0:00 Friend, dew burns under my feet, paradise burns under my feet, I search for its traces in the air, on every branch and in every leaf. Let me recite to you one poem of Pir Baba Bulle Shah Saheb. Thaiya Thaiya your love makes me dance Thaiya Thaiya from where Chhayaan Chhayaan was born. So he said in English that witch I said anything, it starts wherever you put your hand. Eidai my friend did not come Eidai my friend did not come ho Rabba khair hove ode dum di hu is he
0:45 Rahman Khan says like chhaya chhaya the boy he is the singer I swear my life was saved Shahrukh did not chew me with such force he did chew me aaja aaja dil chadhe rath ki matki ki bhade someone take out the piggy bank today break the piggy bank friends my name is Sukhwinder Singh, your own Sukhwinder Singh and you are listening and watching me in the demolition program sare ishq ki chhaav chal chhaya chhaya sare ishq ki ch chal chhaya A R Rahman, I have taken up a new name, as we often say that is my God Father and that is to show respect. God Father, we consider those who
1:31 give you the first opportunity to present your art to the world. I have named Rehman God Friend. He is my God friend. So when I met Rehman Sahab, it was such a funny incident. That day he was recording a song from Govindlani's film Takshak, for which Govindlani needed poetry in Punjabi. For that, there was some very good and excellent person from Punjab whose name I did not know but I was eagerly waiting for him. Maybe he missed his flight so there was a recording that day. The day I met Rehman, his profile was up, he was a writer, his photograph was also there in his profile, his manager went and said that a boy has come, he has sent it through his reference, so he
2:18 is from Punjab, seeing me he said where are you, so I said I used to tie it regularly in my childhood but I still tie it, then I thought why are you talking about turban, about turban, now they speak Punjabi, Govindji, Govindlani ji says you should write the song, I said I am talking about writing this, I said I am really very much passionate about poetry but I am not the writer. So then what do you do? I said, I do singing. can you write something? I said, I will write it. When he explained the situation, Takshak movie's Tabu, Ajay Devgan went inside the studio and told AR Rahman that he is right so well. So Rehman said, okay, then he explained that it is such an emotional thing, such an emotional situation, he has
3:05 written this very beautifully. Then Rahman comes out, I have an album called Vande Mataram, do I need a song for it, so I said, I will sing a poem by Peer Baba Bulleh Shah sahab, Thaiya Thaiya, tere ishq nachaaya kar Thaiya Thaiya, from where Chhaya Chhaya was born, Chal Chhaya Chhaya Chhaya Chhaya, Ishq dera in me, I drink the cup of love, fill the Geeta with me, Aaja Sajna, Aaja Sajna Nahi Te, I am dead, you? He said to me, Rahman says, what exactly is the meaning of this entire thing, I said, Rahman, one thing, expression is the best language to understand each other, I say, I can understand well, I agree, can I sing this, the lines, he looks at me or you sing also, I said that's why I am so singing,
3:54 so he said, which Ardh should I give, which Sur should I give, he said in English, I said, I will say anything, wherever he puts his hand, it starts even today, whenever I meet him, he is happy, I am happy, Said anyone's any tune from there then I started Idai mera yaar nahi aaya Idai mera yaar nahi aaya ho Rabba khair hove dum di ho tere ishq na jaaya kar dhaiya dhaiya dhaiya thaiya thaiya thaiya dhaiya Ishq dera mere andar
4:40 kita bhar ke prem paayala peeta aaja saajna aaja saajna no te I am not te I am dead thaiya thaiya thaiya thaiya thaiya thaiya thaiya from here it became chhaya chhaya chhaya later and he looked at me that you said well very correctly you have said it that expression and emotion is is the best language to understand. He said let's record this. This song was recorded in the first meeting itself. This is the Punjabi version. Sukhwinder Sir a small game Sound Detective before the song breakdown. Here 's the Galaxy BDS 3 Pro connected vs the S25 Ultra. Hi audio and active noise cancellation is on. Now just listen carefully and
5:25 tell me which instruments are being played. Let's see how many you can catch and how crisp the sound of BD 3 Pro is. It's very interesting friend. There is a tabla in the rhythm. This is called big mouth tabla. And the melody above is santoor. Then run it again. It 's just Veena. [MUSIC] Saxophone. This is called tenor sex. But this is not a saxophone. This is tenor sex. Tenor saxophone and accompaniment of a pop drum. This is called blues. Pattern also said blues tenor sex this tenor remains different. How did you like the sound quality of Samsung Galaxy BD 3 Pro? Very good. I will look for his traces in the air. Will you
6:12 sing random? I said what does it mean? Random means that I will give you a music loop. Don't get any kind of instructions from us. So Gulzar saheb kept correcting some words and 20 words were done in 202 minutes. Random means friends that there is a technique which is mostly started by A R Rahman. He has started this very wonderful thing which will make you feel good according to the song. So, after watching the music of that part, he puts it on a loop. There was so much dance in that beat that the person on whom I had to sing was hammering it again and again. That beat made me lose it. He liked my voice texture. He wanted that whatever Varsity does,
6:59 only he was provoking me and he was giving me the guidance because he himself is a very good singer also. So, he asked me to sing some high notes. Friend, like an example, paradise burns like the fire of the feet. This was his idea. So no, in between because he was the music director and the way he was looking at me, there was yes and no. It used to do that. Yes. Then my face would go down a little bit and I would know no. But his suggestion was absolutely there in the song. That is completely AR Rahman song. And there were many infeasible suggestions which worked practically in the matter. Mera Nagma Nagma Mera Kalma Kalma Mera
7:45 Nagma Nagma Mera Kalma Mera Nagma Nagma Mera Kalma Kalma, then different lines, he is singing the same line four to five times, and making others sing it, in between, when the song became a major hit, the movie became a hit, everything was done, then we had to release the music, at that time I was not interested in watching movies, I told Rahman, I said friend, this boy is very charming and I feel that he is a star, they say he is Shahrukh Khan, I said, yes, I have heard the name? So, I found a different god whose name was Shahrukh Khan. So Rahman told Shahrukh to look at him. So he thought that there must be an assistant with him. Who is he Rehman said, this is Chhaiyan Chhaiyan boy. He is the singer. I swear my life will be saved.
8:31 Shahrukh did not chew me as hard as he did. I chewed it up. He squeezed me. Do not add sugarcane. In the middle, I extracted the juice from the machine. All the glimpses of love. When we climb a mountain, we have to walk slowly. That's why we reach our destination. If you climb running you will lose half. You will not be able to climb. The intensity of patience is such that it does not require any force, Babu. Just now suddenly my friend's eyes lit up with joy. The feet were burnt, paradise was burnt. Sometimes on every branch and sometimes in every leaf. I'll look for his traces in the air. So this strength and force was not used. This is intensity, this is love, this is romance. I am in love. It is not shouting, it is singing. Appeal to you, if there is any requirement for a
9:16 high voice then it should touch the hearts of your people. It did n't sting. It will hurt when the person singing in high pitch is stubborn and has competition, which is not required. So for this, love is needed, romance is needed. Then come again the song comes out, if main shayar badnaam o main chala main chala, mera salaam to everyone, now this is the other aspect of emotions, now what happened in this, so there is a requirement of high note
10:04 which mostly comes in Sufi Kalam. This song is from Sufi Kalam isn't it [Music] Gulpash kabhi itaraaye kabhi mahke to nazar aa jaaye somewhere I should make an amulet and wear it if I get it like a verse so the pronunciation of y and da of the Hindustani language Urdu has been corrected by Guldar sahab and it should have been corrected and the way he has done it, there was a lot of love in it, that improvisation, do it separately on stage in between because otherwise it will end up being a copy- paste. Brother, only the one who has the money can do it. Otherwise that improvisation sometimes seems like a spectacle. This is a musical term that means movements or variations. Mera Nagma Nagma Mera Kalma Kalma Mera Nagma Nagma Mera Kalma Mera Nagma Nagma Mera Kalma Kalma Mera Nagma Nagma Mera Kalma Mera Nagma Nagma Mera Kalma Mera Nagma Nagma Mera Kalma Mera Nagma Nagma Mera Kalma So,
11:11 when you want fun and natural form in it, at that time when you start hearing it yourself, suddenly you feel that I am also sitting in that far away audience, this is called becoming a mad man, at that time you got the glimpse of the Darvesh, you got Chhaya Chhaya Chhaya, tears came in the eyes of the guest and he was saying what a voice, from here that God friend introduced me to the world. Even today I am singing songs and doing stage performances. Whatever I am is because of AR Rahman, in simple words,
11:59 that Thaiya Thaiya Thaiya Thaiya kar Thaiya Thaiya Thaiya came back, Chhaya Chhaya Chhaya Chhaya Chha, it was some Punjabi version but he took the fragrance of that Punjabi version, but he made me sing randomly, in between he was also giving me advice, which happened in 20-22 minutes only, it was the fastest till date, but it was amazing, friend. What he made, then later Farah Khan made the toy train and then Shah Rukh Khan and then Malaika Arora then oh ho ho then Sukhwinder Singh and then I, we stopped partying because this would be the party. Sukhwinder sir a fan is excited to talk to you. And with the crystal clear calls on the Samsung
12:45 Galaxy Bs 3 Pro? The conversation will be seamless. Hello dear fan sir. How are you? I am perfectly fine.
