I also wanted to say something about some people's comments on Shaan's "dramatics". Before I get into that, I'd like to tell a story first. My father migrated to Mumbai in 1947. Along with him, came many greats and we ended up being neighbors to one of the most successful music directors of yesteryears. We have witnessed the struggle of many artists, some of which are known today as legends. We have also heard many stories about the politics that are out there. Sadly, many have not reached the peak of success inspite of being talented.
Manas Mukherjee was one such name. He has given music in a handful of movies, but his name will never be taken along with the likes of S.D. Burman, R.D. Burman, Laxmikant Pyarelal etc. This rose to frustration that took a toll on his family. It was this pain that made Shaan decide never to give up. Sagarika was not made for this kind of struggle and she drifted away, although I think that she was even more talented than Shaan. But Shaan did not give up, and somewhere in his heart he knows that he is so successful only because of his dad's legacy.
No, he has not forgotten his father. He has been trying to put together an album for his father's collections along with his sister. I know that this industry is full of wolves with each one waiting to pull down the other, and one is bound to change. But I can vouch that Shaan's feelings for his dad was completely genuine, and I'm really sad to see that some people are trying to find some intention behind his emotions.
