Here is an interesting disclosure about Kishore Kumar, the singer. The incident revolves around the song Mere Naina Saawan Bhadon from the movie Mehbooba. This momentous song was sung by the legendary singers Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar.
R. D. Burman approached Kumar to sing the song and informed him that the song was based on Shivranjani raag. The humorous remark that came from the singer was “raag ki aisi ki taisi” and he said that he cannot sing the song. According to Burman, Kumar was a gifted singer and he can memorise any song and sing it. But the maestro found the song difficult for rendition and suggested to listen to Lata Mangeskar’s version first. After she sang the song, Kumar listened the song for one week and then was ready for the recording and what a outcome. It became one of the most popular number and is even popular among music lovers now.
