MUMBAI: Singer Malkit Singh, best known for his iconic tracks such as “Tutak Tutak Tutiya, ” and “Gur Nalo Ishq Mitha, ” has opened up about the growing divides he sees in today’s Punjabi music industry.
Speaking about the shift in camaraderie among younger artists, the veteran singer emphasised the need for mutual respect and unity to strengthen the industry. In an exclusive interview with IANS, Malkit recalled how his generation looked up to stalwarts like Kuldeep Manak, Mohammad Sadiq, and Surinder Shinda, learning from their experience and holding them in high regard.
According to him, today’s young artists should adopt the same attitude—seeking guidance from senior musicians instead of creating divisions. He believes that when artists stand together, the entire industry becomes stronger and more successful.
