Helen remembers legendary Shammi Kapoor on 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa'

Riding on the trend of inviting legendary faces on special episodes, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa did the same as it has yesteryear actor and performer Helen coming in for a special episode. And while it was indeed all about her, she went on t remember another legend in the form of late Shammi Kapoor.

As expected, the contestants went on to give power-packed performances on her famous songs and dance numbers. 

While each of them have given their best it was Vraj and Rajashri's dance moves on the song 'O Haseena Zulfonwali Jane Jahan' from the film 'Teesri Manzil', that took Helen down memory lane.

Feeling nostalgic after witnessing Vraj and Rajashri's performance, Helen said: "Such a beautiful performance! I just went down memory lane, and it reminded me of Shammi Ji today. Shammi Ji, are you listening?. If he would have been here, he would have been so happy after seeing your performance."

She recalled working with the late actor and continued: "We both have worked in a lot of films together but let me tell you, he was a prankster, he used to make us all laugh on set. We have done rehearsals for this song around 8 to 10 times, and Shammi Ji had his style. He never used to do any rehearsals."

When Helen's husband and screenwriter Salim Khan made an appearance in the video, she reminisced how even he was part of the famous track 'O Haseena Zulfonwali Jane Jahan' and played drums on it.

She further added: "Salim Saab played a small role, too. He can be seen as Shammi Kapoor's musician friend in the film, and he also played the drums for the song 'O Haseena Zulfonwali Jane Jahan'."
