Reacted jovial-natured  Anup Jalota,

" What highly impressed me about Aamir-bhai was that instead of a chair, he instantly sat on the stage-'floor' ( sitaraa zameen par ?)  and observed the sanskaar. . Although he is not a regular singer Aamir sang this difficult 'Jog' raag vocal notes so well with total dedication as he perfectly followed Guru Sucheta-jee,. Later Aamir was so happy, when I mentioned to him that I had sung the title-song for his movie  'Isi Ka Naam Zindagi' (1992) and that  the same song was also picturised mainly on me while my co-star was Pran-saab," disclosed Anup Jalota.(Aamir Khan sanskaar)
