One of the most underrated and under-utilized Bollywood singers, Nikhil DSouza has given us some gems that can easily fix a rough day. As the singer turns 40 today, let us take you through his best songs that are a must-include in your playlist. Happy birthday Nikhil DSouza

1. Sham - Aisha
You'd be lying if you haven't imagined camping on the beach on a winter night with your friends, listening to the waves, and then sleeping in a cozy tent while listening to this song. 'Sham' was an instant hit the moment it was released. It was probably the only good thing in the movie apart from Abhay Deol's dimpled-smile. Sung by Nikhil D'Souza, the music was fantastically given by Amit Trivedi.If this song isn't on your playlist, we're already judging you!

2. Aazaadiyan - Udaan
Fantastic movie + splendid song + soulful voice = a definite superhit. Not everyone would know this masterpiece, but the ones who do - they'll know what's it like to be free. We won't say much, we'll let you listen to it.You can thank us and Nikhil D'Souza later.

3. Mere Bina - Crook
Let's take you down the memory lane where you were making imaginary scenarios in your head about you and your crush slow-dancing on this song. A perfect song to express your feelings to the one you love, Nikhil's voice elevates this song. Mere Bina is not a song, it is a mood.BRB, listening to Mere Bina on loop.

4. O Gujariya - Queen
If you thought only Kangana Ranaut stole the movie, wait till you hear the songs. It is safe to say that Nikhil D'Souza's O Gujariya was the party anthem of 2014. A feeling of letting go and enjoying life as it comes - the singer totally does justice to this masterpiece. O Gujariya is another Amit Trivedi - Nikhil D'Souza collaboration.Adding the singer's beautiful songs to your Bollywood playlist is something you'd want to do right away. Happy birthday Nikhil D'Souza.
