her shyness, people at Magnasound
are pleasantly surprised to see a demure Saapna change to
an extremely vivacious performer!
