The Jai Ho singer lands in Chandigarh on Thursday to promote his first ticketed concert to be held in the city. Sukhwinder talks about his journey, love for food and the City Beautiful. In a mood to sing too, Sukhwinder croons a few of his fanfavourite melodies and charms everyone with fun stories from his life. Even though Sukhwinder started his musical journey very early — performed at eight and composed at 13 — he believes it's never late to follow one’s passion for singing. He says, "An artiste should never stop learning. I always try to reinvent myself and in doing so, it is for the first time that I will be performing with an orchestra of more than 37 members. Earlier, I used to perform with a 15-person team. But I wish to create an immersive experience for audiences. I am inspired from Taal Kacheri and wish to include a similar process in my concerts, starting from Chandigarh." As renowned singer Sukhwinder Singh gears up for a concert in City Beautiful, he says he always tries to reinvent himself with each song PHOTO: NITIN MITTAL Melody man cometh! ke dil aashiqana ho janda e." Sukhwinder, who hails from Ambarsar (Amritsar), as he calls it, says the attachment with chole kulche stems from his home city, but eating it anywhere in Punjab gives him the same happy feeling. He often visits Chandigarh and Punjab, but sometimes likes to keep it a private affair. CHANDIGARH LOVE VISUAL ELEMENT Praising Chandigarh for being a blessed city with the Sukhna Lake, hill stations at a few kilometres drive, systematic and planned infrastructure, Sukhwinder expresses his wish to own a small abode in the city. He adds, "Also, I find people in Chandigarh to be good- looking, with great sense of dressing and they are very welcoming too. Ithe aa Sukhwinder confesses how sometimes he likes to have a visual element to get into the mood of a song. He shares, "For the song Dard-E-Disco (Om Shanti Om), I requested Shah Rukh Khan for flowers in the whole studio where we were recording. Similarly, for the song Fashion Ka Jalwa (Fashion), I had requested Madhur Bhandarkar to bring a glamour element to the studio; c m y b if not the main cast, at least the others. It helped me in understanding the essence of the song." MEMORY BANK Sukhwinder recalls wearing a red tie at a live show in Panjab University years ago and how a fan held on to it, before putting forth a weird demand. The other was an impromptu concert for Army personnel near Gujrat border, which went on for two hours. As for his favourite songs, Sukhwinder praises Chaiyya Chaiyya and Jai Ho. He says, "If Jai Ho is a bridge that traversed the distance from traditional to global, then Chaiyya Chaiyya is ibadat because it has everything — dance, singing and melody." (The concert will be held on February 24 at the Sector 34 Exhibition Ground, starting 5:30 pm) King Khan praises K-pop band BTS In a new video, where he announced the digital release of Dunki on OTT, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was seen professing love for K-pop band BTS. Shah Rukh and the streaming giant on Thursday took to Instagram, where they shared an announcement video in a quirky manner. The clip starts with the Badshah of Bollywood entering a visa office for permission; to which, the visa officer says what if he doesn’t come back and what are the assets he owns. SRK then talks about his assets and hilariously says, “Mannat isn’t sea facing, the sea is Mannat facing” He then asks for a visa to visit 190 countries on a single visa. However, the visa officer lets him know that such a visa doesn’t exist but SRK doesn’t take no for an answer. SRK says that he has influenced everyone around the world and how every third person in London is named Raj, courtesy his character from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge! SRK wins over Korean hearts, “It was me who taught South Koreans how to give hearts.” He added,“Love you BTS.” His visa still gets rejected. SRK then talks about his film Dunki streaming in 190 countries on Netfllix. — IANS
