00:00Subhanallah! Subhanallah! Subhanallah! Subhanallah!
00:16A bird was broken in such a way that it was not able to fly again.
00:23Someone robbed it in such a way that it was not able to fly again.
00:31When I came to Bombay, I was fed up of sorrows.
00:34I didn't feel that sorrows are a thing.
00:37Because, if they come, I'm happy. If they don't come, I'm happy.
00:41You don't feel the pain in the pain.
00:47When I was four years old, my parents settled in Delhi.
00:52I studied in Delhi and learned music.
00:57When I was 21-22 years old, I felt that I have spent 13-14 years in music.
01:04I have also graduated. What should I do now?
01:07One or two years pass by in a blink of an eye.
01:10Till the age of 23-24, I understood that I will have to do something in life.
01:19After that, I tried a business of export-import.
01:24It gave me a loss later.
01:26When I was in loss, I was in depression.
01:30This happens in Delhi.
01:32Because there is a lot of emotion.
01:34People get happy and sad very quickly.
01:37Because of this, I was in a bad situation.
01:42I went to Singapore for a year and settled there.
01:47I had ups and downs in life.
01:51Then I moved to Bombay.
01:55I came to Bombay in 2001.
01:58Since 2001, it has been an interesting journey.
02:04In 2002, I got my first break.
02:07It was an ad for a TV commercial.
02:12I sang in that.
02:14After that, our jingles became famous.
02:19Then I got a song for a film.
02:22My first solo song was Allah Ke Bande.
02:25The film is also like that.
02:27Vishal Dadlani wrote it.
02:29Vishal and Shekhar composed it.
02:32Tata toota ek parinda aise toota
02:36Ke phir jhud na paaya
02:39Ho loota loota kisne usko aise loota
02:44Ke phir udna paaya
02:47Girta hua wo asma se aakar gira zameen par
02:52Khaabon me phir bhi baadal hi the wo kehta raha magar
02:57When you get a prestigious award in the industry,
03:00the whole industry knows you.
03:03The benefit of knowing the whole industry is that
03:06your work increases.
03:08That's how it happened with us.
03:10Till now, we have sung in more than 500 ad films.
03:14Till now, we have sung in 200-300 films.
03:18100-150 have come out.
03:20At least 50-60 songs have become hits.
03:23Rang dini rang dini
03:25Rang dini rang dini
03:27Rang dini rang dini
03:29Rang dini rang dini
03:31Rang dini rang dini
03:33Rang dini rang dini
03:37Piya ke rang rang dini odhni
03:41Piya ke rang rang dini odhni
03:45I was very sad.
03:47In the beginning, I didn't have a place to stay.
03:50I didn't have money to eat.
03:52I didn't have anyone to know.
03:54I didn't have anyone to call my brother,
03:58godfather, godbrother, godmother.
04:01There are many now.
04:03But the world is different now.
04:05When a cow is milked,
04:07it can have 20 owners.
04:10But those who don't have milk,
04:13other than the butcher,
04:15they have no right.
04:17Since childhood, I have seen
04:20so many hardships in life.
04:23When I came to Bombay,
04:25I was fed up of pain.
04:27At that time, I didn't feel
04:29that pain is a thing.
04:31Because if it comes, I am happy.
04:33If it doesn't come, I am happy.
04:35I don't feel the pain.
04:37Now I have seen so much pain.
04:39Until then, I didn't feel
04:41that there is any pain.
04:43When I came to Bombay,
04:45I didn't have a place to stay.
04:47I didn't have money to eat.
04:49I didn't get disturbed.
04:51There was a huge sea of pain
04:53behind me.
04:56That's why I was sad.
04:58I was very restless.
05:00I was very depressed.
05:02I was a coward.
05:04I didn't get disturbed.
05:06In such a situation,
05:08the psychological support
05:10was of my family.
05:12Classical is a little difficult.
05:14It takes a lot of days.
05:16If you earn a name,
05:18you will have to wait
05:19till you start singing
05:21in a few places.
05:23Then you will be respected.
05:25It was a very long process.
05:27I didn't find it so interesting.
05:29I had to cater
05:31for the younger generation.
05:33I had to give them
05:35something that would
05:37touch their heart
05:39without telling them.
05:41I didn't have to say
05:43that they are elders.
05:45This is our culture.
05:47If I had to say
05:49that you are a coward
05:51and your children are cowards,
05:53I would have to tell them
05:55that they are our elders.
05:57I don't believe
05:59in such things.
06:01There should be
06:03a reawakening
06:05in the soul.
06:07The way God has given
06:09our music life,
06:11the way we sing,
06:13our young generation
06:15has a lot of
06:17fan following.
06:19The young generation
06:21has a lot of
06:23fan following.
06:25This is why they
06:27have to be
06:29a part of
06:31the culture.
06:33The young generation
06:36should be
06:38a part
06:40of the culture.
06:42They should
06:44be a part
06:46of the music.
06:48We can't do that.
06:53And even if I try, people will laugh at me.
06:56They might even get angry.
06:58Because we don't have this kind of attitude.
07:01We don't have this kind of influence.
07:03We don't have this kind of standard.
07:05Our way of thinking is different.
07:07I am a person of a different way of thinking.
07:09I see very few qualities in the world.
07:12I see more flaws in everything.
07:14So when I see the world like this,
07:17my outlook is different from the rest of the world.
07:23That's why people will look at my work.
07:26Subhan Allah! Subhan Allah!
07:30Subhan Allah! Subhan Allah!
07:34Subhan Allah! Subhan Allah!
07:38Subhan Allah! Subhan Allah!
07:42If you meet a knowledgeable person,
07:44you will learn a lot.
07:46If you meet a fool, you will fight with him.
07:48So if you meet people who are like you,
07:52for the sake of your work,
07:54your life will flow towards infinite success.
07:59And I consider myself fortunate
08:03that this happened to me.
08:05God has given me the support of great musicians.
08:09And God has also opened many doors for me.
08:13I am going to be involved in some international projects.
08:17Such things are happening.
08:19Whenever I sang with A. R. Rahman,
08:21in whichever country I sang,
08:23it is a very emotional thing,
08:25it is a very touching thing
08:27that whenever an ordinary person sings,
08:30all the great singers who were with us,
08:35like Hariharan, Udit Narayan,
08:38Alka Yagnik, Sadhna Sargam,
08:40Madhu Shree,
08:41there were many other great singers with us.
08:44Once it was Daler Mehndi,
08:45once it was Sukhwinder Singh.
08:47So A. R. Rahman himself sits on his platform,
08:52plays the piano and that's it.
08:54But whenever I sang,
08:56he came to the front stage with me,
08:59sang with me,
09:01and the kind of action I was doing,
09:04once he came in such excitement,
09:07I sing with a little emotion,
09:11which people feel like I am dancing.
09:14When I dance,
09:16I don't even know A, B, C, D,
09:18but I sing with a little emotion,
09:20drowning in my fun.
09:22Similarly, A. R. Rahman also drowned once.
09:25He was in Australia, in Melbourne.
09:27So there are many such experiences.
09:29And when such great talented people
09:32express their feelings in this way,
09:37then the heart gets a very good experience.
