A still from ‘Do Deewane Shahar Mein’
Veteran actor Amol Palekar who was the face of some of the late Bhupinder Singh’s iconic songs, ‘Do Deewane Shahar Mein’ and ‘Ek Akela is Sherher Mein’ (Gharaonda, 1977) spoke to mid-day.com as he recalled their association.
Palekar said, “I first bumped into Bhupinder at the recording of ‘Do Deewane Shahar Mein’ (Gharaonda, 1977) It was at Famous, Tardeo. It was a huge laboratory plus recording studio, as was the case in those days, many historical places were culturally vibrant, Famous was one of them. This was Bhim Sain ji’s debut film Gharaonda. He invited me for the recording so I was there and I knew Jaidevji too. There was a lot of excitement in the studio because Runa Laila had come down from Bangladesh. It was her first song in India. They were rehearsing and I made a couple of suggestions, like some of the things are said in prose, since it would add to the playfulness of the song. Jaidevji liked those suggestions and Bhupinder was the first to respond saying ‘bahut achcha.’ That’s how our journey started. ‘Ek Akela is Shaher Mein’ is an iconic song not just in my career but in the history of Indian cinema.”
