00:02Today, you have heard of Samir sir's event, one of the favorite songs.
00:10Yes.
00:10How was the song conceived of this song?
00:17Yes, it is very relevant.
00:20In fact, many of my shows that I am doing, when the song was released,
00:30my concert, either Khal Dhamal, Shah Rukh Khan's song, Salim Suleiman's music,
00:36or I am doing it from this song.
00:38And the story behind it is very funny.
00:42So, when I sang the lyrics, I received the lyrics via SMS.
00:47We were in the studio.
00:49I had a phone with Imej bhai and my dad was supervising him,
00:54because he was sitting in the sitting.
00:56So, Imej bhai told me that I was listening to him.
01:01I wanted that vibe, romance, youth, because this is a song for Salim bhai.
01:07I said it was superb.
01:09And then, we recorded it by one way.
01:11After a minute, Imej bhai came to the studio.
01:16And then, he said,
01:17No, no, no, we don't have this vibe.
01:19We have to make it more youthful.
01:22Then, he told his dad,
01:23Dad, this is not what I want.
01:26Maybe you misunderstood what I was wanting.
01:28So, then, we spent all the time,
01:30and we spent all the time.
01:34And then, we completed the song with Imej bhai.
01:36Then, we completed the song with Imej bhai.
01:49And the rest is history.
01:52Samir, you have been associated with him.
01:56What do you have to say about his new venture?
02:00Fantastic.
02:03He has always been like that.
02:21He has a knack for identifying.
02:27So, I think that's a God gift for him.
02:30After having worked on so many thousands of songs.
02:35Four thousand plus songs.
02:37I've never sung so many for one writer.
02:43I've done 127 songs by him.
02:46And, in fact, even he was quite surprised.
02:48Because when we were doing the podcast,
02:51he told me, Kunal,
02:53we have done 50 songs.
02:55I have them all documented.
02:58I have a record of most of the songs.
03:02And I think the only other person I know
03:04who's got a record in the mail is Sonu.
03:08Sonu writes all his songs in books.
03:10Because we saw our seniors do that.
03:13So, I have my songs documented.
03:14So, he was so happy.
03:16And we spoke about it on the podcast.
03:18That was quite interesting.
03:20I will watch it.
03:21One question,
03:22which comes in my mind.
03:27After COVID,
03:28the concerts are really, really interesting.
03:32Yeah.
03:33They are not going to theatre as much as they are going for a concert.
03:38Correct.
03:39So, how do you see the concert culture in India in the next few years?
03:43Was the present or the present and the future of the concert?
03:46Well, concerts were always in.
03:49Even before COVID.
03:52I remember my parents and a lot of people that I know
03:56who said they went for Kishore Kumar Sahib's,
03:58Mohammed Rafi Sahib's,
03:59Hemant Kumar, Asha Ji,
04:00Latta Ji's concerts.
04:03But yes, after COVID,
04:05it's kind of got a bigger push.
04:09Because obviously people want the entertainment.
04:12They want to touch and feel the artist.
04:13They want to be there, not just watch it.
04:16So, it's a good thing because, you know,
04:18it's a win-win situation.
04:21I've seen them a lot.
04:23Last question.
04:24This is not related to music.
04:26This is related to the present society, I will say.
04:39Yes.
04:43Go ahead.
04:56There is a lot of good news.
05:01I was following it, but because you are a journalist, you are a press, you are a media,
05:09you are a lot of focus on that.
05:11There is a lot of good news.
05:12Then there will be a lot of other things.
05:15Because you know, a mother, a woman, whether she's a daughter, sister, mother, mother-in-law,
05:22they are homemakers and that's the biggest responsibility and it's a thankless job, unfortunately.
05:29But that is changing.
05:30For many generations I have seen that men, brothers, husbands, fathers, grandfathers
05:37have always given respect to their partners at every level from the time they get married.
05:45And I think that is real progress.
05:47Because if you look at Bharatvarsh in its medieval times, it's written in our scriptures as well
05:54that if you do not respect a woman, then it begins to get married.
05:59So I think, you know, we are rising towards a golden India.
06:03We are looking at 100 years now, 2047, which our Prime Minister keeps talking about.
06:08And I think from this reservation and from this start, I think we are going to see a much faster
06:15we won't have to wait till 2047.
06:18You know.
06:19You know.
06:20Very, very good.
06:21When you said about Samir Ji,
06:23the question you asked,
06:26I would like to say in one line that Samir Ji,
06:31he is a very rich man.
06:34He is very easy.
06:37If he knows that he is going to polish it in his hands,
06:41he would take it in his hands.
06:42He would take it in a raw state.
06:44This is a gift for them.
06:45You know.
06:46What was it?
06:52I was already in the Munch because they didn't have time, but in my struggling period, they were watching me
06:59in Anand Milin and Nadeem Shravan.
07:02I had access to the two studios.
07:06Purnima, the playback singer, Sushma Shresh.
07:09So through them, I had permission to come into the recording studio.
07:16In that time, I had permission to come and no one was allowed.
07:20So I got to learn a lot.
07:21I was looking at Samir Ji and Nadeem Shravan.
07:28I lived in the studio.
07:30So they were always watching me.
