Yes I got wounded while playing. What really happened was that, we played a whole match. It was just remaining few minutes before the last whistle would be blown. Suddenly, a defender came over and match my leg.

I fell down and got wounded. The wound lasted for a whole year, before I was able to walk on my feet again. Since then, I decided to take another direction, since i can’t play effectively like before and I didn’t want to loose my leg.

Umar M Shareef:

Abdul M Shareef is my family and sibling. We share the same parents. Abdul is my elder brother. Many people think he is my younger brother because of his facial attributes. But no, he is my senior brother.

7.Why do people find it hard to differentiate the two of you, are you twins?

Umar M Shareef:

Yes many people are finding it difficult to differentiate us. I have hearing about that perceptions from people. We are actually not twins but siblings. Many people find it hard to recognized us. Even recently someone saw me and was telling that he watched my films. But the film he watch was that of my brother. I just thanked him and he left.

I mostly sings and my brother mostly acts. So so he is more popular as an actor than as a musician. It wasn’t long I ventured into acting. So people mostly can’t recognized us because of our striking resemblance.

When people meet us differently, we don’t confused fans by saying, I am not this, he is that. We all gladly appreciate our fans. This is because fans can’t just differentiate us. Trying to explain them will means confusing them.

8. What was your motivating factor into becoming a musician?

Umar M Shareef:

love at first sight was my motivating factor. I became crazy in love with a certain girl. I was really disturbed by her love. I kept on picturing her in my heart. The feeling was too much for me.

I decided to take the bull by it’s horn and confront the matter. I went to the girls house for the very first time. I saw a a small child and I told him to tell her someone wanted to speak to her. On sighting her I ran away.

I went to the girl’s house a second time. This time I was bold enough. But wasn’t able to say anything to her. I went a third time and the girl didn’t grant me audience. I waited for more than an hour but I wasn’t lucky to see her. During the period of waiting, I started getting lyrics for a song. Then I took my pen and started writing it.

9. Can you tell me the lyrics of the song?

Umar M Shareef:

The music goes this way” you are my love, my life, you are the one in my heart and the one I am always thinking”. I think I should stop here. Surprisingly till date I have never recorded the song. It’s still in my collections.

Umar M Shareef:

No the love affair didn’t stand because I didn’t pursued it again. I just went my way. I was furious and devasted but I blamed it on my immaturity. But I am happy that her love has risen me today to fame. They say some disappoinment are blessings. I was able to look inwards and u saw my calling.
