Speaking to India Today when Jhumka Gira Re’s OG singer Asha Bhosle was asked about the remix song ‘What Jhumka?’ in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, she called out music directors for not being able to bring anything new. She said, “If the music directors had the ability, or the singers, to bring something new… they don’t have the ability, that’s why they are recreating old songs.” Adding, “For example, today ‘Jhumka Gira Re’ is working so well. It has come in a new film. It is an old song.”

Asha Bhosle further added, “These songs have lyrics, singers and music. It’s a combination of everything. And not just that, even the actors. If the cinematographer had not shot the songs well, the picturisation wouldn’t have left an impact. It’s a team effort. That’s how you make a good song.”

“A lot of hard work went into those songs. The lyricist would sit down with the composer. They would discuss every word. Even the biggest lyricists would fight for every word. ‘I don’t want this word, I want that word’. Both sides worked hard,” concludes Asha Bhosle.
