Thanks to Music Director Late Sachin Dev Burman, Playback Singer / Actress Late Amirbai Karnataki and Lyricist Late Yashodanandan Joshi for this melodius divine / gem from the 1948 Classic "Vidya".

This film indeed portayed a clean respectable "Devar" and "Bhabhi" relationship.

Nevertheless such gems may never be composed again; but at the most we can do our best to preserve this treasure. Hope our present generation values it.

Thanks for posting this beautiful number.

Prashant L. Nemani.

A devotional song by Amirbai. What a great upload.Though there are little songs in her credit but all are gems.I can see originality in her voice.She seems very sincere with her art. some of her songs have no parallel. Such people are born once in a century. Thanks for the upload.
