As soon as I sang it, he said, ‘Disgusting! what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you, Sanu? What's wrong?’. I asked, him, ‘What happened, is there a problem?’ He said, you are singing so disgustingly. You are not in tune. Learn it once’. I gave it another shot”.
“We did the take. He just got up and left the studio. I was standing on the mic. The recordist told me, ‘It's done. Please come’. I kept my headphones, and went outside the recording room. I went home. At 11:00 pm, I got a call from Anu Malik. He said, ‘Bondka’. He calls me Bondka. I asked, ‘Who is this? Anu Malik?’ He said, ‘Yes. You performed exceptionally well today. After seven to eight hours, I got a reaction from him”, he added.
