Watching the Hindi film ‘Jab We met’ suddenly I came across this song which I don’t think I had heard before. Who is the singer? Similar to Jagjeet Singh? .. No. The words just hit you hard. Soft, firm.
I must have gone through all the shorts available for this song. Some have danced to the tune, others have tried to copy it. All of Ustad Rashid Khan’s. From various programmes. There is shortage. I have watched some kohl eyed beauties with the song playing in the background. Just highlighting one verse!
The masterpiece that the film is, this song is the highlight! All the songs are beautiful. Gems. With the lovable leads.This stand alone song shines. Was it the tears of Kareena or the situation?
‘Yaad Piya ki aaye’ with Anup Jalota in attendence or a concert at Poonam Dhillon’s with his son singing ‘Aaye na Baalam’. Talaat Azeez adding a line, Padmini Kolhapure in attendence. His latest ‘riyaaz ‘ clip singing ‘Mere naina Sawan bhaado… ..’ a delight.
Why did he leave in such a hurry? Immediately followed by the gorgeous lady Pandit Prabha Atre ? There is still so much to do in the world of music.
I hate losing people like this.
