Venod Sharma, also credited as Vinod Sharma, was a Hindi playback singer associated with Hindi films and devotional music. Available song databases credit him with a relatively small but notable body of recorded work, particularly during the 1970s and 1980s.
His recorded songs include “Tu Hi Sagar Tu Hi Kinara” from Sankalp (1974) with Sulakshana Pandit, “Jo Aata Hai Wo Jata Hai” from Bhakti Mein Bhagwan (1975), “Siyavar Ramchandra Ki Jay” from Jaaneman (1976) and “Sunte Ho Aji Sunte Ho” from Kissa Kursi Ka (1977).
Venod Sharma (Vinod Sharma) is a relatively obscure playback singer, and reliable biographical information about his personal life is limited. Music archives document his work as a singer in several Hindi films, but detailed information about his education, family background, birth and death has not been reliably established in the major publicly available sources.
One of his best-documented performances is “Tu Hi Sagar Tu Hi Kinara”, a duet with Sulakshana Pandit from Sankalp (1974). The song was composed by Khayyam and written by Kaifi Azmi.
He also performed “Kanhaiya Kanhaiya” in Raja Aur Runk (1968) alongside Lata Mangeshkar, Manna Dey and Kaumudi Munshi, with music by Laxmikant–Pyarelal and lyrics by Anand Bakshi.
His other documented recordings include “Make Memories” from Waqt Se Pahle (1984) and “Tax Free” from Hanuman Da Damdaar (2017).
