MUMBAI: Jubin Nautiyal started his career as a participant on X Factor India in 2011 and made it to the top 25. However, back then, his audition had not impressed judge Sonu Nigam.

Although Sonu rejected Jubin, he moved to the next stage of the show after getting positive responses from the other two judges: Shreya Ghoshal and Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

At the X Factor India audition, Jubin sang Tujhe Bhula Diya, and left the audience chanting ‘once more’. Shreya told him that he had a ‘beautiful timbre of voice’ but needed to work on his singing quite a bit. Sanjay complimented his voice and personality before adding, “Overall, there is something there but there is something not there, I am a little unsure.”

Sonu agreed with them and rejected Jubin, who told him, “I will try harder. Whatever you are saying, everything is right. Yeh mera best nahi tha, mujhko pata hai (I know this was not my best).” Shreya and Sanjay voted yes.

Jubin made his playback singing debut with Ek Mulakat from Sonali Cable. He has given hits such as The Humma Song, Tujhe Kitna Chahein Aur Hum, Tum Hi Aana, Lut Gaye, and Raataan Lambiyan.
