I am missing the magic of live: Pankaj Udhas
In January this year, Ghazal singer Pankaj Udhas completed 40 long years of his career. With more than 50 albums under his belt and some ever-green film songs including `Chitthi Aayee Hai and `Jeeye To Jeeye Kaise, the singer was all set for a grand celebration -- 40 concerts across the country. However, he could do only one at the Nehru Stadium in Mumbai in January. "Things changed completely after Covid struck. Nobody could imagine," laments this Padma Shri recipient.
Optimistic about the future and popularity of Ghazals among the young, Pankaj Udhas says that one just has to take a look at social media to see how the genre is faring among the young.
