Birthday Special! Ninja: Lesser known facts about the Punjabi singer-actor

They say slow and steady wins the race, looking at the career graph of Punjabi singer-actor Ninja, we can’t agree more. Today this ‘Aadat’ fame singer is known to give one hit after another, however, did you know he didn’t get success with his debut track and had to work a lot for making a name in the industry. Do you wish to know facts like these and more about Ninja a.k.a Amit Bhalla? If yes, then keep scrolling as today Ninja has turned a year older and we have collected some lesser known facts about the Punjabi singer and actor.

2/6

The part-time job at a telecom operator

Ninja who today is gradually becoming a Punjabi movies and music industry staple, didn’t make his first earning through the very field. In his college days, Ninja did part-time job in the telecom sector as the team lead and made around 2500INR/month. However, least did he know back then that soon enough he would be pursuing a career in the field of his interest. As a matter of fact, not just pursue, but excel.

3/6

The pressure of conventional studies

Like every other Indian parent, Ninja’s folks also wanted him to continue conventional studies. They wanted him to complete his education and find a career in the same field instead of performing arts. However, as they say, the heart wants what the heart wants, and his heart wanted music. Thus, despite the pressure, he followed the word of his heart.

4/6

The physical transformation

Staying in the glam world takes more than what meets the eye, and Ninja understood this at the very beginning of his career. The singer-actor who today is known to flaunt his perfectly pumped-up muscles in the gym was one over-weighted guy earlier. He lost around 70kgs in order to be in shape. And today, even after being in shape, he makes sure to not cut slack when it comes to his work out routine.

5/6

An artist of performing arts, but not singing

Music in every form has always been fascinating for Ninja. Thus, before making it big on the singing front, he entered the world of music as a bhangra performer. This was his first move into the world of music and entertainment and he did garner love and appreciation through the same.

6/6

Stole the thunder at the promotions of ‘Goreyan Nu Daffa Karo’

Since Ninja has always been a live wire on the stage, he was called by Amrinder Gill during the promotions of ‘Goreyan Nu Daffa Karu’. Ninja along with a lot of other artists performed at a state university and swept the audience off their feet. At the end when all the artists were asked to come on the stage again, the crowd cheered in unison for Ninja to perform one more time. Thus, during the promotion, he simply stole the show.
