Once I was in the audition, when it was my turn I didn't have a guitar Aamir sir gave me his own guitar and said is se bajao, imagine being a newbie watching his videos and the same guitar in the videos and one day that guitar is in your hands . I cannot express that feeling He was a genius 😭♥️

"Mera Pyaar tum hi ho" to me has always sounded other worldly. Early 2000 mai pehli bar suna tha. Waqt (aur umar) guzarne ke saath jab thorri aqal ayi to us music aur uske bol ki value bhi samajh aayi.

Thank you Raftar for paying respect to a genius, the musician and more than that an institution for all the budding musicians and music lovers. And I agree with this he was born in a wrong country.

I think Yaha Zaki sey galaty hui hei. WO yaha kliye nhi tha. or is cheez ney usko depress kiya and depression took his life. Therefore, I always request to our society k ager ap kisi artist ki art ki taaab nhi laa sktey to atleast usey us k haal pey chorden. I am still thankful k zaki lived in an era jaha social media nhi tha. wrna shayd wo is umer tk bhi kbhi na pohnch pata.

I didn't expect anyone to pay homage, leave alone produce a documentary on the man who sold the world. This made me, a grown ass man, cry like a baby. I was surprised to 'feel' something, even if despair. Thank you Raftar. Zaki was thrown around like a used boxing towel for all his life. I almost met him once at Gulzar sahab's store, The Beatles, but Gulzar sb. asked me not to disturb "the man playing upstairs" Why? "He doesn't like company" Fair enough. Then I saw him, back in 2003, a mere shadow of his previous self walking to his home near mine. I thought of approaching him but I decided not to after what Gulzar sb had said. He shone the brightest in Coke Studios, just before he went away gently, into the rocking night. Now I'm his age, playing songs from Signature, and ready to leave the building, I suppose I can feel 1% of what he felt; debilitating agony. Aamir Zaki is dead, long live Aamir Zaki. Yeh baat kabhee "bhulana na".
