Jagjit Singh | Surabhi TV Series | Interview & More | Uncut | 13th April 1991

This is the unedited footage of Jagjit Singh ji which was later edited and got featured in the TV series 'Surabhi - Saptah Ka Kalakaar', this interview is taken by Renuka Shahane and Siddharth Kak in the year 1991. Surabhi was launched as a weekly cultural show on Doordarshan (DD), the word ‘viral’ still stood for a nasty fever. The purpose of the show was to give the Indian audience a flavor of every part of the country they belong to. As anchors, Siddharth Kak and Renuka Shahane, point out: “People of our country were proud of India but didn’t know what for. Surabhi offered them an opportunity to connect deeper with their own nation. It gave them a reason to be proud of India.” Surabhi had a glorious run on the national channel till 2001 (with a year’s break in 1991). It was the longest-running show of that era on Indian Television - one that received both critical as well as commercial acclaim. But there was no marketing strategy behind or viewership targets driving this. And yet the show fetched millions of postcards from the audience on a weekly basis.
