Javed Akhtar told me about an incident that Pandit Jasraj narrated to him .In the 1950s Pandit Jasraj was in Amritsar when he went to meet the classical genius Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan who was his God.
When Pandit Jasraj got chatting Bade Ghulam Ali Saab suddenly told the young man to keep quiet. He heard the sound of the young Lata Mangeshkar singing the supremely romantic Yeh zindagi usski ki hai from Anarkali. Bade Ghulam Ali Khan was enraptured. He finally said,‘Kambhakt, kabhi besuri hoti hi nahin.’ .But which of her songs does Lataji choose as her most romantic?
