You can see people smiling wherever you look. That is what I try to do. That is why I feel we should give happiness to people whenever we get a chance.” Talking about Shaan, the singer who has been one of the most popular voices in Indian music for decades, along with his other hits, is best remembered for his iconic pop track Tanha Dil.
