Former Miss World Priyanka Chopra's father, Dr. Ashok Chopra, who is a well established surgeon also sings and finds it as an integral part of his life now. Chopra was recently seen promoting his devotional music album Haal Mureedan Da Kehna speaking on which he says, “All shabads are based on Indian classical music and are from the Guru Granth Sahib. These tracks were carefully chosen with classical base and minimal use of instruments to retain the richness of the religious thoughts."
The album contains eight shabads sung by him and composed by Surjeet Singh Parmar. It took him nearly two-and-a half years to compose the shabads which were then recorded in the wee hours of the morning in order “to capture the concentration and tranquility of mind.”
Dr. Ashok Chopra who had been pursuing singing since childhood says, “By profession, I am a surgeon and singing is my hobby. I am singing since childhood and I conducted school prayers for 11 years. I won many singing competitions at school."
He has dedicated this album for the cause of fighting against female foeticide and said that Priyanka was quite supportive in the initiative.
Chopra has also released two albums, Kalame Ala Hazrat and Har Har Shankar prior to this latest release.
