What Anu Malik said

During those days, to get time from such a big legend was a blessing and thankfully, I received that time from him. On the day of recording, I had called him to make remind him about the same. Later, when I was walking past his house in Juhu I found a lot of people gathered, which left me shocked and I walked home and informed my wife, ‘I think that the legendary Kishore Kumarji is no more with us.’”
What Amit Kumar said
Effusing praise on Pawandeep’s performance while gifting the young singer his father’s watch, Amit Kumar said, “Your current performance was the distinguishing factor between a great singer and a remarkable singer. You have touched my heart when you sang the song, Kora Kagaz. It reminded me of the sounds of the pahadi effect in your voice. I am so impressed by you that today, I’d like to gift you a watch that was given to me by my father, the legendary Kishore Kumarji when my good time in my career had begun.”
