In a heartwarming revelation that shows Shah Rukh Khan never forgets good music, composer Jatin Pandit has shared an incredible anecdote about the superstar's appreciation for the timeless Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge song 'Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Main'.
The legendary music composer recently disclosed that King Khan himself made a personal phone call to praise the beautiful melody, proving that some songs truly stand the test of time in Bollywood history.
The Unexpected Phone Call
Jatin Pandit, one half of the famous composer duo Jatin-Lalit, expressed his surprise and delight when Shah Rukh Khan reached out to him directly. "Kya gaana banaya hai" (What a song you've created) were the words of appreciation that came from the megastar himself.
This unexpected gesture decades after the film's release demonstrates SRK's genuine love for the music that made DDLJ the iconic romance that continues to capture hearts across generations.
A Testament to Timeless Music
The song 'Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Main', featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol at their romantic best, has remained a fan favorite since the film's release in 1995. Composed by Jatin-Lalit with lyrics by Anand Bakshi, the track perfectly captured the essence of young love and adventure.
What makes this story particularly special is that even after achieving global stardom and decades of success, Shah Rukh Khan took the time to acknowledge the creative minds behind one of his most beloved films.
The Legacy of DDLJ Continues
This revelation comes as:
- DDLJ completes over 28 years of continuous running at Mumbai's Maratha Mandir theater
- New generations continue to discover the magic of Raj and Simran's love story
- The film's music remains as popular as ever on streaming platforms
Jatin Pandit's account serves as a beautiful reminder that in the fast-paced world of Bollywood, genuine appreciation and recognition never go out of style.
