Sharma finished as runner-up in a singing competition in 2011
While we might know him today as the 'king of Indian comedy,' little credit is given to his singing prowess.

Last year, Sharma also caught everyone by surprise when he shared the stage with veteran musicians Hariharan and Shankar Mahadevan to sing Kash Aisa Koi Manzar Hota.
