Breathless is the 1998 Indi-pop album by Indian singer-composer Shankar Mahadevan featuring lyricist Javed Akhtar.

The title track, "Breathless," is a steady stream of a song that goes on without a break, stanzas, verse or apparently even a pause for breath.

Mahadevan made the album in collaboration with Akhtar, a reputed lyricist in the Indian music industry.

Renu Desai was a model and appeared in the music video of Shankar Mahadevan's "Breathless".
