‘He
had
wanted
to
present
me
in
the
likes
of
the
heroines
of
the
60s
whose
churidar-kurta
look
with
winged
eyeliner
and
bouffant
had
captivated
fashionistas
at
the
time.’
Zeenat
Aman
goes
down
memory
lane
and
shares
a
video
of
her
song
Chura
Liya
Hai
Tumne
Jo
Dil
Ko
from
the
film
Yaadon
Ki
Baaraat
along
with
Vijay
Arora
and
writes
about
the
making
of
the
song.
‘The
clinking
of
the
wine
glasses,
the
sensuous
lyrics,
the
ivory
culottes
and
black
choker…
Chura
Liya
inadvertently
became
something
of
my
theme
song.
‘Any
event
I’ve
ever
attended
anywhere
in
the
world
has
leaned
on
it
for
a
gimmick
or
two.
The
song’s
familiar
riff
has
been
played
upon
my
entrance,
or
I’ve
had
a
guitar
thrust
into
my
hands
to
mime
my
moves
from
the
video,
or
found
two
empty
wine
glasses
waiting
on
the
table
to
be
knocked
together…
you
get
my
drift.’
‘An
early
‘masala’
film
Yaadon
ki
Baaraat
featured
an
ensemble
cast
(that
included
Dharmendra,
Neetu
Singh,
and
Vijay
Arora
who
played
my
love
interest),
was
written
by
the
formidable
duo
of
Salim-Javed,
and
directed
by
the
wonderful
Nasir
Hussain.
‘Those
of
you
who
actually
saw
the
film,
may
have
noticed
that
in
the
scene
preceding
the
song,
I’m
wearing
a
tight
pink
salwar
kameez
before
magically
appearing
in
the
white
number
that
set
such
a
trend.
‘I’m
quite
happy
to
take
credit
for
that
outfit
change
because
I
had
to
fight
Nasir
Saab
for
it!
He
had
wanted
to
present
me
in
the
likes
of
the
heroines
of
the
60s
whose
churidar-kurta
look
with
winged
eyeliner
and
bouffant
had
captivated
fashionistas
at
the
time.
‘I
personally
felt
gawky
in
the
original
outfit
and
was
keen
on
wearing
something
more
true
to
my
own
style.
Fortunately
my
director
was
agreeable,
and
so
it
was
that
the
ivory
culottes
and
centre
parting
were
allowed.’
‘Once
the
film
released,
the
song
took
on
a
life
of
its
own
and
I
think
I
can
safely
say
it’s
cemented
a
place
on
the
list
of
most
loved
Hindi
film
songs
of
all
time.
It
shouldn’t
be
too
much
of
a
surprise
though.
‘After
all,
the
music
director
of
the
film
was
the
great
R
D
Burman,
Chura
Liya
was
written
by
lyricist
Majrooh
Sultanpuri,
and
sung
by
none
other
than
Asha
Bhosle
and
Mohammad
Rafi.
I
believe
Ashaji
herself
chose
it
as
one
of
her
favourites!’
‘Do
you
have
a
memory
associated
with
this
song
or
film?
I’d
love
if
you
would
share
it
in
the
comments.’
‘P.S:
Read
those
lyrics!
They’re
exquisite.’
‘PPS:
I
found
this
video
online,
no
copyright
infringement
is
intended.’
Here
are
the
lyrics
for
the
beautiful
song
sung
by
Ashaji
and
Rafi
saab.
