Not all iconic songs start with instant love. In the case of Ankhiyan Milaoon Kabhi from the 1995 film Raja, it took a clash between two Bollywood greats—choreographer Saroj Khan and composer Nadeem—to create what is now considered one of the most memorable dance numbers of the era. In a recent appearance on The Ashok Pandit Show, lyricist Sameer revealed that Saroj had a strong initial reaction to the song 'Ankhiyan Milaoon Kabhi' during its recording at Sunny Sound studio. Surprised by its minimal arrangement, she questioned composer Nadeem's choice to use just one instrument, wondering how she could choreograph such a track. At the time, composer Nadeem—part of the legendary Nadeem-Shravan duo—was at the height of his success. Sameer shared that when Saroj Khan expressed her doubts, Nadeem firmly reminded her that her role was to choreograph, not choose songs. He confidently stated that the track would remain unchanged, regardless of who stayed on the project. The exchange didn't end with Nadeem's remark. According to Sameer, Saroj Khan stormed out of the studio, visibly upset. She reportedly lashed out at Nadeem, questioning his attitude, and declared with determination, 'Send me the song—I'll show you what I can do,' setting the stage for one of the most iconic choreographies of her career. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không?
