Talking about it, Sharmin says, “I have grown up watching Sanjay sir make music. The way Sir touches one’s soul with his work is incomparable. I have always been fond of his music since Guzaarish and getting the opportunity to feature in one of his songs ‘Ghalib Hona Hai’ from his original album along with my childhood friend Armaan Malik is truly a blessing and my biggest achievement ever. It was a good experience. Sir gave me my first debut film and now my first music video album too, words fall short to express my gratitude towards him.
Bhansali’s music composition with Armaan’s voice and lyrics penned by AM Turaz captures the true beauty of the ghazal. Ghalib Hona Hai has an excellent touch on music with a modern flavour. Hearing Armaan sing a ghazal with such a unique pairing, Sanjay Leela Bhansali magic happens.
Singer Armaan Malik, who considers Sanjay Leela Bhansali as one of his best teachers, says, “Ghalib Hona Hai is one of Sir’s standout compositions. This is my first experience working with Sanjay sir and I cannot express in words how fortunate I am. This is a new musical discovery for me as well. He is a magician who truly understands the art of filmmaking and music. I am very happy that I am a part of his Ghazal journey and bringing back this genre of music for young music lovers across the country!
Ghalib Hona Hai is a modern take on Ghazals which makes it relevant for today’s youth. The song is now live on Saregama’s YouTube page along with all other songs from ‘Sukoon’, which are streaming on all major apps.
