Abhi Mujh Mein Kahin singer posted, “Incidentally one of the most respected singers and musicians of all times, and my personal favourite Sajjad Ali bhai was there too with his son and it was so sweet of him to wait till I arrive so we may meet for the first time in our lives.”

He further wrote, “And then we chatted for an hour and a half. Sharing some memorable pictures of that beautiful evening. For people who don’t know, his Katna Nai is one of my family’s most favourite songs and so was covered by my exceptionally talented sister Teesha Nigam,” the music composer added.

However, Sonu Nigam also revealed how he had reached out to Sajjad Ali and was overwhelmed by his response.

“I wanted to go about it absolutely respectfully and thus I called Sajjad bhai to seek his permission for the same. It was very very gracious of him to not just give us the permission for the same but not even charge for it! That’s called true graciousness,” he exclaimed.

Incidentally one of the most respected singers and musicians of all times, and my personal favourite @thesajjadali bhai was there too with his son and it was so sweet of him to wait till I arrive so we may meet for the first time in our lives. And then we chatted for an hour and a half. Sharing some memorable pictures of that beautiful evening. For people who don’t know, his ‘Katna nai’ is one of my family’s most favourite songs and so was covered by my exceptionally talented sister @teeshanigam .But before that, I wanted to go about it absolutely respectfully and thus I called Sajjad bhai to seek his permission for the same. It was very very gracious of him to not just give us the permission for the same but not even charge for it! That’s called true graciousness.
