Why I posted Anandji interview

I enjoyed this interview (see below) because it was actually informational. Anandji gave intelligent answers that had substance unlike a lot of other interviews which are shallow and full of giggles and/or huge egos specially from the new actors....

Anandji's interview was in 2 parts. And they were both really good. Part 2 is coming soon!

There was another interview of Pyaarelal, which was really good too. Couple others that I liked were of Sukhbir Singh (Ishq tera tarpaawe ) and Sukhwinder Singh (dham dham dharam dharaiya re and chal chahiyya chahiyya).

Sukhbir Singh mostly talked about how he is making a come back after getting married and taking a break of 'few years' :). When he was asked how 'Ishq' happened, he said that the song was recorded in half a day and now its just a blur. He wasn't sure how the song became such a BIG hit.

Sukhwinder talked about a LOT of things. I didn't know that he is a runner! He actually dreamed of competing in the Olympics and used to time his runs. And its apparent - you should see him in a tight black t-shirt - grrrreeeat abs :). He also said that the first song he sang on stage at the age of 7 was 'sa re ga ma pa pa pa pa pa pa ga ma re, ga re mere sang mere sajna'. I'm sure this must have been a tough one for a kid!

I am fascinated by lives of popular people and always wonder what they do besides what makes them popular. Interviews can be an eye opener. Even though they are short, they can sometimes also reveal the personality of the speaker. Anandji, for eg, seemed totally humble yet strong-headed - a good combination for someone to be successful. Sukhbir on the other hand, although wore black goggles, scarf and all that but he seemed somewhat not sure about what he was doing. I think that he is not making full use of his talent....
