Ghazal king Jagjit Singh and his favourite songs will share his views and thoughts with etc viewers in Chit Chaat on 5 November at 7.30 pm. The show will be anchored by Indi Pop artiste 'Ricky Martin Ka Chota Bhai' played by Suresh Menon.

Featured in Pop Ki Aandhi for the first half of November, Singh will give humorous comparison of ghazals with rock music and serious explanation of his own art in the show.

Pop Ki Aandhi is a special slot, which is dedicated to the personalities from the music industry. In this slot, etc features one musician or music group every fortnight.

Jagjit Singh has launched his latest album Close To My Heart, which is a compilation of eight old melodies. Regarding the use of old songs, he says, "I have also done remix. The only difference is that I have taken old classic songs and I have chosen different singers. These songs have been with me as I have grown." He has taken the songs that were in mono and lacked body. To make them more appealing, he has changed the music arrangement and added his voice to them.

Although going by the trend he has cut a remix album, but Singh refuses to adapt to the latest style of music video to attract attention. "I sing from my heart. To give it the label of art I refuse to break the song and its spirit," he tells Menon.

etc viewers can see this otherwise sombre artist adapting a tongue-in-cheek attitude to entertain his fans, thus showing off his witty and humorous side.
