Hassan Jahangir is a legendary Pakistani singer who began his career in 1986. He rose to prominence with his iconic hit song Hawa Hawa, and also sang Hato Bacho and Pyar Pakistan. His songs became immensely popular in India, where he received a huge welcome around 40 years ago. The singer also received admiration from legendary Indian figures including Rekha, Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, and many others. Nowadays, Hassan Jahangir is working on his upcoming musical projects, which will be released soon.
Hassan Jahangir was recently a guest on Ahmed Ali Butt’s podcast Excuse Me. During the podcast, he spoke about receiving a love letter from Indian actress Rekha and others.
When asked by the host, “We have heard Rekha ji wrote you a love letter back when Hawa Hawa was a massive hit. Is that true?” he replied, “Look, love can happen at any age. There are some things that need to be kept secret or private. I was loved in India and had no issues there. Madhuri, Govinda, Shah Rukh, Salman, Mithun Chakraborty, all are my good friends. We are on good terms and we often exchange warm messages.”
Talking about what he regrets the most, Hassan Jahangir said, “I had five to six Indian films as a hero. I regret refusing seven films which I was offered as the main lead in India at that time. All the films were with big names like Neelam, Madhuri, and others. I just rejected the offers and came back to Pakistan. Any of them could have been a hit.”
