Jagjit Singh

Since Jagjit Singh had composed an album, Samvedna, based on the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's poetry, anchor Rajat Sharma - in the customarily cheeky tone of his popular TV show Aap Ki Adalat - asked Jagjit if he had done this to curry favours with the government. "They awarded me a Padma Bhushan," Jagjit said. "Now I should aim for Padma Vibhushan!" Responding to the same line of questioning on whether he held any political ambitions, Jagjit smiled, "I wouldn't mind (a back-door) entry into the Rajya Sabha."
