Jagjit Singh, earlier this week, criticized AR Rahman for not using Ghazals in his films, saying, "What does AR Rahman know about Ghazals?"
The noted singer has now said that he doesn't, in any way, want to criticize Rahman's music. In an interview with a local newspaper, he said, "Actually, what I meant was Rahman, being an innovative award-winning composer who connects with today's Gen-Next, should also include ghazals written by stalwarts like Gulzar in his film repertoire.
He also feels that Rahman has, of late, been restricting himself to certain genres. "Of late, he has been confining himself to jazzy and folksy-fusion Indipop. Since he is versatile enough, he should be able to come up with fabulous ghazals and popularize them.”
