Rekha Bhardwaj Says Jagjit Singh 'Never Said Anything Negative' About Her
There's a reason why Rekha Bhardwaj enjoys a massive fan following. Her distinct voice, stage presence, calm demeanour, and grace are major crowd-pullers. The singer, known for chartbusters such as Namak, Iktara, Aise Kyun, and others, once had an interaction with Jagjit Singh that made her 'feel small". Well, not as a human but as a performer, which further propelled her to work on herself and achieve mastery at her craft. Speaking exclusively to News18 Showsha, Rekha Bhardwaj bared her heart out and recalled that one conversation with the late ghazal singer that changed her life. The celebrated singer reflected on a pivotal moment early in her musical journey — a moment that was shaped by none other than the late ghazal maestro, Jagjit Singh. She recalled how a seemingly harsh comment from Jagjit Singh, where he had said that the 'chamak in her voice is missing" (the spark in her voice), shook her deeply, but eventually became the catalyst for her transformation as an singer.
