Joshi said the thought behind the song was to show the hide-and-seek moment between the mother (Waheeda Rehman) and the son (R Madhavan). But the son is hidden at a place from where he can`t come back

As country mourned the loss of Lata Mangeshkar, people turned to her track "Luka Chuppi" from "Rang De Basanti" to remember the iconic singer, and lyricist Prasoon Joshi says it was her grace and soulful voice that made the song special. Composed by ace music director A R Rahman, the track from the 2006 film, directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, started trending on social media after it was announced that the veteran singer had passed away at the age 92 on Sunday.
Joshi penned the lyrics for the song but it was brought alive by Mangeshkar who channelled the feelings of a mother, grieving the death of her son.
The lyricist, who is also the current Chief of Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), said the track "Luka Chuppi" remains close to his heart. "The song will always remain special. We spent a few days together, she came to Chennai and lived there with us. One thing I observed was that she hadn`t changed at all. She would rehearse a lot before a song even then. And till she was not satisfied, she would continue (singing). The kind of dedication she had for her work was huge," Joshi told PTI.
