Punjabi

Sufi singer Satinder Sartaaj is currently one of the most talked-about artists in India. His song Jaiye Sajana from Dhurandhar The Revenge has become a massive hit across the country. In the very first episode of Baatein Dil Se, a brand new podcast by Navika Kumar, Times Group Editor-in-Chief, Satinder Sartaaj opened up like never before. He spoke about his music, his journey, and also took a moment to praise the people behind Dhurandhar 2.

Satinder Sartaaj Hails Ranveer Singh And Dhurandhar

When Navika Kumar asked Satinder Sartaaj about Ranveer Singh, he had nothing but deep respect and admiration for the actor. He did not just praise him, he explained exactly why he believes Ranveer's work deserves to be celebrated.Satinder Sartaaj said, "He has become so solid and so honest about his work. He was like that before as well, obviously. Sometimes there are things that are perhaps meant for you and he must have worked that hard. If he's shooting in Bombay or anywhere, then when he returns to his hotel or home at night, how empty he must feel, how full he must feel, how drained he must be. So this is very difficult work."

He continued, "That's why I'm telling you that I wrote one or two lines in five minutes and sang them, and then I say all the credit is mine, no, that's not the case. If you ever see his hard work, shooting goes on for seven to eight months, around the clock. You don't get sleep. It's very tough work."

Satinder Sartaaj 'Salutes' Aditya Dhar

Sartaaj did not just stop at praising Ranveer Singh. He also had very warm words for Dhurandhar 2 director Aditya Dhar and revealed that he has never met him in person.The singer shared, "I haven't met him, but from whatever I've seen of him, he seems very innocent and of a very delicate, gentle nature. So I mentioned this there as well. I would definitely like to ask him how he imagined so much intensity, so much struggle, so much bloodshed. Because if it's not in your nature, it's a very difficult thing to express that in a film. Look, as far as writers are concerned, it's one thing. You've written it on paper, that's fine. But when it comes to showing it, that's where the real effort comes in. So for me, implementation is just as valuable as the idea. And he implemented it. Those last scenes, where there's so much fighting, showing such raw action is a huge achievement. I salute Aditya."
