MUMBAI: Singer, actor and host of singing reality show ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa’, Aditya Narayan recalled how a fan of composer and singer Shankar Mahadevan interrupted his performance and requested him again and again to sing ‘Kal Ho Na Ho’.
Aditya said: “I remember I was doing a corporate show where I met a man who claimed to be a huge fan of Shankar Mahadevan. Throughout the concert I had noticed, he kept on requesting that one song – ‘Kal Ho Na Ho’. I tried avoiding the request initially because we all know how corporate shows are, mostly rhythmic songs are more appreciated there.”
“But this man kept waiting and I finally decided to allow him to sing the song and passed on the mic. And you won’t believe it! I was singing ‘Tattad Tattad’ and the moment the mic was in his hand, he just started singing ‘Kal Ho Na Ho’. I think that’s the magic of the song and Shankar sir’s voice,” he added elaborating on the incident and popularity of Shankar Mahadevan.
