My first major film album Anwar was deeply inspired by Lucknow's culture: Mithoon Sharma
Mithoon Sharma is a name synonymous with soulful Bollywood music . With hit tracks like Tum Hi Ho from , he has become the voice of countless love stories. Recently, the celebrated composer, lyricist, and singer visited the city to receive an award. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now During our conversation, he reflected on his decades-old musical journey, from his first Bollywood film album Anwar , inspired by Lucknow's culture—to his views on the evolving music industry, AI's role in creativity, and how he remains unshaken by the stereotype of being a 'love song' composer. When asked about his connection to Lucknow, a city that has had a profound impact on his career, he reflects, 'The most important connection I have with Lucknow is that my almost first film Anwar was heavily inspired by the culture of Lucknow. The song Maula Mere Maula was inspired by the rhythm and fabric of the city, and that became the heartbeat of the song. When the director briefed me, he told me about the essence of Lucknow's tehzeeb. That song became very popular, and it still plays in my concerts. That gift of Lucknow is something I'll never forget.' With artificial intelligence (AI) taking over most aspects of our lives, including music, Mithoon sees it not as a threat, but as an opportunity. 'A true artist, who understands the discipline of music, can never be threatened by these things. These trends and fads are temporary things, but our history of music is more than 100 years old—it won't get affected.' For him, music is not just about trends or tools but about the emotional connection and the human spirit that it carries. 'We come from a culture where it's believed that when a raga is sung, the weather changes. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now If we undermine the human root of these things, we shouldn't even doubt it. AI should be used to improve art, but it should never replace the human essence and contribution.' Mithoon Sharma Throughout his career, the composer of songs like Phir Bhi Tumko Chaahunga, Sanam Re, Tujhe Kitna Chahne Lage, Woh Lamhe-Woh Baatein, when asked how he maintains his integrity when it comes to commercial music projects, he shares that his approach to music creation in the film industry is rooted in collaboration. 'When we talk about film music, it's a collaboration. There is no place for ego. It's a union of two people, like Raj Kapoor and Shankar-Jaikishan, AR Rahman and Mani Ratnam. I've had such experiences with too, like Zeher and Aashiqui 2. If there is anything in a song that is not acceptable to you, you either convince the other person or get convinced yourself. The decision should always be for the betterment of the song. I don't allow trends or figures in my studio. If a director tells me that a voice or line is not having an essence, I am open to working on it! However, if they want it to be changed for commercial reasons, that's something I stand against.' On the topic of stereotypes and he being dubbed a mostly love-song composer, Mithoon is refreshingly candid. 'I don't really pay much heed to these things. If people associate me with heartbreak songs, I don't mind. In fact, I celebrate it. Music is powerful and it can bring about a revolution, and can work as a cure in relationships. I know of a couple who were getting divorced but later gave their relationship another chance after listening to my song, Kuch Is Tarah. So I don't see it as a stigma, but as something powerful and beautiful.' Finally, when asked if there's a song that deeply connects to his own personal experience, he shares a heartwarming story behind one of his tracks. 'I see stories all around me. An artist can be born from anywhere. There are many songs that I have written looking at the lives of other people, and they were big hits. However, one song that comes to mind is Koi Mujhko Yu Mila Hai. I wrote it after observing a friend's life. When he got married, there was a beautiful thehraav in his life. I drew inspiration from that and wrote the song.' -Amina Ashraf

Arijit Singh will be on Ed Sheeran's next album
In an interview with the UK's commercial radio Heart, Ed Sheeran revealed that he has a collaboration in store with Arijit Singh for his next album. "I worked a lot with this Indian singer, Arijit Singh, who is really good and really wonderful," he said. Elaborating on his experience meeting and working with the playback singer, Ed added, "He basically lives in the middle of nowhere in India. It is like a three-hour flight and five-and-a-half-hour drive. I was in India with my dad. He (Arijit) was like, 'If you want the vocals, you would have to come to me.'" Fans in the comments section were quick to express that they couldn't wait for the collaboration to see the light. "My prayers paid off. I was praying for a collaboration between Arijit and Ed, and it's happening. Let's go! I'm excited now," a user wrote. "Two of the greatest artists are coming together. I'm so fortunate to be a part of this," another said. As per Hindustan Times, Ed visited Arijit while he was in India for The Mathematics Tour in February. The two singers went on a scooter joyride in Arijit's hometown in West Bengal, where they were sighted by local residents. "It was like a pilgrimage with my dad. We travelled for almost an entire day to his (Arijit's) village and then he drove us around on mopeds, around his village. It was a really fun day," Ed said in the interview. In October last year, the English singer's YouTube channel uploaded a video showing the two rehearsing for their September performance at London's O2 Arena. Backstage and onstage, the duo crooned the lyrics to Ed's hit song, Perfect. "Rehearsing Perfect with Arijit Singh," Ed wrote on Instagram, sharing a snippet from the full video. "I heard Tum Hi Ho when I was in India this year and fell in love with him as an artist. Such an honour joining him on stage last month." Fans gushed over the close-knit performance in the comments section, praising Arijit's versatility and requesting Ed to try out Tum Hi Ho. The Shape of You singer has a flair for bonding with Indian singers. In September, he also made an appearance at Diljit Dosanjh's concert during the Birmingham leg of Dil-Luminati Tour. "Returning the favour to my brother, Diljit Dosanjh, tonight in Birmingham. What an amazing atmosphere. Thanks for having me!" Ed wrote on Instagram. The English singer's caption was a callback to his Mumbai concert, where he invited Dosanjh to perform onstage with him, in March last year.
