Actor Reveals ‘Aahista Aahista’ as His Top Jagjit Singh Song

Mumbai, August 26 – In a candid moment on the set of “Kaun Banega Crorepati” season 18, Amitabh Bachchan disclosed the ghazal that resonates most with him.

When contestant Anuj Bhatnagar shared his habit of listening to ghazals for relaxation, he prompted the host to name his favorite Jagjit Singh track.

Bachchan said that while he enjoys a broad repertoire of ghazals, Jagjit’s “Aahista Aahista” captures his heart with its delicate melody and lyrical depth.

He reflected on the artistic exchanges he and his late father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, enjoyed with Jagjit, highlighting how a poet’s line often contains a concealed note that guides the singer’s rendition.

The discussion ended with Bachchan applauding Jagjit Singh’s ability to render poetry in a straightforward, emotionally charged manner that broadened the appeal of ghazals to a mass audience.
