Alisha Chinai on Ek Aur Baar Kishore Kumar

Alisha is a part of SonyLIV’s latest show, Ek Aur Baar Kishore Kumar, where she recreated his iconic songs with Shaan and other artistes. Having given Bollywood the evergreen melody of Kate Nahin Kat Te, the singer became a link that connected youth with classic Hindi songs. Chinai recalled working with Kishore Kumar on Kate Nahin Kat Te for Mr India. Alisha told us, “I'm very fortunate and honoured to get the chance to meet him. The experience was extraordinary. I was nervous because he was such a big legend. I was singing Kate Nahin Kat Te for the first time. He was there at Mehboob Studios. Normally, you don't have artistes with you in the dubbing theatre these days, but that was the magic of the old days. I rehearsed the song much earlier. He just came there and sang it like, Oh My God. He just killed it. I was blown away by his voice and even how he would just clown around. He was trying to make me laugh and I was giggling away. But I had to be serious because the song was very romantic and oomph-y.” She further added, “I've grown up listening to his songs. The funny ones with Madhubala, particularly. I remember all of them, especially Padosan. I always have those on repeat. They were all hysterical. He was such a multi-talented artiste. He is a once-in-a-lifetime artiste. That whole era of Lataji, Ashaji, Mohd Rafi, Mukesh. Where do you get artistes who have that kind of staying power? Now it's very different. The whole scene is very different now.”
