Listening to one such duet brought back vivid moments from the film’s recording sessions, which he described as filled with passion, creativity, and unforgettable collaborations.
He added: “Listening back to this beautiful duet takes me right back to our sessions for Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin — a time filled with music, passion, and unforgettable people.”
Sanu also remembered late music baron Gulshan Kumar, crediting his vision and deep love for music for making several iconic projects possible.
“Above all, remembering Gulshan ji, whose vision and love for music made so much possible… truly missed, always remembered I cherish the sweet moments with Kishan Kumar and little Bhushan.”
Adding details about the song, Sanu also mentioned: “Film: Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin, Director: Mahesh Bhatt, Singer: Anuradha Paudwal, Kumar Sanu, Lyrics: Sameer, Music: Nadeem–Shravan. As they say, some songs are meant for the world… and some are just meant for the moment.”
