INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Hans Raj Hans, born into a humble family of peasants, found his calling in music at an early age. The inspiration struck when he witnessed a street singer visiting his village in the early morning, chanting soulful devotional songs. This encounter ignited a passion for singing that would shape his future. Under the guidance of Ustad Puran Shahkoti Sahib, Hans received his initial training in music, honing his skills and laying the foundation for a remarkable career.

In 1983, Hans took his first steps into the music industry with the release of his debut album, “Jogian Da Kanna Vich.” This marked the beginning of a prolific journey filled with numerous successful albums such as “Chorni,” “Jhanjhar,” “Mohabbat,” and “Ishqe Di Barsaat.” His talent soon became evident through blockbuster songs that resonated with audiences, including hits like “Dil Tote Tote Ho Gaya,” “Nachi Jo Sade Naal,” “Dil Chori Sada Ho Gaya,” “Sili Sili Hawa,” and “Nit Khair Manga.” Hans even made a brief foray into acting with the Punjabi film “Mehndi Shagna Di,” showcasing yet another facet of his artistic abilities.

As his career flourished, Hans Raj Hans became not only a renowned singer but also a respected figure in academia. He was appointed as an honorary music professor at Washington DC University and San Jose State University, where he shared his expertise with aspiring musicians. His dedication to music and culture extended beyond borders; every year, he performs at the Wagah Border on August 14, promoting peace and brotherhood between India and Pakistan. Through his art, he has spread meaningful messages, notably the words “Na Nasha Karo Na Vaar Karo, Je Karna Hai Ta Pyaar Karo,” encouraging unity and love.

In addition to his musical contributions, Hans has navigated the political landscape with significant strides. In 2009, he joined the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) party and contested the General Elections from the Jalandhar Constituency, though he resigned from the party in December 2014. His journey continued as he became a member of the Indian National Congress in February 2016, only to switch allegiances again to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) by December the same year. Notably, in 2019, he represented the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections from the North West Delhi Constituency, replacing Udit Raj.

Beyond politics and music, Hans Raj Hans has played an integral role in philanthropy, notably raising $1.5 million alongside Bill Clinton for the victims of the Gujarat earthquake. He has also delved deep into the teachings of Sufi saints like Baba Farid, Waris Shah, Baba Bulle Shah, and Shah Hussain to master his craft. His exceptional contributions have not gone unnoticed; he served as a jury member at the Asia Song Contest in the U.K. for three consecutive years, a unique distinction for a singer. As the spiritual head of Punjab’s Sufi Darbar, Hans continues to influence the hearts and minds of many, bringing his rich heritage into the contemporary music scene. Family remains a cornerstone of his life; his elder son, Navraj, is married to Daler Mehndi’s daughter, while his younger son, Yuvraj, is wed to television actress Mansi Sharma, creating a legacy that intertwines art, culture, and love.
