But, with the encouragement of his mother Jobeda Khanam, he continued to practice music. Alam Khan’s devoted love and deep attachment to music touched the heart of father Aftab Uddin Khan and advised him to approach a master for proper musical education. Following his father’s advice, Alam Khan started taking music lessons from Ustad Nani Chatterjee through his friend Chhotu Mia.
