The Anu Malik Chat

harry (Wed Jan 22 21:05:31 1997 IST):

ANU, CAN YOU SAY SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR MUSIC COMPOSITION FOR PREM AGGAN. I'VE HEARD THAT THE SONGS ARE MIXED IN THE STUDIOS IN LONDON.

chor (Wed Jan 22 21:06:07 1997 IST):

ANU, why are you always in funny clothes? do you think you are always in a fancy dress competition or what???

Altaf (Wed Jan 22 21:06:20 1997 IST):

Got it Anu baby! Your a loser! A copycat to be exact. And how in the this world of stupidity have you composed that song which has a hundred I LOVE YOU's in it all one after the other. that for once must be your own work because others don't do this kind of sheepish work. You get it!

SNAP (Wed Jan 22 21:06:43 1997 IST):

Anu.. are you irritated with the chat? you sound snappy.. i listened to your album 'Eyes' and the best song l liked was " I have no pounds, I have no dollars" any of such music in your next album?

Inspiration. (Wed Jan 22 21:06:49 1997 IST):

Anu, tell us about your daughter. I've read some interviews where you say she is your source of inspiration for some of your songs.

Anu Malik (Wed Jan 22 21:06:59 1997 IST):

Altaf: To be very honest you'll go bonkers over my new video Baarish from my album I Yai Yo.........Tera Chera was definitely good but this is pure magic , check out my singing you'll love it.

Lois Lane: Thanks for the compliment it takes normally 1 hour to one day to one month to make a new song it depends on the situation my mood and a lot of other factors .

Pakele Hum; Thakele Tum (Wed Jan 22 21:07:00 1997 IST):

Arre ANU BHAI kayiko garam hota hai. U just can't come in my dreams because if you do it will be a nightmare.

TU CHOR HAIN (Wed Jan 22 21:07:32 1997 IST):

anuji, ham sab ki farmayish, aap gaayak nahin, CHORGAYAK hain

Julie (Wed Jan 22 21:07:58 1997 IST):

ANU: I consider myself to have a very good voice in singing. I have sung at many public events and everyone who has heard me has really complimented me. My goal is to one day become a Bollywood singer. I am only 20 years old, live in the USA, but really dream to sing in Bollywood. Can you tell me - how can I make my way in? Who should I contact, what should I do? Can I contact you directly or is there someone else I should go to? Give me some help - please.

Altaf (Wed Jan 22 21:09:01 1997 IST):

Yo Anu! Don't you have anything to say! OR are you figuring out where the keys on the keyboard are?

Lois.Lane (Wed Jan 22 21:09:07 1997 IST):

ANU >>NO Problem...but now answer my other question i posed to u...

Pretty Woman (Wed Jan 22 21:11:07 1997 IST):

What do all these people know? I think you're irresistable - talentwise and otherwise.

Anu Malik (Wed Jan 22 21:11:30 1997 IST):

Snap: I'm not snappy but very excited and happy to be on the chat show it gives me a chance to be my real self so if you think I'm snapy actually I'm very happy.

Inspiration: I have two daughters Anmol and Ada they are definitey my inspirations Anmol has taken to music like me she actually can tell a good tune from a bad one , my conviction in my album I Yai Yo that it will be a hit stems from the fact that when my daughetr heard the album for the first time she said daddy this album really works.

Julie (Wed Jan 22 21:11:45 1997 IST):

Inspiration. (Wed Jan 22 21:12:04 1997 IST):

Pakele Hum; Thakele Tum (Wed Jan 22 21:13:14 1997 IST):

HERO... (Wed Jan 22 21:13:17 1997 IST):

Pakele Hum; Thakele Tum (Wed Jan 22 21:16:44 1997 IST):

Julie, bhaag. Teeri Izzat ka sawaal hai.

Inspiration. (Wed Jan 22 21:16:53 1997 IST):

Isn't your brother trying to make his mark on the pop music scene? He even tried his hand as an actor, if I'm not mistaken. How is he faring now?

Alisha (Wed Jan 22 21:17:27 1997 IST):

Remember that time when you wouldn't get on a bus because I was on it?! Yeah well I would be scared too after everything you've done!

Anu Malik. (Wed Jan 22 21:17:32 1997 IST):

Pretty Woman: Its people like you who keep on inspiring me and I'm sure you are the Lady in Red who keeps on coming in my dreams and you have inspired me to make a song like Baarish in my new album I yai Yo check out the video on the 27th 9 pm on ATN your opinion about me talent and otherwise will be further strenthened

ME (Wed Jan 22 21:20:07 1997 IST):

Hey Anu! 9 pm on ATN? Is that India time?

Anu Malik. (Wed Jan 22 21:20:26 1997 IST):

Dear Julie: If you are good no one can stop you from realising your dream anyway the struggle is definitely there meet audio companies send them your demo and wait for the call . Remember no one today in their right minds would pass off talent . Happy Hunting.

Pakele Hum; Thakele Tum (You're a cheap man, Anu! So are you gonna reply to me or are yo IST):

anand (Wed Jan 22 21:21:02 1997 IST):

Hi Anu Malik, How are you doing.What's latest music you have been inspired by and how do you plan to mould into bollywood tradition

Lois.Lane (Wed Jan 22 21:21:07 1997 IST):

I do beg your pardon..i meant fiasco regarding Udit Narayan...and not An MAlik..in my last statement...

Julie (Wed Jan 22 21:22:12 1997 IST):

Oh Anu. Thanks so much for finally responding! I will definitely take your advice and send samples to the audio companies. Once again, thank you so much. If I ever make it, I will publicly thank you as the first person who helped me out.

Inspiration. (Wed Jan 22 21:22:38 1997 IST):

Anu, maybe you missed by question - what is it that scares you from creating beautiful, original timeless music. I believe you have the talent. And, by now, I'm sure that even if your music does not click today, you must have earned enough to see you through.

ME (Wed Jan 22 21:22:42 1997 IST):

Anu, Reply quickly. I've a class to catch

Anu Malik. (Wed Jan 22 21:23:13 1997 IST):

Pakele Tum Thekele Tum: Atlast the name I Yai Yo is on your lips I have succeded . Thanks for the chat show. <> Pretty Woman: My video will soon be on MTV . Check it out.

ufox (Wed Jan 22 21:23:57 1997 IST):

You have problems answering...it would appear. WHY HAVEN'T YOU ANSWERED ANY OF MY QUESTIONS?

HERO... (Wed Jan 22 21:24:00 1997 IST):

ANU WHAT IS IT LIKE TO WORK WITH THE GREATS OF THE INDIAN MUSIC INDUSTRY ...ofcouse including yourself ..??

Alisha (Wed Jan 22 21:24:01 1997 IST):

How's your wife doing Anu? Were you finally able to convince her that we weren't together?!

ME (Wed Jan 22 21:24:01 1997 IST):

Anu: Raja ko Rani se... was good. Where did you copy it from?

Pakele Hum; Thakele Tum (Wed Jan 22 21:24:42 1997 IST):

ANU bhai JULIE not afraid of casting couch ;-) . Now I think it's your izzat ka sawaal. I YAI YO. Now what will you do?

chor (Wed Jan 22 21:24:46 1997 IST):

ANU bhai, aap to apne mou miaa mithho ho rahe ho... Jara apne izzat aur duniya ka kuch khyal karo!!!

Alisha (Wed Jan 22 21:25:12 1997 IST):

And why don't we talk about the charges that Sharon Prabhakar pressed on you, huh darling?

Inspiration. (Wed Jan 22 21:25:16 1997 IST):

Isn't your brother trying to make his mark on the pop music scene? He even tried his hand as an actor, if I'm not mistaken. How is he faring now?

ufox (Wed Jan 22 21:25:22 1997 IST):

Hey! Don't say you're split-ting now?

Rajen Mehta (Wed Jan 22 21:25:34 1997 IST):

Hello Anu, I like some of your music, like Raja ko Rani se, Baazigar, Paas woh aane lage zarra zarra, Dil mein Sanam ki surat etc, But I am a big fan of RD, SD and AR Rahman. My question is which songs of Hindi Gentleman were similar to AR's Tamil version and which part of the songs were similar. I am not accusing you, I am just curious, since I don't know Tamil I don't know what the music of Tamil Gentleman sounded like. Please satisfy my curiousity. Thanks

ME (Wed Jan 22 21:26:03 1997 IST):

Anu, Now I'm going! YOu didn't reply. Thanks a lot. How does it feel to be criticized and blasted ONline?

Alisha (Wed Jan 22 21:27:13 1997 IST):

EVERYBODY: What say Anu is a cheap guy. Notice how he responds only to questions where he can publicise himself? And really, who likes his voice? He used to force us in the studios that his voice will go into the tapes, whether it's just for background effects or as a male vocal. And he can't get the point - the public doesn't like his voice. If he was a real man, he would respond to the challenging questions!

ufox (Wed Jan 22 21:28:12 1997 IST):

You seem to be using this time to sing only

I

- tunes....how about a new line,thambi?

Inspiration. (Wed Jan 22 21:28:38 1997 IST):

Alisha (Wed Jan 22 21:28:42 1997 IST):

I think it might be time to leave, Anu... you've had your share of lambasting for today!

Anu Malik. (Wed Jan 22 21:29:08 1997 IST):

Inspiration: My brother is definitely a very good actor and is now trying his hand at Indi-pop I definitely agree that he's got the talent and may lady luck smile on him too. As far as I'm concerned I'm at the moment full of I Yai Yo.

harry (Wed Jan 22 21:29:29 1997 IST):

ANU, PLEASE SAY SOMETHING ABOUT PREM AGGAN COMPOSITIONS. DO YOU HAVE ANY SHOWS ABROAD FOR THIS YEAR? PLEASE REPLY.

Alisha (Wed Jan 22 21:30:06 1997 IST):

I hope you haven't forgotten the JAADU days! I certainly haven't! And I won't let the courts forget either!

ufox (Wed Jan 22 21:30:09 1997 IST):

Notice how you are singing only I-tunes? I-I-I-I- YO!

Pakele Hum; Thakele Tum (Wed Jan 22 21:30:11 1997 IST):

I YAI YO

Here's hoping my repeating the nonsense will make people irritated enough to dump the album

Lois.Lane (Wed Jan 22 21:31:46 1997 IST):

ANU I AM WAITING FOR U TO ANSWER MY QUESTION!!!!

Anu Malik. (Wed Jan 22 21:32:04 1997 IST):

HERO: Working with greats like Lata MANGESHKAR , Asha Bhonsale , Kishore Kumar and now Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan has been a very learning and humbling experinece as far as my greatness is concerned I've got a long way to go .

Pakele Hum; Thakele Tum (Wed Jan 22 21:32:20 1997 IST):

I YAI YO

Haaaaaa, haaaaah, hah.

harry (Wed Jan 22 21:32:34 1997 IST):
