How did you get into Presenting?
I Performed on stage as a solo singer and performer. I also had my own musical group then, as I can play a few instruments like the Accordion, Guitar, Synthesizer, etc. I was later approached to Produce and Broadcast a weekly Programme For Hospital radio. This happened about 30 years ago. Then in May 1996 Radio XL came on the scene and I was approached to do one slot for the listeners, as I have a good knowledge of old Music and A Great Collection of old Music. I started Bhooli Bisri Yaadein as an experiment for four weeks, and thought if people didn't like it, the format could be changed. After only two weeks of the show going on air, I had such a great response from my Listeners, that I was left astounded and flabbergasted. Since then my Show is the only Show, which plays only Old Music, and I am flattered that I have a very large audience.
   
What do you treasure most in life? My Music and my family!    
Anything else interesting about yourself?
I love sports and I used to play Football. Hockey and Basket Ball. I am also a good Snooker Player.
   
What's been the highlight of your career so far?

From past, present and future who do you want to meet?
