His local language is Marwari, but he is also fluent in Hindi, Sindhi, Punjabi, urdu Saraiki, Registani and Rajasthani.

He had learnt the art from his father and older brother.
Talking to APP, he said he wanted to pass it on to the future generations. "My wife also performs in the troupe although women from our tribe are not generally allowed to do so," he said. He said that he had started singing from 1970. "I am singing from last 30 years. "I also performed in Norway, Germnay, Dubai and Turkmanistan".
He appealed the government to restore monthly financial assistance, as he spent whole life promoting art and culture of Pakistan.
