This weekend, the ‘Shaadi Special’ episode featured the renowned director Sooraj Barjatya, his son Avnish Barjatya, and the cast of the upcoming film ‘Dono’- Rajveer Deol, and Paloma Dhillon’ as special guests.
Even as all the contestants were at their best, it was contestants Rik Basu and Sneha Bhattacharya’s duet performance to the songs ‘Pehla Pehla Pyar Hai’ and ‘Aaja Shaam Hone Aaee’ that mesmerized everyone. After listening to their performance, Sooraj Barjatya shared an interesting anecdote from the time when he directed the song ‘Pehla Pehla Pyaar Hai’ with Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit.
Sooraj Barjatya affirmed that both” Rik Basu and Sneha
displayed exceptional singing skills, but he acknowledged Rik, of having heard a lot about him.
Witnessing the genuine love RK portrayed, which is often perceived as scripted in movies, brought immense joy, he demonstrated that true and intense love exists in real life too. It was heartwarming to see, and Sooraj truly believed that RK is destined for great success. When he listened to his rendition of ‘Pehla Pehla Pyaar Hai,’ it transported him back to the time when they originally recorded it. Each verse was crafted separately, and he distinctly remembers when the chorus – ‘tu hi meri zindagi, tu hi meri bandegi’ – was introduced. Everyone admired it, but he remained silent. His concern was that his hero, Salman, wasn’t yet mature and experienced enough in love to reach the ‘zindagi bandagi’ phase. He believed he should at least find a girl first. While others thought it was poetic and beautiful, Sooraj didn’t want mere poetry; but wanted authenticity.
He further added, that he explained that in the scene, the characters were playfully teasing each other, but some believed it was true love. That’s when his father suggested he has everyone hear the script. Sooraj believed they don’t create hit songs, but rather hit situations. When the situation is right, the song becomes a hit. Therefore, the success depends on the context and situation of the film. He shared the script with everyone, and when we reached the part of the song’s situation, Dev Kohli ji understood. He focused on how the couple was trying to conceal their love, leading to the line, “jan ke bhi Anjana, kaisa mera yar hai, pehla pehla pyar hai, pehli pehli bar hai.” We put in a lot of effort, and the result was a beautiful song that captured everyone’s hearts.”
While Rik and Sneha won everyone’s hearts with their fantastic performance, wait till you watch all the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa contestants’ performances in the ‘Shaadi special’ episode.
