In an upcoming episode of 'India's Best Dancer Season 5,' Jaaved Jaaferi offered a behind-the-scenes look at the iconic song 'Roop Tera Mastana' from the film 'Aradhana.' He revealed that the song's initial composition by S.D. Burman was folk-based.

Filming presented its own challenges, as Sharmila Tagore had limited availability. Her entire dance sequence was reportedly captured within a single day due to her packed schedule. Jaaved Jaaferi noted that the song's recording and shooting involved numerous last-minute changes.
Despite these pressures, Jaaved Jaaferi believes the final result was fantastic, suggesting that working under tight deadlines can often enhance creative output. The song, featuring Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore, became a significant milestone in Hindi cinema.
