The Indian playback singer Kumar Sanu has recently completed 35 years in the industry and over the years, he has given many melodious and hit songs including the famous track, “Ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga” from the movie “1942: A Love Story” which got released in the year 1994 and was directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra.
What makes this film more special is the fact that it was the last movie in which the famous music composer RD Burman gave music but he departed from this world even before the flick got released. Recently, singer Kumar Sanu revealed an interesting incident regarding the song as he said that Pancham da (RD Burman’s nickname) came inside the singing room and told him that the word, “jaise” is used many times in this song and he wants Kumar Sanu to sing it differently each time. R D Burman stated that if Kumar Sanu is able to sing the word “jaise” differently each time, then the song is a hit.
Sanu added that he worked very hard to sing word “jaise” in a different manner each time and the song was a big hit. He further praised RD Burman for his vision and creativity as he knew how a song can be made a hit.
Kumar Sanu made a surprising revelation when he said that after the recording, R D Burman came into the recording room, hugged and kissed him and then he started abusing the playback singer. Kumar Sanu asked some other person as to why RD Burman was abusing him and that person told Kumar Sanu that he was abusing him because he liked him a lot.
Kumar Sanu won the Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer for this song and it is undoubtedly one of the most romantic songs ever created in Bollywood.
RD Burman’s style of abusing those whom he liked was very odd but his music was just awesome, what do you say?
