This audio was recorded in Anand Bakshi’s house in 1997 during a NFAK Welcome Party, many guest celebrities were present to meet NFAK … and Anand’s Bakshi forced NFAK to sing hislatest composed “Ishq Di Galli Wich ” ..
“Ishq Di Galli Wich ” was a uper-hit song from movie “Kachche Dhaage” , composed by NFAK. However he offered the song to Hanj Raj Hans (who did a good job) , wonder how it would have been if he wound have sang it himself
Take a look…
Recorded Song:
Did you feel the difference between good and great?
Hans Raj Raj is an artist with not only a beautiful voice but also a pure and beautiful heart, In an interview in Pakistan , he remembers two best moments of his life. One when Lata Ji invited him for her birthday and second when Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan offered him a song in Kachche Dhaage (Ishq Ki Galli Vich). (Look at how he hold’s his ears while taking NFAK’s name)
We all know and love Malkit Singh for the songs “Gur Nalo Ishq Mita”, “Tootak Tootak Tootiyan”, “Kurri Garam Jayee”, “Dekh li vilyait”, as well as “Chal Hun,” and “Jind Mahi” from the blockbuster Bend It Like Beckham film soundtrack.
Malkit Sing was obsessed with NFAK from late 80’s but could never get a chance to see the man himself. He kept asking people around him so make it possible as soon as possible, and the big day came as a surprise. It was a Sunday afternoon in early 1990 when he got a call from Mohammad Ayyub from Oriental star Agency for a meeting. When Malkit reached there , he was surprised, it was NFAK sitting there waiting for him…. What happened next..
Malkit was over-whelmed with emotions ” It was like Eklavya meeting his great guru, his musical god.” He touched NFAk’s feet and couldn’t dare to sit on chair (on same lever with NFAK), so he sat dawn near NFAK legs … saying the obvious ” I am you biggest fan” , NFAK replied back “I am your fan too , I loved your song Kuri Kad Ke Kalja, you took some awesome places” .. Malkit was speechless , such a great personality and so down to earth. He even went on to ask NFAK to accept him in his Chorus (he wanted to sit and clap behind NFAK) …
When NFAK died, Malkit left his concert in middle (how could he sing), he went to Airport and carried NFAK’s body from Stretcher to his shoulder … he followed his emotional and traditional obligations…
Ray Khan sits in for Rupal and invites Malkit Singh to talk about his experiences of meeting the Ustad, and he’ll be performing a couple of his favourite Qawwali’s live in the studio.
