Aadesh Shrivastava


Name: Aadesh Shrivastava











BIOGRAPHY

Aadesh Shrivastava (occasionally also credited by the first name "Adesh" and the last name "Srivastava") is a popular Indian music director. Aadesh's first big break came with the 1993 film Kanyadaan. His greatest achievement was that he had Lata Mangeshkar to sing for his very first song. Unfortunately, the movie has not been released and the songs did not see the light of day. But he bounced back with the film Aao Pyaar Kare. One track, "Haathon mein aa gaya jo kal" almost rewrote his fortunes.

His success came in sporadic bursts. His chart topping number was "Kya ada kya jalwe tere Paro". His 1998 film Angaarey had a noted score. Subsequent chartbusters include "say shava shava" (Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum), "chali chali phir chali chali" and "merii makhanaa merii soniye" (Baghban). He has a surprising number of films to his credit that star the Bollywood superstart Amitabh Bachchan. Aadesh was one of the judges in the musical talent show "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa -- Challenge 2005", conducted by the popular Indian TV Channel ZeeTV, where he adopted the motto "jai ho, mangalmai ho" (rejoice and celebrate).
