Dear Folks,
I'm a silent member of this group. Of late while searching
on Ustad Bismillah Khan on net I found an interesting info in several
webpages which sounds sumthing like this......."Bismillah Khan also
played for a few other films, including Satyajit Ray's Jalsaghar
(1958), which had music by Ustad Vilayat Khan, and more recently,
Ashutosh Gowarikar's Swades". But, as the In-Lay card suggests the
Shehnai in Swades was played by Madhu.
Also, in an interview after Ustad jee died ARR sir mentioned
that...."he was a pucca muslim, I had the opportunity of spending a
whole day with him although we had encountered over some issues".
Can anybody put some light on it?
Rgds
