02:08There are no such smart people in the music industry.
02:13There are no such smart people in the music industry.
02:16My father and Lata remember all this.
02:19I had requested them to take over DDLJ.
02:22I had requested them to take over DDLJ.
02:25I was doing live on Instagram.
02:28I was doing live on Instagram.
02:31I was doing live on Instagram.
02:33for a while on Instagram.
02:35So, Udit Narayan, me, Abhijeet,
02:37who were in DDLJ,
02:39we were together
02:41remembering that film,
02:43remembering its music.
02:45So, I didn't think she would come.
02:47But she came on Instagram live.
02:49She joined the group.
02:51And she told
02:53all these things
02:55while talking to me.
02:57How she knew the family,
02:59how she remembered.
03:01So, it was her greatness
03:03that she didn't come anywhere
03:05because of anyone's words.
03:07But she loved me.
03:09And it was her love
03:11that she thought
03:13that since he is talking,
03:15I will go for a while.
03:17And I don't know
03:19if she has ever been
03:21on Instagram live.
03:23But she tried and came.
03:25And
03:27it was her love
03:29and blessings.
03:31As you said,
03:33she helped a lot.
03:35So, the first song
03:37that you recorded with Lata,
03:39when she came to the recording room,
03:41both of you were very nervous
03:43about how to do it.
03:45Share that experience.
03:47She was a very experienced lady.
03:49And she knew
03:51how many new people
03:53she had worked with.
03:55So,
03:57people get nervous.
03:59There is no doubt about it.
04:01But the first song
04:03that we recorded
04:05was for Mr. Dev's film.
04:07Because we wanted him
04:09to sing a song in Khiladi.
04:11When a person is a beginner,
04:13he wants to sing a song
04:15to make his life.
04:17There is a hope
04:19in my music.
04:21So, he said no for some reason.
04:23He was very sad
04:25that Lata Mangeshkar
04:27would not sing his song.
04:29So, the producer
04:31approached him directly.
04:33So, when we were recording
04:35for Mr. Dev's film,
04:37we told him that
04:39he should sing a song for Lata.
04:41So, Mr. Dev called
04:43and she came to the recording.
04:45So, when it was about rehearsal,
04:47Jatin told me to go with her
04:49because she was very nervous.
04:51So, I went with her.
04:53As soon as she left,
04:55she met me with a lot of love.
04:57She understood who this guy was
04:59and her father.
05:01She understood everything.
05:03She loved me a lot.
05:05She said,
05:07do you know how small I saw you?
05:09I used to make you stand
05:11in a stool to sing.
05:13I don't remember, but she remembers.
05:15Because I couldn't reach the mic
05:17and I was so small that I couldn't read Hindi.
05:19So, she used to remind me.
05:21So, I made her do the rehearsal.
05:23Since then,
05:25we have a very good
05:27connection again.
05:31And that happened
05:33because she knows our family.
05:35She was very happy
05:37when she heard Dilwale's songs.
05:39She saw the quality of his work.
05:41She herself was enjoying it.
05:43She used to tell him to do this
05:45and that.
05:47And then
05:49she sang many more songs for us.
05:53You mentioned Dilwale.
05:55Pamla Chopra's music arrangement
05:57involved her a lot.
05:59She used to give you
06:01music guidance.
06:03She even sang a song
06:05in her voice
06:07for DDLJ.
06:09Yes, of course.
06:11She was a very musical lady.
06:13In fact, the whole family
06:15was musical.
06:17Aditya Chopra himself
06:19writes very well.
06:21He is an extraordinarily
06:23talented person.
06:25We know Yashji's films
06:27very well.
06:29There is no better song
06:31than his
06:33that he presents
06:35his actresses.
06:37I haven't seen it.
06:39After that, I saw Aditya Chopra
06:41and Karan Johar
06:43together.

07:33Yashji Chopra's
07:35interest and understanding
07:37of writing
07:39is something
07:41that I have seen.
07:43I got a chance
07:45to sit with them
07:47and understand them.
07:49I should be proud of it.
07:51I did a good job
07:53with them.
