पटना, बिहार: बहुचर्चित ‘ये प्रयागराज है’ गीत पर गायक आलोक कुमार ने IANS से कहा, कुंभ पर यह मेरा पहला गाना है और मैंने कभी नहीं सोचा था कि यह अचानक इतना हिट हो जाएगा। ऐसा लगता है जैसे मुझ पर ईश्वर की कृपा है। लोगों के प्यार और समर्थन ने इस गाने को सफल बनाया है। मैं सालों से पूरी लगन के साथ गाने बना रहा हूँ और मेरे गाने सर्च में तो आते थे लेकिन उन्हें कभी इतनी पहचान नहीं मिली।

00:00Actually, when I went to sing this song, it was the first song of my life on the kumbhak.
00:09And I never realized that this song would suddenly boom so much.
00:17And it was God's grace on me that today Alok Kumar's song is the pride of all the Sanatanis.
00:26This song is played on everyone's phone, on everyone's lips. This is Priyagraj.
00:31So, it is people's love and blessings. I just do my work.
00:35I have been singing honestly for many years.
00:39I won the Sur Sangram, the first reality show of Bhojpuri in 2009.
00:45The name of the show was Sur Sangram. I was the winner of that.
00:48After winning, I just stepped into the film industry, in Bhojpuri film industry.
00:53After that, I sang songs in hundreds of films. I have thousands of songs.
00:58Songs used to come. My song used to come in search.
01:03But it didn't come to this level that you know what songs Alok Kumar has sung.
01:10Although many people know.
01:12But when I sang this Priyagraj, and I want to tell you one more thing.
01:17I sang this Priyagraj five years ago.
01:21I sang it five years ago.
01:23And now, after 144 years, the festival of Mahakum has been held.
01:28In that, I will say directly that I have received blessings.
01:32Directly, I have received God's blessings.
01:34Actually, the writer of this song, his name is Rajesh Pandey ji.
01:40He is from Chhapra.
01:42His music director is Om Jha ji.
01:45He is from Shrikapura, Bihar.
01:47And I am from Lakhishwara district, Khajra.

01:59When I got this song to sing.
02:02I got the song to sing.
02:03So, what happens is that in Bhojpuri, the songs that we sing now.
02:08The use of auto-tune is very high.
02:10The use of tuner is very high.
02:13So, I said to Om Jha ji.
02:15Brother, I have sung with a lot of hard work.
02:18I have finished the song in about two and a half hours.
02:21It took me two and a half hours to sing this song.
02:26And I said, brother, don't use auto-tune in this.
02:30Otherwise, whatever hard work I have done, it will be ruined.
02:33And Om Jha ji did this.
02:35He did not use auto-tune in that song.
02:38This is my original voice.
02:39This is Priyagraj.
02:40This is also his gift.
02:42That the ears are feeling good.
02:43The ears are feeling good.
02:44No, it was also released.
02:46It was also released.
02:47This song is from the movie.
02:49This is Priyagraj's.
02:50Okay.
02:51So, you didn't get popularity at that time.
