When it comes to art, there are certain things that remain timeless – SRK’s movies from the 90s, Gulzar sahb’s poetry, and the voices of Kishore Kumar and Mohammed Rafi. These people are called legends for a reason, but the new generation seems to differ.
A Twitter user who goes by the username @peeleraja claimed that Prateek Kuhad and Abhijeet Sawant are “far better singers” than Mohammed Rafi and Kishore Kumar.
That’s not all. They further claimed that Lata Mangeshkar’s voice was “screechy” and sounded like “cat nails on a glass board”. I seek forgiveness from the music gods from the whole of mankind.
These tweets might have been written as a joke or the person might have actually been serious – we do not know. But I believe, there are some lines that one shouldn’t cross. So people deemed it fit to respond to the tweet with sarcasm. Have a look:
You forgot the best female singers – Dhinchak Pooja & Amruta Fadnavis.

Obviously Tony Kakkar. Who are even Hariharan, Shankar Mahadevan and SPB in front of Tony. Silly question.

There are some lines you don’t cross. Rafi is sacrosanct.
