Kashmir and Lucky Ali mesmerise each other
Renowned singer Lucky Ali, who enthralled the audience at a concert at Srinagar’s Dal Lake, called Kashmir a “peaceful place”. Ali added that the Kashmiri culture should be promoted.
While talking to ANI, the 59-year-old singer said, “My father said this once that whenever dogs bark on a street, you do not stop your car and simply drive. I did not see anything negative here. Kashmir is a peaceful place and the people are loving.”
“Whatever the circumstances may be, we have to bring change as everything is in our hands as Kashmir is next to paradise,” he added. The singer, who visited the valley after almost 10 years, stated that Kashmir’s culture, handicrafts, talent and food should be promoted.
The concert was organised by the Indian Army on the lawns of Sher-eKashmir International Convention Centre here as part of the Srinagar Youth Festival-2017. Ali is the second Bollywood singer to perform an openair concert in Kashmir in recent times, after Adnan Sami, who performed in Srinagar on October 7.
Adnan Sami’s concert was organised to promote tourism in the state. Governor N N Vohra was the chief guest at the concert.
Lucky Ali gained popularity with songs like “Aa Bhi Ja Aa Bhi Ja” and “Jaane Kya Dhoondta Hai Mera Yeh Dil” in the late 90s. Singing his superhit songs during the concert, Lucky Ali recreated his melodious magic once again leaving the Kashmiris nostalgic.
