Jagjit Singh (1941–2011), born in Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan, was a legendary Indian singer, composer, and musician who revolutionized the genre of ghazal singing. Trained in classical music, he brought ghazals from elite drawing rooms to the masses by modernizing the music and using simple, soulful language. His smooth voice, emotional depth, and clear diction made his ghazals deeply relatable, even to those unfamiliar with classical poetry. With timeless songs like “Hothon Se Chhoo Lo Tum” and “Tum Itna Jo Muskura Rahe Ho”, he gave voice to emotions of love, loss, and longing.
