Pankaj Udhas - Padma Shri 2006
Ghazal king Pankaj Udhas marks his 25 year singing career with a special commemorative 40-hits album called “JASHN”. “I think I’ve had an interesting journey… after all, my profession started out as a passion,” Pankaj reminisces. When he started off in 1980, ghazal singing had not acquired the status it has today. About his latest album, Pankaj says, “Jashn is a graph of my own life over the last 25 years. I went through many ups and downs, stages of security and insecurity, and it all went into my music”.
