Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol’s superhit film ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge’, which was released in 1995, is also known for its soundtrack and melodies. Anand Bakshi wrote the words for Tujhe Dekha To, and Jatin-Lalit composed the music. But nearly thirty years after the movie’s release, Jatin Pandit has expressed his displeasure with Kumar Sanu for failing to give credit to the lyricists and composers for the song’s success.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Lalit Pandit disclosed that Kumar Sanu failed to give credit to both of them. Lalit Pandit said, “The fact that Kumar Sanu didn’t acknowledge Anand Bakshi who penned the lyrics and us Jatin-Lalit who composed the music for Tujhe Dekha To, which became a success, was a little upsetting. It is not good on his part to continuously say, ‘Mera gaana hai, mera gaana hai’.”
Kumar Sanu has now responded to Lalit Pandit by saying that he has always appreciated their music. During a conversation with Hindustan Times, Sanu said, “Of course agar music aisa nahi hota toh yeh gaana hit nahi hota. Same for the lyrics. Maine kuchh aur kabhi socha tak nahi. Jatin Lalit are such music directors… every song has something special. Someone who took forward the legacy of good music after Pancham da was them. Nadeem Shravan, Anu Malik, they are also superb. Jatin Lalit ke music mein touch Pancham da ka rehta hai that everybody likes, though there is no one who can be compared to him. There are no two thoughts that if the composition of Tujhe Dekha Toh wasn’t such, the song would not have been a hit. If the lyrics weren’t so pyaare… it was total team work. Uski wajah se gaana hit hota hai.”
The 66-year-old further added that the lyrics of the song were so easy to digest for the public and the credit, therefore, goes first to Jatin Lalit ji and Anand Bakshi.
He even opened up about the misunderstanding and shared that when he will meet them, he will talk it out. He respects them and he will always do and also acknowledged that they have contributed a lot to his life and career.
