Rekha: Yes I have. Now I start my riyaaz at 6 am, but my New Year resolution is to start at 4.30 - 5 am. The peace I get practicing at that hour is hundred times more than what I usually get. I have experienced that a few times and I would like to experience that everyday.

Sunidhi: I have heard you also compose songs?

Rekha: Actually, I used to compose ghazals in my college days. Now I have started again.

Sunidhi: Let us talk about Lataji.

Rekha: She is Goddess Saraswati for us. Thanks to Vishal I have got the opportunity to watch her sing from very close quarters. And even today when she sings, she does it as if she is singing her first song of her career. She comes fully prepared, the words and tune and she reads the composer's mind through his composition.

Sunidhi: She is a legend. Lataji, hats off to you. Rekhaji you have done a lot of work with Gulzarsaab. Tell us about it.

Rekha: Yes, he is my Santa Claus, my Sufi saint. If he hadn't come into our lives I don't know where we would have been. He showed us the path. In fact I got my reading habit from Gulzarsaab. He is a wonderful person. He always tells us your success must be on your own terms.

Sunidhi: You have sung a beautiful song for Chachi 420 -- Ek woh din bhi the.

Rekha: I will tell you a funny incident. The director of Chachi 420 wanted a new voice. And you know even today Vishal introduces my voice to producers, even for Namak from Omkara, saying this is a new singer. He doesn't say this is Rekha or my wife. Anyways, the director liked a song I had sung for Jahan Tum Le Chalo and wanted something similar. But when we recorded the song, he didn't like it. But then Kamal Haasansaab stepped in and said we will keep this song -- and that he would shoot it. It turned out pretty good and is the only romantic and emotional sequence in the film.
