Sardool revealed that during his struggling days, there was a music company named HMV and the one who got selected for recording is certified as a successful star and others don’t. So he wished to work and record his song with the company. But due to his looks and shabby clothes he got refused every time.
One of the reasons behind his shabby clothes was that he couldn’t afford good clothes and another reason will touch your heart. The late artist used to travel 4 O’Clock in morning in a newspaper van and reached there before the call time. He then slept in the gardens and then used to go to the recording studio in those clothes only. Due to this, he looked like a burglar and sometimes he had to bear with the police too.
However, this process happened a number of times. He requested them to at least listen to him once. But they rejected him and told him that the company can’t take risks with new artists. Then one fine day, he went with someone to play tumbi in a recording session, during that time while everyone was having lunch, he started humming a song. Some musicians listened to him and were impressed. They took him to the head and when they listened to him they all were etched and felt miserable that they always renounce such a talented artist just because of his clothes.
