Sachin-Jigar
The Score Magazine|November 2017

The tree of their friendship has grown over time with roots delving deeper, longer and stronger. Their struggle has weathered many storms as well as tided over all odds to chisel out a space for their craft in this competitive music industry. Now the bonding between well-known Bollywood composers Sachin Sanghvi and Jigar Saraiya aka Sachin-Jigar is a fabled inseparable buckle that looks impossible to break! Having evolved gradually but consistently as a hit machine, these music partners are a name to reckon with among the current breed of musicians. The duo shares of its story right from the salad days as amateur starters, stint in theatre as well as on small screen, apprenticeship under industry bigwigs, equation with fandom, familial support and inspiration to a lot more things unplugged in a tête-à-tête with Score music magazine.

Sachin-Jigar

How did you guys form a musical duo? Where did you first meet and hit it off?

Sachin: Everything happens for a reason you know. And we realise this in hindsight when we reflect on the past. We would actually meet more often than not to share our workloads while straddling theatre with television. Jigar then one day asked me to join the very reputed Rajesh Roshanji and his camp to taste mainstream waters and the next thing we knew was arranging music for the Roshans professionally and the thought organically hit home that we are on the same page as a congenial combination.

Jigar: I think Sachin covered the part as to how we met and synergised to become musical partners. But let me add another interesting dope here that suggests, we bonded more over food than music. At least that’s what I feel at heart (chuckles!). The other matching point is that hailing from similar backgrounds has really helped us forming this pair and we both wanted to toil hard over producing some amazing music.

Sachin, you hail from a suburban Mumbai, dominated by Gujarati community and your voice has been a rage for years during Navaratri celebration and garba dance. Can you recall those days and the musical impact that this association has left upon you?

Sachin: Yes, I feel great when I look back and think about those funfilled, joyous times. When I was a kid, people used to be amused by the fact that I did a lot of shows and even cut regional albums. You see, we always learn things quickly in our younger days and I picked up music the most as a child. I took to singing, keyboards, playing with a band and also imbibed the idea of how to address a large crowd on stage. Later, I used all that experience I could gather at a tender age in executing Sachin-Jigar shows on a professional platform.
