It will present an enthralling concert in London by Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik, who are known as the king and queen of melody. The singing sensations were at the Magna Lounge in Mumbai recently to unveil the concert’s logo and address the media about the upcoming show. Joining them on the dais were Nari Hari, Chairman, Magna Publishing Co Ltd, and the host for the event, Rajeev Paul. It is the first time the duo is collaborating with Stardust for a live concert and they promise to create magic on stage on 22nd November, 2014, at the Apollo Theatre in London. When asked about the rapport they share with each other, Alka replied, “The bonding that we share is that of mutual understanding, both on-stage as well as off-stage. We also quarrel sometimes as there are situations where we don’t agree with each other’s opinions. But at the end of the day, we forget all our differences.”
They were asked their views on the music of today and they both said they did not approve of the current trends. Be it Yo Yo Honey Singh or Himesh Reshammiya, they fail to understand why their music and lyrics are popular and hope it’s just a phase. Alka was asked if she ever received offers to act, to which she said, “Yes, I used to get a lot of offers, but I was focussed on my singing career. You need to be really passionate about being an actor and I was not.”
Kumar and Alka have given a number of hits in the ’90s and they obliged the crowd at the Magna Lounge by singing a few lines of Mein toh raste se jar raha tha and Maine socha na tha to much applause.
