Himesh Reshammiya searched, went from being a singer at the railway station to a viral star overnight – where is Ranu Mandal now?
Read Entertainment Desk. For a while in 2019, Ranu Mandal became an example of hope, proof that real talent can be found anywhere, even on a railway platform. A video of Lata Mangeshkar singing the song “Ek Pyar Ka Nagma Hai” spread like wildfire online, due to which an unknown singer from Ranaghat became a national sensation overnight. His story of rising from poverty to riches made the entire nation crazy, and his fans started calling him “the voice of Maa Saraswati”. This viral moment soon opened the doors of Bollywood, and music composer Himesh Reshammiya offered her a song in his film “Happy Hardy and Heer”.
But as quickly as he gained fame, it also ended just as quickly. Years later, many are wondering: what happened to the singer who became famous overnight, and where is Ranu Mondal now?
From sudden fame to a quiet life
According to reports, despite the fame she got after the viral success, Ranu was struggling to maintain her place in the industry. She appeared in television reality shows, received offers from Mumbai’s music circuit and was also popular on social media for some time. However, this trend did not last long. Within a few months, she moved away from the public eye and returned to her hometown near Kolkata, and returned to the simple life she had led before.
house in trouble
Recently, during the visit of YouTuber Nishu Tiwari, we got a glimpse of Ranu Mandal’s life today and this picture was quite bad. The video showed his house in a very bad condition, with garbage spread on the floor, walls broken and insects visible in the corners. They were seen eating food on plastic sheets and are said to be dependent on neighbors for food and daily needs.
When Nishu brought food for her, Ranu looked very happy. He told that they did not have any utensils to keep the things, so they were spread like this.
‘Learned English in Mumbai’
An unexpected moment in the video caught the attention of the audience when Ranu answered many questions in English. When asked about this, he said, “I learned English in Mumbai”. The footage also showed piles of garbage and old items inside his house, which shows the stark difference between his current condition and his momentary glow of viral fame.
The struggle behind closed doors
People close to Ranu Mandal have claimed that her mental health has deteriorated in the last few years. According to them, she often behaves strangely, which includes laughing suddenly and becoming restless. Financially he is dependent on others to meet his daily needs.
His journey from singing at the railway station to recording in a Bollywood studio was no less than a miracle. Yet, the fallout that followed was just as heartbreaking, reminding the once-famous magical voice of just how fragile viral fame can be.
