Lyricist Sameer had a conversation with Komal Nahta where he revealed about his struggles before getting a break.

When I came to Mumbai, I hired a room in a chawl in Malvani, Mumbai for a rent of Rs. 15. I had to make ends meet. I had done M.Com in Economics and Commerce. So, I started taking tuitions. Also, I had done a bit of journalism in Varanasi. I approached The Times of India. Those days, they used to publish a magazine called Madhuri. Vinod Tiwari was the editor. I met him and revealed that I am the son of Anjaan and that I have been struggling. He was a very good friends with Daddy. I asked him if I could write articles for the magazine.

Lyricist Sameer SLAMS use of old songs in Dhurandhar, Chauhaan: “Music ko background mein daal diya… SATYANAASH kar diya”

Lyricist Sameer had a conversation with Komal Nahta where he criticized the current state of music in Bollywood. He said, “Jo acchi cheez hoti hai, wahi lambi samay tak chalti hai. So even 100 years later, the old songs will continue to find an audience. A producer told me that he has only hired young kids in his office. I replied, ‘Acchi baat hai. Kab se rakha hai aapne?’. They replied, ‘Since 5-6 years’. I told them, ‘There was a time when your company used to come up with 10 super-hit albums every year. But that hasn’t happened in the last 5-6 years. Who have you hired then?’.” Sameer clarified, “I am not saying that the young kids are not talented. But when the old and new can merge together, it can be beneficial. I worked with Sachin-Jigar in FALTU (2011) and wrote songs like ‘Aaltu Jalaltu’ and ‘Chaar Baje Gaye Lekin Party Abhi Baaki Hai’. I proved with these songs that I could collaborate with young kids and come up with such youthful numbers. If you won’t give an opportunity t...
