Farooq adds another feather to his cap
Farooq Shaikh likes to live life on his own terms and enjoys what he’s doing.

Talking about Anita Singhvi, with whom he���s performing this evening, he says, ���She is among the slightly threatened species of good singers, specially those who sing the ghazal in its purest form.��� And he���s happy that audiences today are slowly, but surely, recognising good ghazal singers.
���About a year ago, I remember an event where Ghalib���s letters were being read out. When told that the audience comprised mainly bankers, I was a bit apprehensive, wondering whether they���d walk out or go to sleep. But, they were so appreciative of Urdu poetry. Likewise, with good ghazals ��� I���ve seen that if you provide quality music to your audience, they just can���t get enough of it,��� he adds.
So, has Urdu as a language caught the attention of the youth too? Says Farooq, ���Take Mughal-e-Azam ��� it���s a class apart in Urdu language and has been enjoyed by every generation over the years.���
