00:00Rafi sahab has been my first guru after my father and mother because they are the ones
00:13who introduced me to his greatness.
00:17I have not just treated him like a teacher, I have treated him like a God and he's been
00:28like my peer, I have worshipped him and he has taught me, of course I have listened to
00:34so many other singers, I have not just listened to one particular singer but my primary inspiration
00:44has been Rafi sahab and I am so elated that on his 100th birthday I have been given the
00:51honour to celebrate his 100th birthday by his family, Shahid Rafi ji, Firdaus ji and
01:01my guru Ghulam Ustad Khan sahab's children Rabbani and his wife Namrata.
01:08I am so honoured that out of all his disciples I got this good fortune and I am really thankful to God.
01:15Even I learnt it last time, just recently I learnt about it, I am very happy.
01:29Everything has its time, I always feel that you can't plan anything, whenever it's bound to happen, it happens.
01:38Like people have been trying for Kishore Kumar ji's biopic but it hasn't happened as yet you see.
01:42So it will happen eventually when it's meant to happen and same with Rafi sahab's biopic also.
01:48And I really hope that it turns out to be a super duper hit.
02:01Music is beautiful, today they are making great music. Indian music is now, it's like a melting pot.
02:09We are experiencing so many different genres and such good singers today.
02:14I would say today the quality of singers is much better than any other.
02:19Everybody is well trained, everybody is coming with optimum knowledge, everybody is hard working.
02:27Nobody has come here just to have fun. Everybody is well prepared.
02:34You listen to the newer singers, I am shocked how well Aditya Singh sings.
02:39Shreya and Suvidya are still senior. Vishal Mishra is doing so well.
02:44There are so many beautiful singers, Amitabh and Amit Mishra and Tushar.
02:53I am missing out on so many, I am going black.
02:58Neeti Mohan is so good. Aditya Singh Sharma, she is also good.
03:05Aseez Kaur, all of them are good singers.
03:14The singers who did not have, who couldn't have made it otherwise.
03:21Because of the internet and social media, if your song becomes popular, you can have your way.
03:32Earlier it wasn't the case.
03:40We are a very encouraging society. Anybody who has talent can shine in India.
