The episode was full of melody, food, stories, and charcha over coffee. The singer is a true Delhite. He abides by the words, “Mera ghar, mera pata, meri shaan, Delhi meri jaan.” In conversation with Kamiya Jani, our Editor-in-chief, he shares how people in the capital are portrayed wrongly because of the crimes.

To him, the people of this city are there in your good times and the bad times.

But I don’t like to stay away from my home, and that is Delhi.” He used to live in Railway colony on Panchkuian road near CP. His relationship with Delhi is strong as he lived the best moments of his life here; right from schooling to studying medicine to marriage.
