In a conversation with ani, he said, it a long journey. My Father Achieved Success after 17 to 18 years of Struggle. I was born in a small village in banaras (Varanasi). I moved from the village to the city and from the city to this mahanagar (Mumbai). And this journey was full of UPS and downs. I took very different decisions. I left my bank job. I left the offer to become a professor. I used to receive such offers trust, at that time, I had completes my m.com from Bhu. So, people did have access to such educated individuals at that time. But I was adamant that I wanted to become a lyric. That stubbornness gave me a lot of trust in the beginning.

The Ace Lyricist Recalled The Challenges He Facted in the Initial Years of His Care, Saying, I Had So Many Trials That I Used To Cry at Night, and I Used To Sleep Hungry. However, I now feel that it was negamentsary. BeCause until you are aware of Poverty, Hunger and Pain, when you write, it will look fake. There will be no reality in it. BeCause if you haven experienced love, then written about it will definitely seem fake. I knew at that time, the hunger that was trualing me today, this hunger, would take me ahead, and it did.

Being Born to a Renowned Lyricist, Anjaan Proved to be a Boon and a Curse for Him. As he shared, logon ko lagta tha itne bade baap ka beta hai to shaukiya shaayari karta hai … I had to break thees things, those things. Mujhe apni khud ki zameen tayaar karni padi..the music directors made me sit in their sitting room and make me write, to see if I knew how to write, or if anjaanji writes and gives it to me, ghostwriter. And it took me 4 years to pass that test. Laxmikant ke yahan ek mukhda pass karane mein mujhe chaar saal laga. Aur un 4 saalon mein mai roz unke yahan jaata tha aur maine kabhi himmat nahi haari ki ye kab kab karenge gaana aur vo din aaya ki unhone kiya ..

Later, Sameer Anjaan Wrote Lyrics for some of laxmikant-pyarelal compositions, like they worked together on the song aao chalu bhag chalen from the film dil hai betaab.

If you are afraid of struggle, you wont achieve success. The more you struggle, the better success you will get. If you decide this in your mind, then no power in the world can stop you on the way, he added.

He Recalled How His Creations Gained Popularity Among the People. Mujhe Nend Na Aaye..Matlab Ye Haal Ho Gaya Mai Jahan Jau College Mein, Kisi function mein jau sab jagah yehi gaana gaaya ja raha hai ..

His next successful project was aashiqui. So, Aashiqui Changed the Whole Vibration..AESA LAGA Pura Hindustan Mohabbatmaye Ho Gaya Hai..I Want to Spread Love to the World. I want to show that only way to remove hatred is to spores…
