You you know when they recognize your work or recognition it’s something totally different I must say thank you of course to my amazing amazing parents fantastic values the MD I’m a complete G and U we have simple living and high thinking like Gandhi g said so it’s very important for me and
Uh first thing was to say thank you to my parents and thank you to God and thank you to my country or inspiration you know saur sorry family my my son my daughter every my grandchildren they’re all so excited my brothers and sisters they’re all so excited about it and U I
Think the excitement is shria if I was very Mah in that and you know complete Bollywood singer it would have been you know you you get an award for that L I’m a middle of the road I’ve been singing in a nightclub I do live performances to sing in Bollywood film in’s project
Krishna you know the excitement is so great my country my sarar my people my audiences my musicians everybody has recognized my work and I’m really really grateful grateful is the right word grateful and humbled that is important 54 years and how did it happened because it’s been a slow
Rise to don’t worry my my only what can I say message to all of you have Atma vishwas okay don’t forget that don’t forget that your work will talk for you it will talk it will bring bring out results be 100% honest in whatever work you’re
Doing if you are in my fraternity of music if you are 100% 100% honest on stage a it will happen it must happen and everything will work out right it’s like a breaking a stereotype from Club singing to uh Padma Shri and I think my is
Now and I think that’s what is so beautiful and it’s really been fantastic yeah or I feel really happy to say that it was written on on me a biography byri Kumar and that to it was written in Hindi to what more can you accept as a turnaround than for a nightclub singer
To be written in Hindi and the name of the book is ulasi now and so I’m so excited about that okay it became a big hit I mean you know besides that there was a translation done by sish Ja in English and it’s called the queen of
Indian pop so what can I say the turnaround actually I would say would probably be that a nightclub singer singing jazz pop rock Hindi Bengali 17 Indian languages eight foreign languages gets written in Hindi yes and so for me that was really fantastic a very optimistic person and a very positive
Thinker I think this would also be an inspiration for the youngsters you know you lose so much energy when you are negative negativity and use the same energy to be positive and your results will be much better really ma’am this is a civilian award and as a civilian
Cities I think you know it’s very easy for everybody to have debates and you know love to watch them India you know there is nothing like this in the world when youav you go to Germany you just need to say or or you go to Kenya in Africa they
Say Jambo for hello and it’s understood by the whole country to say hello or namaste in one place namashkar in one place so many different languages or diversity my God cooking medium everywhere it’s different everywhere in India but still we are so United so let us stay United let us stay secular and
Let us stay just who we are and believe in who we are change as Gandhi g said be the change you want to see the though don’t I feel I would say stop the blame game for everything you’re blaming somebody else how about us responsility
You find too much Gand on the road stop throwing things on the road it becomes really big then the contribution becomes much bigger and I don’t think if the there’s no water in your toilet or in the kitchen don’t blame the government for it why do you want your government to do everything
Why can’t we do something for ourselves we all want progress and I think India is well on the way to progress singan sing like padmashri padmabhushan padmashri padm they all you know singers you see so that’s okay but I I had I have to say I I don’t know who
Can replace me but I really want to say one thing my NE he asked Me how do you want to be remembered you know it was such a amazing question how do you want to be remembered and man is SOA for two seconds and I think the only way I want to be remembered is that I brought a smile on your face and some happiness
Into some people’s life and I think if we all work towards making one person happier or two people or a whole state happier I think this world will be much better place to live in didn’t we learn has ruined our lives but covid has taught me how to believe in the fact
That the whole world is suffering from the same things and the whole world can be better by the same things m why so much time to fight and do Jag when there’s so little time to love huh to I say in many ways I say Thank You country thank you my
Government thank you my people because I’m 100% people singer I would say let’s finish off with it and really let’s believe in spreading love and peace and Brotherhood of Man so I say those Shan say
