Jaipur

Ghazal singers Ahmed Hussain and Mohammad Hussain of Jaipur will be awarded Padma Shri in the field of arts.

Hussain brothers have thanked the central and state government for this honour.

Ahmed Hussain said, " those interested in this field should not be in a hurry to create a platform, do not care about the echo of applause. If someone gets trapped in the trap of publicity and money, then he drifts away from his art."

He added, "get an education from the one whom you consider a guru in the field."
