The hitmaker is part of a three day celebration that features versatile singer Hariharan and stand ups Biswa and Amit Tandon
UAE is like a second home for me. Each time I perform here, it's the energy of the fabulous audience that brings out the best in me. This time too, music lovers can expect only the best from me!
I would love to sing the beautiful Ae Watan song from the film Raazi on this special occasion. But it all depends on the energy of the audience. I prefer to keep things fluid.
For me, It is all about the song, the music, lyrics, and the vibe. There is no particular genre that I prefer over the other.
I believe in the saying 'change is the only constant'. So let there be newer trends! The more, the better!
I have known no other way of life but of one full of music. Thankfully, I have lived my dream and I am living it every day. Hence, there is no room for regrets.
I am so glad you asked me about this particular song. The track has lived with all of us who've loved (the song) and cried while watching the song in the original animated movie. The memory of the song itself was enough of a reference point for me. I am happy to have shared my interpretation with you all and I hope you've all liked it as well.
Vikram is a dear friend and I couldn't have been happier being a part of his new journey. I have sung many songs in Marathi before, so there wasn't any discomfort for me.
Sonu and I have sung so many songs in the past. It was great to team up with him once again for this wonderful melody.
No. In fact I feel it is a compliment. Knowing that the songs I've sung so many years ago are still relevant and people have the thirst to redesign and present them again makes me feel nostalgic!
This is the best time for me. The need to see my little boy grow every day has made me merge family and work seamlessly. Thankfully, I have my support system in place and I can only wish and pray that every working mother gets the same and more.
It's going to be a laugh-a-thon when leading comedians Amit Tandon and Biswa Kalyan Rath go on stage together on the first day of the event. Amit's humour is universal and connects with all segments of the crowd. Biswa's style of comedy can best be described as angry rants bordering on what's socially acceptable. On the last day of Jai Ho, paying tribute to the diversity of India and presenting classical soulful music is playback singer and Padma Shri Award winner Hariharan. He is bringing his vast repertoire of songs from movies and albums to the show. An established ghazal singer and one of the pioneers in Indian fusion music, Hariharan has a song bank in various languages.
