From our Archives- Conversation with Jagit Singh Sahaab
This conversation is brought to you from our archives in association with India’s leading Hindi entertainment channels Star Plus and Life OK – It was one of those monsoon evenings if I remember it right, a few years back, when I called the great ghazal king,Jagjit Singh Sahaab…he was driving through the heavy traffic of Mumbai and said I could interview him there and then…but what with so much noise in the background, we decided that the peaceful atmosphere at home would be a much better place …
In the next hour,with the slight pittar patter of the rain in Mumbai at the backdrop, I was talking to the great legend, someone who has been a part of almost every Indian household, someone who is, nay, was credited of bringing the ghazals to the masses..in a more simpler language…in their own language..
Today, the heart does feel heavy as I wish I could turn back the clock, ask the heavens to bestow him with a few more years…because he still had to give the society so much…
But life takes its own course, and today as we are at the threshold of yet another death anniversary of Jagjit Singh Sahaab, we bring to you this conversation taken a few years back but a conversation which will take you down to his childhood, his college days, his first movie song, and so much more…
Tune-in then for sure on our Hindi Radio Show, “Chat & Chai ” at 7 AM, 9 AM, 11 AM, 2PM, 5 PM & 8 PM EST on Friday, October 09 . Tune in for the repeat broadcast on Saturday & Sunday, Oct 10 & Oct 11 at 7 AM,12 PM ,7 PM on MeraSangeet Gold
