the tragedies of jagjit singh' life

[IamDZJ]

chitra and jagjit singh had two children one of which was a biological son and an adopted daughter. unfortunately both of them passed away. the son died in a car accident and the daughter committed suicide.
so does any one else in here think that their careers are influenced by the death of their children? isn't that very very sad?

As a Singer he is brilliant .. I just love him and will always !!

tum itna jo muskora rahe ho kya ghum hai jisko chupa rahe ho....a lovely ghazal

His sister was my dad's colleague and we lived in the same locality. Her son, Jagjit Singh's nephew was also my Engg. college junior by 2 years. Cant remember his nephew's name but he once organized a college fund-raiser for a classmate who was seriously ill. Jagjit Singh came and sang for 2 hours for free and I guess they had a healthy ticket collection.

And on his singing, though people do like his sad songs more, I like the following song from Sarfrosh the best...

Hoshwalon ko khabar kya...Bekhudi kya cheez hai...

After death of His son He sang "Chitthi na koi sandesh " which is showing his own grief for his son's demise.

Jagjit Singh, Deepak Chopra, John Esposito are Muslims under the veil.

Really? Please elaborate. Seems like you know them personally.
