Art should be free from Boundaries

A toy piano has played a crucial role in Aao Wish Karein’s composer-lyricist Xulfi’s life. It was his mastery over that toy piano that made his brothers gift him a bigger keyboard. And Xulfi, a self-taught musician and the ex-lead guitarist of the first Pakistani mainstream rock band Entity Paradigm, made the most of it.

Xulfi broke into Bollywood with ‘Laaree Chootee’ from Ek Chalis Ki Last Local, and has composed music for four Bollywood movies since. The founder of the band Call, and a rebel at heart, Xulfi is excited about releasing Call’s album Dhoom, working in Bollywood and wishing for a collaboration with Linkin Park.

Catching up with Amanat Ali Khan

By Maliha Rehman

“I love Shah Rukh Khan. I would love to sing for him some day. While I was a contestant in Zee TV’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa,
Shah Rukh Khan once came as a judge and he told me, ‘The world is my fan but I am your
fan.’ Hearing that was such an honor. I think that is the best compliment I have ever received.”
- Amanat Ali Khan
When I call up Amanat Ali Khan for an interview, Shafqat Amanat Ali’s ‘Khairiyaan De Naal’ plays as his ring tone. I mention this to him later and he enthuses, “I love that song. Shafqat Amanat Ali is one of my favorite singers.”
In the course of our interview, I discover that Amanat Ali is just as exuberant about all his favourites. His favourite singers also include Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Atif Aslam and Sajjad Ali while his favorite actor on any given day is Shah Rukh Khan. “I love Shah Rukh Khan,” he asserts. “I would love to sing for him some day. While I was a contestant in Zee TV’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, Shah Rukh Khan once came as a judge and he told me, ‘The world is my fan but I am your fan.’ Hearing that was such an honor. I think that is the bestcompliment I have ever received.”

Her statuesque form, chiselled looks and commanding personality add that rare oomph and profound aura onto any medium she sets foot on. As a model she has graced many a ramp and lent her striking presence to numerous shoots. At social events she stands out by her eclectic sense of style, teaming the most diverse of hues, such as a sunshine yellow jacket with a grey top and jeans, to lend an imitable style that only she can pull off. Her unique individual style has also landed her onto the momentous amalgam of fashion with retail under the ‘HSYStoneage’ brand’s bandwagon where not only does she represent the brand but will soon also be lending her personal flair for fashion by designing for them.
