As a legendary ghazal singer do you think there aren't too many takers for your style of music?

I am not saying I will change my style of singing for them. But the style of music, style of instruments which are used and played today actually sounds good. I don't want to become like today's singers who actually don't know how to sing. I am just saying that I like the beats of the drums. Otherwise contemporary music is dhin chak, dhin chak. It is almost like a remix, with less sur and taal.

So he agrees that he's the singer of the past? At least that's a start.

So which singer can't sing?

Many are there, almost all. I don't want to name someone and make a controversy. Everyone knows who all cannot sing.

Almost all? 😆😆 And what's funnier is that he says he doesn't want to name anyone. And then later mentions Adnan Sami. Bet he's just tempted to shout out Atif! Atif! Atif! like they do in Atif Aslam's song Doorie, at the beginning. 😆😆

Ok. Who has been your inspiration?

Mehendi Hasan and Mohammed Rafi Saab.

If not a singer, what would you have been?

I would have been a dhobi because I love to press (iron) my clothes and I also have a factory that manufactures such machinery.

🤣 banna tha dhobi, ban gaye singer. and i'm sorry, does he later laugh at adnan sami from becoming a singer instead of an actor? 😆

When was your first stage performance?

I was in class 3 and I sung a ghazal and won the first prize.

After the terrorist attack in Bombay, how should Bollywood treat Pakistani singers since the terrorists were trained across the border?

Bollywood should ban them. That's all. It is as simple as washing your hands after using the toilet. India should ban or cut all relationships with Pakistan as soon as possible. Some Pakistanis come with weapons comes to India on one hand, to earn money and fame and on the other hand with In hand with weapons and some of them come to make money and become famous. Ek taraf zakham dete hai, dusri ore marham lagate hai. They come to India earn money and don't even pay tax to our country. Then what's the point of giving them a platform here?

But Pakistani singers are said to be very good.

Hahaha! I should tell you that shouting loudly does not make anyone a singer.

oho, Himesh Reshammiya and Neeraj Sridhar should've been Pakistanis. Dekho, dekho, kahin woh disguise me toh nahi? 🤣

Every one is not Mehendi Hasanji. There is another very popular singer whose name I can't remember figure if it is girl or a guy singing.

dil ke armaan aasoonon me beh gaye .... more like dil ki baat bahano me beh gayee 😆😆 atif! atif! atif!😆😆

There are so many good singers in India so why bring them from Pakistan?

then when America says that there are so many IT technicians in the US, why bring more over from India, toh bora kyon lagta hai? us waqt yeh sab bhashan bhool jaaten hain. 😉😆

Getting 'imported product' is the fashion in India, because singing talent from Pakistan is imported.

India should stop import and increase export. God forbid America stopped importing, how will Sonu Nigam's son have US citizenship, then? 😆

No need to give them a place to stay or chance to stay because they don't even pay taxes. India is calling people from Pakistan that's why they are killing us. History stands testimony to the fact that of Indians welcomed the British to India and then hey ruled us for 200 years. So why are you allowing any Pakistanis to enter India? Government should strictly end all relations with Pakistan and Bollywood should boycott Pakistani artists.

Which Pakistani singer are you pointing to? Is it Adnan Sami?

No, no woh toh galti se singer ban gaya. He had come here to become an actor and by mistake he became a singer. He can't even sing. People like him should be sent back to Pakistan to work there because they make money in India and send it to Pakistan.
Agar talent Himesh Reshammiya ka naam hai, toh I'm glad that Adnan Sami can't sing. 😆

No personal or political offense meant towards anyone. I have high respect for Jagjit Singh's talent, but can't stand people who make fools out of themselves publicly by making such retarded statements. Overlooking and undermining someone else's talent does not increase your own talent.

The comments in this article are so ludicrous that I have trouble believing someone sane could've made such political statements in a world where everyone's trying to be "politically correct".
