It was an immense pleasure to hear you at the 4th edition of Udaipur Tales-the International Storytelling Festival. Had it not been for you, it would not have been so beautiful. Thank you for your graceful participation. Sushmita Singha, Co-Founder, Udaipur Tales
A novel experience…the show not only revealed the poetic genius of Sahir saheb but brought his deep-seated humanity that also manifested in his famous lyrics. Jai Singh, Maharaja of Dungarpur
Great, amazing program, well-managed, well-arranged. Such programs should be organised worldwide. Dr. Prabhu Pareek, Dy. Secretary, Govt. of Rajasthan
Most wonderful event. Considering it was conducted for the first time not in a hall but in an open environment, the fact that I did not see a single person going out in the middle, is a testimony to the fact how much the audience was spell bound (mantramugdh). Vivek C. Pande, New Delhi
One of the best programmes we have attended in our life. C.S.R. (and Sushma) Mehta
The show was really wonderful. Moreover, the way it was presented was also awesome. Deepal Singh Kalra, Vice President, Chandra Group
The programme was very well designed and all efforts were made to cover his life story in short while maximum possible hit songs were performed. A memorable evening. Surendra Kumar Khandelwal, Kolkata
