Well, in an old interview with NDTV, the late classical singer said that the Gulabo Sitabo actor is a wonderful singer who had lent his powerful vocals in Sujoy Ghosh's directorial film, Kahaani's Ekla Cholo Re.

Wo Ekla Cholo Re kya gaaya hai, wah wah." 

Meanwhile, over 80 years of his career, the legendary singer had gained a lot of honours and prestigious accolades including the Padma Shri in 1975, Padma Bhushan in 1990 and Padma Vibhushan 2000.
