Woh kabhi mil jaye...Ali says it all
The veteran singer from Pak is in the city to hold a ghazal workshop followed by a live performance at Ambedkar Bhavan.
The singer, who enchanted a lucky few in a one-on-one meeting on Friday, spoke about what his singing career, his opinion of remixes and why he has kept away from singing for movies.
"Today, singers want to get popular overnight, but even I consider that kind of success as a bane since it does not last for long," he felt.
Coming from a family of classical singers, Ghulam Ali built the foundation stone of his musical career listening to his father and later spending 12 years under Ustad Mubarak Ali Khan.
"I will never forget the night when Khan Saheb asked me to sing. Even though Ali Khan fell off to sleep, Ghulam Ali continued singing because he couldn't disobey his guru's orders.
"When Khan Saheb woke up at 4 am and saw me still singing, he blessed me, saying the audience who would listen to me with as much sincerity as I performed that night without one," recalled the visibly moved Ghulam Ali.
Since then Ghulam Ali's fan circle has been swelling all over the world. Though cinemas could have given him faster publicity, Ghulam Ali kept a safe distance from it.
"My father believed that movies, though having a wider reach, does not help retail individuality, more so there is a thrill to meet live audiences and read their expressions," said the maestro.
Describing remixes as business for those who are scared of competition, he said: "Yeh ek toofan ki tarah tezi se aayee hai aur tezi se chali bhi jayeegi. Mein uske jaane ke intezar mein hun (The phase of remixes has come like a storm, though it has come with a bang, it will soon leave. I am waiting for it to leave)."
From singing his first song at a radio station in Pakistan to celebrating the golden jubilee of his singing with an Indian audience, Ghulam Ali has truely built a strong bridge between the two neighbouring countries.
