Maa da Laadla' singer Master Salim, who has drawn comparisons with sufi sensation Kailash Kher, believes that he is "more fresh and original" than the latter.
Although he praised Kher's attempts at songs like, 'Teri Diwani' and 'Allah Ke Bande', Salim says that Kher's has mostly sung the famous works of legends Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and other sufi singers which makes him "repetitive".
"Singing is a tough job. I feel that sometimes Kher fails to touch some specific notes." Salim was in the city to promote his latest album 'Teri Sajni'. Talking about his stint with Bollywood, Salim said he was encouraged by none other than singer-composer Shankar Mahadevan. A self confessed, "God’s favourite child," Salim had a story behind his first step to success in the music industry.
