Bollywood is an amazing place. This is a treasure trove of stories. Where serious, funny and interesting stories can be found. You only need to enter this mine once. Today we will talk about such a story when legends from different areas came together.
When you read the names used in this story, you will also say: Yes, this is a story worth hearing and telling. The first name in this story is that of former Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The second name is Jagjit Singh, the emperor of the Ghazal world and the third name is the king of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan. Apart from this, one more name remains and that is that of the emperor of Hindi cinema, Amitabh Bachchan. These four are the characters of this story. But there is another character in this story and that is the name Yash Chopra.
As everyone knows, Atal Bihari Vajpayee was a skillful orator and a good poet. You must be aware of the words of Amitabh Bachchan’s voice and the magic of Shah Rukh Khan’s screen presence. There is no equal to Jagjit Singh in Ghazal. When these four are mixed together, nothing but magic is created. This happened in 2002 when Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s famous poem ‘Kya Khoya Kya Paya’ was brought to the screen. Jagjit Singh sang his song in his own style and this song was made into a film. At the beginning of the song, some lines of the poem can also be heard in Amitabh’s voice.
This album was named Sensation. Jagjit Singh, who adapted former Prime Minister Atal Bihari’s poem ‘Kya Khoya Kya Paya’ into a ghazal, had also composed this song. Yash Chopra, one of Bollywood’s greatest directors, directed the song himself. Furthermore, Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s book Samvedna, on which this song is based, was published in 1999.
This song shows the truth of the realistic world. Shows the mirror of this world in which we all stop for a moment and think about what life is. Why did we come to this earth? These words spoken in Amitabh’s voice at the beginning of the song foreshadow this even before the song begins: “Before the streets of relationships and the markets of kya khoya kya paya, there is a corner somewhere on the path of thought.” “It comes where after reaching a person becomes lonely, then the poet wakes up, then unique pictures of life arise with the colors of words, poems and songs come like dreams and immortalize themselves forever on paper.
The 3 characters of this song are no longer in this world. Yash Chopra left this world in 2012 and Atal Bihari Vajpayee left this world in 2018. Yash Chopra had already said goodbye to the world before the release of his last film Jab Tak Hai Jaan. Jagjit Singh, on the other hand, breathed his last in 2011.
This story is also important because you know that there are many things that are amazing. Hearing and seeing that provides relief. Maybe you’ve heard this song, but if not, then definitely give it a listen. This song is the result of the hard work of 5 legends. That’s why it’s important to tell this story.
