The beloved film Love Story, starring Kumar Gaurav and Vijayta Pandit, marked its 45th anniversary on February 27, with its music by RD Burman still resonating with audiences. Singer Amit Kumar, whose popularity soared after his work on the film, shared a surprising anecdote in a throwback interview. He revealed that RD Burman, also known as Pancham, had a strong dislike for the song 'Yaad Aa Rahi Hai', which became Amit Kumar's most significant hit. Pancham even described the song as 'bakwaas,' feeling it sounded more like a devotional hymn than a love song.
Despite RD Burman's initial criticism, 'Yaad Aa Rahi Hai' achieved massive success, marking a comeback for Pancham in the industry. Amit Kumar's favorite track from the film was 'Kaisa Tera Pyar Kaisa Gussa,' a duet with Lata Mangeshkar. The recording of the first song, 'Yeh Ladki Zara Si Deewani Lagti Hai' with Asha Bhosle, was a memorable event, attended by film stalwarts like Raj Kapoor and Kishore Kumar, creating a jovial atmosphere.
