We now move on to the next category, which is, ‘Best Playback Singer (Male)’ in the Bollywood Hungama Surfers Choice Music Awards 2009.

The janta-janardan has voted for Atif Aslam in full josh and he is not only the winner this year but also the first runner-up!

When Atif was contacted by Bollywood Hungama and asked about how he feels to be voted in as the favorite by the people themselves, he said, “Feels great because I think fans are the real awards and love the aam junta as ever.” On his combination with Pritam, he adds,”I think it has been very successful and working with Pritam is amazing as the music speaks for itself!”

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.”
