00:00🎵Mere rash ke kamar, tu ne pehle nazar, jab nazar se milai maza gaya🎵

00:14Mr. K. Khan was very heavy and fat.

00:19And you must have seen that even at the age of 12, I was very thin and would fall from the air.

00:30I was that type.

00:32Now, if I am 6 years old, then I will be even more.

00:37His fatness and my chunnu-munnu.

00:42It was such that when he used to lie on a bed, I used to climb on top of him.

00:48So I used to say, this is my mountain.

00:51This is my hill.

00:54I am top of everybody.

00:57He was angry, but not all the time.

01:01When you make a mistake musically, he can't bear it.

01:07Straight away, get out.

01:09He didn't scold me in my childhood.

01:12When I grew up, I realized that I made a mistake.

01:17Once he was happy.

01:19When our show was happening at the Royal Lancaster Hall in Central London.

01:26I think Dorchester.

01:30Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna, Imran Khan and Mick Jagger were there.

01:37My performance was very good there.

01:39People appreciated it a lot.

01:41First and last time, he speaks about me.

01:47He is my son.

01:48He will not be happy.

01:49But he will end this wrong revolution.

01:54I finished it earlier.

01:56People were listening to such bad music in the 90s.

02:01Then what revolution happened?

02:03Musklander came.

02:05No, I think Coke Studio did a good job before this.

02:09And this year has been the most flop year of Coke Studio.

02:16Coke Studio, which runs from Pakistan.

02:19This is all crystal clear story.

02:23Nobody worked hard on that.

02:26The song that I sang was lost to someone else.

02:29The song that someone else sang was lost to me.

02:31Yes, I am talking about Sayoni.

02:33But we have sung Sayoni at least in Sur.

02:37We are doing work on festivals.

02:42The classical festivals.

02:44We are concentrating on that.

02:46To do Qawwali there.

02:49There are big platforms to promote art.

02:52Where real music is appreciated.

02:59Singers have understood pilgrimage and Hajj as Bollywood.

03:07If they come to Bollywood or Coke Studio.

03:11That's enough sir.

03:12We are complete.

03:14There should be conferences for real music.

03:18You should go there too.

03:19Why are you afraid to go there?

03:21Because you don't complete there.

03:23This is a 40 year old composition.

03:25Which is a super hit today.

03:28It is playing everywhere.

03:44It is playing everywhere.

03:46It is playing everywhere.
