Harshdeep Kaur, born on 16 December 1986, celebrates her birthday today! The singer has undoubtedly been a blessing to the music industry, especially Bollywood. In the past few years, the industry has sadly churned out very less original voices that are worth remembering. However, Harshdeep managed to break this curse and entered the town like a breath of fresh air. There are some amazing B-town albums that have her songs and are still ruling the hearts.

The performer has worked with the stellar music composers by now. And they all worked so well! AR Rahman, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Pritam, Amit Trivedi, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Salim Sulaiman and more are proudly printed on her CV. We aren't surprised though as who wouldn't want a fresh voice like hers to be in their music list too? Here are the top five songs of hers that have to be in the list of any true desi music player's list!

Ik Onkar (Rang De Basanti): Probably AR Rahman's one of the best spiritual songs got a touch of her voice. Indeed, it is more like a stress buster!

Katiya Karun (Rockstar): The film based on intense love and heartbreak has this peppy, melodious song. Apt for the chemistry and the vibe of the scene, we can't imagine any other voice instead of hers.

Jugni Ji (Cocktail): The sad, heartbreaking track featuring Deepika Padukone is like the oasis in the middle of a desert. The song clearly stands apart from the rest of the songs in the album.

Nachde Ne Saare (Baar Baar Dekho): This is legit the latest favourite wedding track of the Millenials! The entire album has amazing songs and this one just adds a new flavour to it! She lent her voice along with Jasleen Royal and Siddharth Mahadevan.

Dilbaro (Raazi): The latest composition by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy is pure gold. The track is a perfect ode to the father-daughter relationship, and it is also perfectly emoted by the singer through her voice.

In the age of remakes and rehashes, we need more of such original songs honestly. After all, they have a longer shelf life in the hearts of the fans! We are glad that Harshdeep made the most of these original tracks! On her birthday, we wish her more such authentic and beautiful tracks!
