Let us know the special things to this iconic song and this magical pair of Lata-Rekha.

When Lata Mangeshkar sang a cult sad song

Rekha’s song ‘Hum Bhool Gaye Re Har Baat Magar Tera Pyaar Nahi Bhoole’ from the film ‘Sautan Ki Beti’ released in 1990 is still considered to be at the top in the list of classic sad songs. The lyrics of this song were written by Sawan Kumar and its music was composed by Ved Pal. Rekha, Jeetendra, Jaya Prada, Sumit Sehgal and Baby Guddu were in lead roles in the film. This song narrates the broken heart, deep pain and helplessness of separation of a woman, which even today makes listeners emotional. Rekha’s tears and her acting in the song made this pain even more alive on screen.

This excellent song was decorated by Lata Mangeshkar with her magical voice. And while recording this, Lata Mangeshkar became very emotional and had tears in her eyes. However, Lata ji herself always said that she had complete control over her emotions while singing, because crying could spoil her voice and tone.

The magic of the unique Jugalbandhi of Rekha and Lata Mangeshkar

Whenever Lata Mangeshkar’s voice has synchronized with Rekha’s screen presence, a different magic has been seen on the cinema screen. Be it the soft and romantic song ‘Aapki Aankhon Mein Kuch…’ from the film ‘Ghar’, ‘Salaam-e-Ishq Meri Jaan’ from ‘Muqaddar Ka Sikandar’, or the painful song ‘Hum Bhool Gaye Re…’ from ‘Sautan Ki Beti’, this confluence of both has always been memorable. The purity and softness of Lata ji’s voice, and the expression and deep pause in Rekha’s eyes together made it not just a song but screen poetry. It would not be wrong to say that it was not just a playback singing but a wonderful union of two great arts, which even today gives goosebumps to the audience.
