Harrdy Sandhu's Journey
From Cricket to Music
Harrdy Sandhu played cricket for more than ten years as a fast bowler. Sadly, he got a serious elbow injury in 2007. This injury meant he had to stop playing cricket.
After his injury, he decided to focus on singing. He took vocal training for 18 months. In 2011, he released his first album called "This is Harrdy Sandhu". He also released a music video for the song "Tequilla Shot" from this album. However, the album and song did not become very popular.
Harrdy felt disappointed and thought about giving up singing. But then he met a lyricist named Jaani and a music director named B Praak. Together, they created the song "Soch", which came out in 2013. This song became a huge hit!
Becoming a Star Singer
Even though his first movie was not a big success, Harrdy kept making hit songs. Some of his popular tracks include "Joker", "Backbone", "Horn Blow", and "Yaar Ni Milya". He worked with Jaani and B Praak on these songs, and they all became very famous.
In 2017, he released the song "Naah" which featured the dancer Nora Fatehi. Jaani wrote the lyrics, and B Praak made the music. This song was a massive hit! In 2018, after the success of "Naah", he released "Kya Baat Ay" with the same team. This song was also a huge success. Both "Naah" and "Kya Baat Ay" have been watched over 500 million times on YouTube!
In the years that followed, he released more hit songs like "Superstar", "Dance Like", "Jee Karda", and "Titliaan Warga". He also sang songs for Bollywood films. These include "Chandigarh" from Good Newwz and "Naah Goriye" from Bala.
Acting in Bollywood
Harrdy Sandhu made his acting debut in Bollywood with the sports movie 83. This film tells the story of India's amazing win at the 1983 Cricket World Cup. Harrdy played the role of Madan Lal, who was an important fast bowler in the winning team.
In November 2021, he released a new single called "Bijlee Bijlee". Jaani wrote and composed the song, and B Praak created the music.
