Richa Sharma came to Mumbai with dreams of singing in Bollywood films, and till that worked out, devotional music was her bread and butter. But from the moment she sang for AR Rahman in Taal, there was no looking back. Richa hails from Faridabad in Haryana and on her birthday, we wish that she never stops crooning.

Ni Main Samajhh Gayi: Taal

Jag Soona Soona Lage: Om Shanti Om

Sajda: My Name Is Khan

Tauba Tauba: Kaal

Billo Rani: Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal
