Ismail Darbar on son Zaid Darbar directing him: For a father, there is no greater pride
Mumbai, June 1
Music composer Ismail Darbar has embarked on a new digital journey with YouTube, where he will be stepping in front of the camera.
The experience is extremely special as Ismail Darbar has collaborated with his son, Zaid Darbar, for his new venture.
Talking about his comeback, Ismail Darbar shared that he feels proud to have his son as part of his comeback journey.
He said, "I have always been behind the music, but this time stepping in front of the camera felt completely different. The most beautiful part was being directed by my son, Zaid. For a father, there can be no greater pride than seeing his son become a part of his comeback journey."
Revealing what inspired him to launch his own YouTube channel, the composer went on to add, "Music has always connected me with people, but through YouTube, I want to connect with them on a more personal level. Beyond songs, I want to share my journey, my thoughts, and some special moments from my life. This is a new beginning straight from the heart."
Ismail Darbar shared that his YouTube journey has become an emotional family milestone.
He stated that Zaid not only directed the project but also felt it, making it even more memorable for both of them.
"It was a deeply emotional experience. When your own son brings your dream back to the world with so much love and dedication, it fills your heart with gratitude. Zaid did not just direct this, he truly felt it. For both of us, this chapter is filled with memories and emotions," he added.
Providing the fans with a peek into what is to come next, the composer added, "Audiences have always known me through melodies and emotions. On this platform, they will get to know me more closely. There will be music, stories, new experiments, and heartfelt conversations. I hope the bond that began through music years ago becomes even stronger."

As a parent, I can completely understand this feeling. There's something incredibly special when your child becomes your teacher or guide. Ismail Darbar's music has been part of our family's celebrations for decades. This transition to YouTube shows he's not afraid to evolve with the times. Zaid must be feeling proud too!
Nice to see a veteran musician adapting to digital platforms. But I hope he doesn't lose his unique style in the process. Devdas's music was iconic because of that classical touch. Would love to see some behind-the-scenes stories of his journey in Bollywood. Let's see what Zaid brings to the table as a director.
This is such a wholesome father-son story! In Indian culture, the guru-shishya parampara is special, but when the student becomes the teacher (or director here), it's truly beautiful. Ismail Darbar's humility to let his son guide him is commendable. Looking forward to seeing more personal content from him.
Ismail Darbar's music defined my childhood! From 'Mere Dushman' to 'Dola Re' - his compositions had soul. This YouTube move is smart because it lets fans connect with the artist beyond the songs. I hope Zaid brings out a fresh perspective while keeping that classic touch. Family collaborations always feel more authentic.
