Kher said, “I will be very grateful if you could give importance to my request. I am very impressed that the many youth of Nagaland are my crazy fans and they like my songs.”
The singer also requested the chief minister to allow him to perform at Naga Heritage Village, Kisama next year, saying, “my team was expecting to perform at Kohima this time but was surprised when asked to perform at Dimapur as the government has shifted the venue for Hornbill concert.”
“My team brought lots of warm clothes than instruments thinking that we would be performing in freezing cold Kohima. However, we were not disappointed when we saw the huge crazy fans in the jam-packed DDSC Stadium.”
Kailash also expressed his desire to groom local talents from Nagaland if anyone is at all serious to make a mark in music world. Kailash sang a few lines from his popular songs like ‘Teri Deewani’ and composed song ‘Kuchi, Kuchi’.....which resembles the name of the chief minister’s son Kuchi. “When Kuchi introduced himself to me, my mind was suddenly transported to my old song composed for Hindi movie which unfortunately did not fare well.”
