‘Chak De! India taught me to never give up’

SALIM MERCHANT

My experience with my gurus, Ustad Sultan Khan saab and Ustad Zakir Hussain, has been phenomenal. Besides music, I’ve learnt to be a certain kind of human being from them, that is priceless. Also, doing the music for Chak De! India (2007) was also a learning experience. It taught me to face challenges and never give up.
