Actor Namit Das answered his call for music after his successful run in the entertainment industry with hit digital series such as Aarya, Mafia and A Suitable Boy. The Aarya actor is a multifaceted artist who grew up on music under the influence of his father, Chandan Dass, a renowned Ghazal singer. The outcome of which has been that the actor-singer-composer cultivated a great taste in music. Not to mention, he has composed music for Mira Nair's A Suitable Boy and Monsoon Wedding Musical. On the occasion of his birthday, we bring you five videos of Namit Das prove that his love for music is eternal.
Namit renders this gem of a ghazal sung by Mehdi Hassan and penned by Mir Taqi Mir over the piano.

Namit hums a few lines of a thumri composed in Raag Khamaj and popularised by Pandit Ajoy Chakraborty.
Composed by Shankar-Jaikishan and sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Mukesh, Dil Ki Nazar Se is a classic. Das reimagines the song on a piano.
