“We did a hit film together in the 1960s Mere Humdam Mere Dost, where she was the second lead. Mehnat se woh top heroine bann gayi. In the 1970s, we did two very good films together, Jheel Ke Uss Paar and Loafer. Loafer’s songs were big hits. ‘Aaj mausam bada beimaan hai’ is hummed to this day.”
Dance Deewane 3 is being currently hosted by Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa and judged by Madhuri Dixit, Dharmesh Yelande and Tushar Kalia.
