Music played ‘cupid’ in Subash & Neelam Langeh’s life

Since they are seen performing together on stage most of the times, Subash and Neelam Langeh are being called Jagjit Singh and Chitra Singh of Jammu. It was music that brought them together 25 years ago and it is still happening in their lives. Even after 25 years of marriage, Subash is still head over heels for Neelam and never misses an opportunity to praise him. They have two sons and they both are into music as well. Read on to know other aspects of the life of this “musical couple”.

TNN: Where did you met for the first time?

Subash: My hometown or the place where I was born and brought up was Reasi and she used to live in Jammu city. We both used to go to the same teacher to learn music. This teacher played the ‘matchmaker’ part in our lives. He sent us to Chandigarh together for some audition and that’s where we met.

TNN: When did you decide about spending your life together?

Neelam: During that trip only. We were quite compatible and I always wanted a life partner, who belongs to same profession as mine.

TNN: What made you choose each other as life partners?

Subash: Her voice and the understanding for music. When I first heard her singing, I just fell in love.

Neelam: I was the only performer in my family. Before my marriage, every time when there is some performance, I had to convince my sister or my mother for accompanying me. It used to bother me a lot and hence, I decided I will marry a performer only and when I met him, my search ended. He was not only a singer but a great human being. Now, after 25 years of being together, I am happy to choose him in my life.

TNN: How has been the journey for you?

Neelam: I would say beautiful. We will be celebrating our 25th anniversary in the end of this month and I have no idea where all these years gone. With him, the life has been pretty amazing. We stay together, perform together and even cook together every day.

TNN: Give us a glimpse of a normal day in your family.

Subash: Neelam works in Army School as Music teacher. She is an early riser. She wakes up, prepares breakfast for me and our younger son. She packs lunch for both of us as well and then she leaves for school. I wake up a little late, have breakfast and then I go to my office. We come back late in the afternoon, prepare lunch together. Our elder brother is in Mumbai at present, we talk to him in the evening and spend the entire day laughing and singing like this.

TNN: How do you spend your weekends?

Neelam: For us almost every day is a weekend since we had to travel for shows.

TNN: You not only stay together but perform too. How do you feel like?

Subash: Only those couple, who work together, can know how amazing is it to have your life partner standing right besides you while you are working.

TNN: So, you never had any “Abhimaan” moment in your life?

Neelam: Not at all. I feel proud that we both are in same profession. Performing with him is much easier for me than performing alone. It is because we perform together, we are regarded as Jagjit Singh and Chitra Singh of Jammu, which is quite an honour.

Subash: I always say and believe that she is far more amazing singer than me and this made me proud.

TNN: What was the happiest moment of your life?

Subash: When our marriage got fixed.

Neelam: When we first met.

TNN: One thing you like about each other?

Subash: She sings amazingly and cooks amazing food as well. So, for me, it’s her “Khaana and Gaana”.

Neelam: The kind of support he gives me in all my decision. The way he has taken care of me over the years.

TNN: One thing which you dislike?

Subash: She doesn’t practice regularly.

Neelam: He is quite a critic.

TNN: What one best gift you have given to each other?

Subash and Neelam (both together in same tone): Our kids.

TNN: Any message to our readers.

Subash: A couple can only stay happy and successful, if they support each other and feel same for each other. Try to understand each other as much as possible. This is the key for a happy and successful family.
