This 30-year-old song created a huge fight between legendary choreographer Saroj Khan and Music director Nadeem, later became a blockbuster, the song is... In the ever-evolving world of Bollywood, many songs come and go, and some become overnight sensations, while others fade out quickly. One such story is of a song that came in the year 1995 but continues to resonate with the audience even today, and remains etched in the hearts of the public. The song that we are talking about is none other than 'Akhiyan Milaoon Kabhi Akhiyan Churaoon'. This song was featured in the film Raja, which starred Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Kapoor. But besides the major blockbuster that it became, the behind-the-scenes was filled with chaos, conflict, and a last-minute change. The film was recorded at Sunny Sound studio, and it was choreographed by legendary Saroj Khan. However, Saroj Khan didn't like the song when she first heard it. According to reports, she asked the music director, Nadeem, how he could come up with such a composition. She found it repetitive and monotonous; she refused to choreograph the number, saying, 'What should I even shoot on this?' This further led to a conflict between Saroj Khan and Nadeem. Nadeem was strong-headed about his composition, 'The song will remain as it is. Whether you stay or leave, this is the final version.' This made Saroj Khan really angry and she questioned Nadeem what he thought of himself. The situation got further exaggerated, and later, in an interview, the writer Sameer revealed that Nadeem was under the influence at the time and that Saroj was only doing her job of ensuring the choreography fit the vision of the song. However, what's interesting is that Saroj Khan eventually came around and said, 'Send the dancers. I'll show you what to do with this song'. The song that she rejected in a jiffy soon turned out to be a stunning choreographic masterpiece. The song featured Madhuri Dixit's graceful and sizzling dance moves with Sanjay Kapoor's high energy. This 5-minute 34-second song turned out to create a magic that remains untouched even today. Not only did this song become a blockbuster, but the iconic song also contributed significantly to the success of the film 'Raja'. Made on a humble budget of Rs. 4.25 crore, the film collected Rs. 34.68 crores globally. The iconic classic remains timeless and is on people's party playlists even today.

Did you know Saroj Khan fought with Nadeem over Raja song 'Ankhiyan Milaoon Kabhi'? 'Aapka kaam hai gana shoot karna, gana select kabse karne lagi aap?'
The song 'Ankhiyan Milaoon Kabhi' from the movie Raja faced initial conflict. Choreographer Saroj Khan doubted the song's simple music arrangement. Composer Nadeem stood firm on his creation. Khan challenged Nadeem and created iconic choreography. Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Kapoor starred in the song. The song became a major hit. It is now remembered as one of Khan's best works. Not all iconic songs start with instant love. In the case of Ankhiyan Milaoon Kabhi from the 1995 film Raja, it took a clash between two Bollywood greats—choreographer Saroj Khan and composer Nadeem—to create what is now considered one of the most memorable dance numbers of the era. In a recent appearance on The Ashok Pandit Show, lyricist Sameer revealed that Saroj had a strong initial reaction to the song 'Ankhiyan Milaoon Kabhi' during its recording at Sunny Sound studio. Surprised by its minimal arrangement, she questioned composer Nadeem's choice to use just one instrument, wondering how she could choreograph such a track. At the time, composer Nadeem—part of the legendary Nadeem-Shravan duo—was at the height of his success. Sameer shared that when Saroj Khan expressed her doubts, Nadeem firmly reminded her that her role was to choreograph, not choose songs. He confidently stated that the track would remain unchanged, regardless of who stayed on the project. The exchange didn't end with Nadeem's remark. According to Sameer, Saroj Khan stormed out of the studio, visibly upset. She reportedly lashed out at Nadeem, questioning his attitude, and declared with determination, 'Send me the song—I'll show you what I can do,' setting the stage for one of the most iconic choreographies of her career. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không?
