On Friday, singer Sudesh Bhosale sang unforgettable compositions of music composer Kalyanji-Anandji at Geeton ka Karwaan, a musical evening dedicated to the magical duo. Held at the Shanmukhananda hall, Padmashree Anandji Bhai was in attendance to take the audience back to some spectacular moments of the duo’s thrilling musical journey, at the event.
Sudesh Bhosale belted out some of Kalyanji-Anandji’s popular numbers like Apni Toh Jaise Taise, Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas, Yaari Hai Imaan Mera, Salaam-E-Ishq Meri Jaan, Rafta Rafta Dekho Aankh Meri Ladi Hai, Khaike Paan, Mere Angange Mein, Jeevan Se Bhari Teri Aakhein, Neend Na Mujhko Aaye et al.

Sudesh Bhosale added, “The best thing about them is that despite being towering personalities and being on the filmy circuit, they have always been very humble. Even today, when I visit Anandji’s place it’s without any formality, I just drop in and he makes me feel at home! Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) used to perform a lot of live shows back in the 90’s and his shows were always conducted by Kalyanji-Anandji’s orchestra.” 

Continues Sudesh Bhosale, “Whenever Amitji used to perform, I used to accompany Kalyanji-Anandji for his shows. That’s how I became close to Amitji because we used to travel a lot together and even go for picnics. I’m elated that Anandji was here today to watch me pay a tribute to him and the late Kalyanji.”
