ALISHA CHINAI

Singer recalls a chance to sing with Kishore Da

otable musicians such as Shaan, Alisha Chinai, Shalmali Kholgade, Shamir Tandon
and Mame Khan have come together to pay an ode to legendary late Kishore Ku-
Nmar. Alisha Chinai recalled singing with Kishore Da in ‘Mr. India’. The duo had
worked together on ‘Kate Nahin Kat Te’ song. “ I consider myself truly lucky and fortunate
to have had the opportunity to sing with him in the film Mr. India, for the song Kaate Nahin
Kat Te. The first time I sang with him, I was filled with excitement. It was such an inspiring
experience. Watching him perform, witnessing the effortless way he sang it was nothing short
of an epic moment for me. It’s a memory I will never forget,” she shared.

“Kishore Kumar won’t be forgotten. No one can forget him.. When Shamir Ji contacted
me to sing this song, of course, I knew who Kishore Da was. But, I hadn’t heard so many of his
songs. But, when I started listening, I felt, oh my God, this is what I missed out. And that’s when
I understood the purpose behind this project. It’s about giving the current generation a chance
to experience that legendary voice in a way that resonates with them,” Shalmali added.
