Shabbir Ahmed elated with responses for songs in 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' and 'All Is Well'

MUMBAI: Shabbir Ahmed, best known for writing lyrics for songs like ‘Teri Meri Meri Teri’ from ‘Bodyguard’ and ‘Jumme Ki Raat’ from ‘Kick’, is elated with the response he has been getting for his songs. Ahmed’s most recent projects include writing the song ‘Aaj Ki Party’ from ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, and ‘Chaar Shanivaar’ and ‘Baaton Ko Teri’ from ‘All Is Well’. ‘Chaar Shanivaar is composed by Amaal Mallik, while ‘Baaton Ko Teri’ is composed by Himesh Reshammiya.

“Since I keep working a lot with Bhushan Kumar and Amaal Mallik, he offered me this project. And as the song is about weekends, we came up with this hook line ‘Chaar Shanivaar’. We all believe that a week should have four Saturdays because all of us work so hard. It took a few sessions to create this song, but I am very happy with the way it has come out. Vishal Dadlani, Armaan Malik, and Badshah have done a great job. Even my second song, ‘Baaton Ko Teri’ took a little time,” revealed Ahmed.

The lyricist, who has previously worked with Reshammiya and Mallik on other film projects, said, “I really like working with Himeshji and Amaal as they are very talented and hardworking. They come up with a lot of new ideas every now and then,” he said.

Ahmed considers Salman Khan his godfather as the Bollywood actor guided him at every step. They first worked together in 2004 for the movie ‘Garv’. Reminiscing about his first meeting with Khan, Ahmed said, “I went to meet Salman bhai with Sajid Wajid, when he was shooting for a film a long time ago. After I was introduced to him, he kept in touch with me and we kept working together.”

Ahmed is thrilled with the kind of response he has been receiving for the songs he has written, and attributes his success to the ‘Dabangg’ actor. “There are so many people who wish to work with him but very few actually get a chance to work with him. He is my godfather,” he said on a concluding note.
