Remember Vijayta Pandit! She was the beautiful and bubbly actress of the super duper hit film 'Love Story'. Though one hasn't seen her much after that in films, she really surprises us all returning to the mike after decades with Kalpana Lajmi's 'Chingaari'. She couldn't just turn down the request of the director. Vijayta Pandit emerges as a singer scoring for the number 'Dulhan dulhan'. She was assigned the wedding song that was initially sung by Alka Yagnik and had to redo it. The re-recording had to be done on the insistence of Kalpana Lajmi. Alka Yagnik says that she was actually supposed to do the song but since she was busy Vijayta stepped in her shoes to dub for it. She did sing the song afterwards but Vijayta's version was retained. But she doesn't have any problem with that.

Many are not aware that Vijayta Pandit has actually music running through her genes. Her family is a mix of musicians and singers. Composers duo Jatin and Lalit are her brother. Singer-actress Sulakshana Pundit is actually her sister. And she is married to one of the popular composers Aadesh Srivastava. 'Dulhan dulhan' the song from Chingari is not the first song that she has rendered. Formerly she has already given her vocals for the popular song 'Pehla nasha' with Udit Narayan in 'Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar'. She has also sung many songs that were later dubbed by Alka Yagnik and Sadhana Sargam. But today she has dubbed a song that has actually sung by Alkaji and it is no less than an achievement of sorts for her.

On her new stance Vijayta Pandit speaks that she has discovered a new identity after doing the song. Though she has massive films like 'Love Story' and 'Mohabbat' to her credit, she doesn't reckon herself much of an actress today. She has always been passionate towards singing.
