Music composer and singer Vishal Mishra had intended his visit to Lucknow to be a quiet one. The Kaise Hua singer-composer, who is in the city these days, decided to have chaat on Wednesday evening with his friends. He headed to a popular chaat outlet in Hazratganj to have some paani ka batasha and aloo tikki. As he was feasting on the chaat a few passerbys spotted Vishal and came over for a selfie with the Muskurayega India composer and singer.
Soon a huge crowd gathered at the eatery. Some also sang songs for the singer.which he enjoyed thoroughly.
Samar Khan, an ardent fan of the Nai Lagda singer-composer got really emotional on seeing Vishal and nearly broke into tears.
After a little while nearly a hundred people had gathered to click selfies with Vishal and to listen to their songs. What followed was a traffic jam on the road and the police had to be called in to disperse the crowd.
Seeing the crowd, Vishal too was apprehensive about the safety of the girls fans and quickly sat inside his car. Though thee fans continued to follow him and requesting him for autographs and photographs.
Feeling overwhelmed by receiving so much love and affection fromhis fans, an emotional Vishal tells us, "I’ve come back to Lucknow after a year and a half. I’ve grown up here and I love the surroundings. The love that I receive here is the most beautiful feeling in the world. I’ve given all my auditions here, struggled here, rejected and dejected here and to come back to my own city and receive so much love here is overwhelming.”
Vishal goes on to add, “So many youngsters consider me an inspiration and treat me like a brother. They are dreaming; they want to become singers like me and want to do something in the entertainment industry. I’ve met so many mothers and fathers who treat me like their own son. People my age treat me like I belong to them, that’s the most beautiful feeling when you get it from your own town, whether you are in Lucknow, Kanpur or Unnao. I can’t want to give something back to them. I feel there is a lack of direction for entering the music industry and I want to give back to my own people in Uttar Pradesh and do something in that direction. If I can bring about a change in someone’s life and help them make their dreams come true, whether it’s by opening an academy or a studio, I’d love to do that.”
