"Itna chotasa aadmi aur itni badi awaaz!" remarked Rekhaji. We were at Mocha's sipping some steamy cappucino as Kunal Ganjawala recounted some of his treasured memories. "This was during the recording for the songs of Bachke Rehna Re Baba when Rekhaji paid a visit. I was recording for the sultry track, Tera Husn to be picturized on Mallika when the diva did a raincheck.
