“Humse Ka Bhool Hui”, “Teri Ankhon Ki Chahat Mein”, “Mohabat Ab Tijarat Ban Gayi Hai” “Haton Ki Chand Lakeeron Ka” these are the songs which are old but, they are still very sweet to listen even today same as wine. One can not forget these songs, and also the melodious voice in which these songs were recorded, yes, that is Anwar Hussain. He was in capital to promote his new album “Tohfa”. We had an interesting conversation with him regarding his long exile from Industry and much more

First of all we would like to know about your new album?
Well, “Tohfa” is a compilation of 8 songs in which “Hum Se Ka Bhool Hui”, “Teri Akhon Ki Chahat” from the film ‘Janta Adalat’ and “Mohabat Ab Tijarat Ban Gai Hai” from the film ‘Arpan’ are remixed by Sidharth, other songs in this album “Tohfa” are original and written by Katil Shifai and music composition is done by music director Musafir.

“Humse Ka Bhool Hui” and, “Mohabat Ab Tijarat Ban Gayi Hai” songs are already very much popular among listeners, is there any particular reason to remixing them?
As every one knows the remixed songs are really becoming popular among the youngsters, and I believe that we should update our self according to the trend and that’s the reason.

What is the reason behind your sudden exile from the industry, that too when you were at the peak of your career?
I was busy with my stage shows, there are huge audiences internationally who really appreciate Bollywood music. I was giving stage performance in America and Holand, and received tremendous response.

What made you to think about an album?
When you sing for a movie, you have to sing according to the music director and some times according to the producer. When it comes to private album you will have a liberty to sing as you feel. Even I wanted to do the same, couple of days back I happened to read Katil Shifai’s poetry and I liked it and in this way album “Tohfa” is in front of you.

Tell us about your album video’s?
We made videos of all the 8 tracks. These days’ audiences and listeners are very keen to watch the songs rather than listening. Nowadays, making videos has become mandatory.

When can we hear you again in movies?
