'90 per cent of my career is his voice'Sudesh Bhosle I met Amitji in 1989, when I sang for Ajooba, directed by Shashi Kapoor and composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. He happened to ask Shashiji who I was. So Shashiji called me to Film City. That was where I was introduced to Amitji. WE met quite often since in studios since. And then I sang Kalyanji-Anandji's Jumma chumma, in the film, Hum. Amitji told me that the song would be a hit, before I even sang it. I did not realise it then. That my voice matches a superstar's, that I have had the prestige and honour to sing for a lot of his songs is a great feeling. WHAT's more, he appreciates it. In fact, Jayaji did not believe that I sang for Jumma Chumma -- she thought Amitji had sung it! Amitji appreciates my songs. That is why I can sing for him. He always wants me to be there during his shows. I was with the Melody Makers Orchestra. I would sing in different voices. I'm very good at mimickry. Singing for Amitji it changed my life. I wouldn't be here, if not for him! I have done many albums for him. In fact, nowadays, even when Amitji, himself is singing, people think that it is me! Actually, to sing like him, I have to act like him for a while. I would get cassettes full of his dialogues, to understand the way he talks. I studied every little detail, from the way he delivers his dialogues to the way he breathes. Now, at times, I can't believe it is my voice! Singing with him on stage was a great feeling. ONCE, Amitji and Lataji gave a concert on April 23, 1999, in Bombay. I was the only male singer. We sang the song from Silsila: Main aur meri tanhai. I mouthed the dialogues and Lataji sang. That was a great moment. Amitji is very dedicated, very serious. He is very down to earth. And very hard-working. HE has become a part of my life. Every day I get called by directors and producers to sing songs for Amitji. Ninety per cent of my career is his voice. No one can replace a star like him. He himself will have to be born again!
