The Original Kaanta Laga Girl: ‘It Was My Good Fortune That The Big Hit Song Came To Me’

Ashaji recalls Kaanta laga as an upbeat folk dance number Ā composed by Rahul Dev Burman. ā€œIt was peppy andĀ catchy. We wereĀ all humming theĀ  song when shooting it. But did I think it would become such aĀ rage in retrospect? No!Ā Success on that level cannot be predicted by anyone. I rememberĀ the songĀ Maar diya jaye keĀ chhorĀ diya jayeĀ in myĀ filmĀ Mera Gaon Mera Desh.Ā That too becameĀ such craze, although Lataji’s otherĀ  songsĀ  in the film were alsoĀ outstanding.ā€
