After an injury ended what had been a promising career playing cricket, Harrdy Sandhu, born September 6, 1986, in Patiala, India, became a popular singer and actor. A onetime member of Indiaâs Under-19 World Cup Team, he left the game in 2007 after an arm injury kept him from continuing his world-class career as a bowler. After undergoing steady training, he released his debut album, This Is Harrdy Sandhu, in 2012. Though the album was less successful than he hoped, his next single, 2013âs âSochâ became a smash and established him as a recording artist. That song had been co-written by hitmaker Janni, and their partnership would lead to more hits such as âBackboneâ and âJokerâ. He started a side gig as a film actor with 2014âs Yaaran Da Katchup. DHe enjoyed the biggest hit of his career to that point in 2017 with âNaahâ, another collaboration with Jaani and composer B Praak. The hits kept coming and in 2021 he starred in the Bollywood film 83 playing Madan Lal, one of the biggest cricket stars in Indian history. Such was his popularity that four years after its initial release, âNaahâ would again hit the top 10 in India.
