Singer Kailash Kher, who shot to fame with the 2003 hit number Allah Ke bande, has today conferred India’s fourth highest civilian award, the Padma Shri. He received the recognition by President Pranab Mukherjee for his contribution to music in the country.
“Receiving such a prestigious award holds loads of importance in one’s life; words will fall short if I try to explain. In my case, it is even more special; it is historic. It is such an incident, which will be mentioned in books, in future,” beamed the 43-year-old singer, who hails from Meerut. Known for adding Sufi touch to songs, Kailash has crooned tracks like Teri Deewani, Ya rabba, Yun Hi Chala Chal Rahi and many more. —ANI
