"Shammi ji had his style and he never used to rehearse” reveals Helen

Zee TV recently returned with its longest-running singing reality show—Sa Re Ga Ma Pa 2021. The latest episode of the show had veteran actor-dancer Helen as a special guest. With Helen as a guest, each contestant put on their best show, but it was Vraj and Rajashri’s power-packed performance to the song O Haseena Zulfonwali Jane Jahan from the film Teesri Manzil that left Helen spellbound.

Helen shared an untold story about the late actor Shammi Kapoor and her husband Salim Khan making an appearance in the film.

Helen said, “I just went down the memory lane, and it reminded me of Shammi Ji today. If he would have been here, he would have been so happy after seeing your performance. We both have worked in many films together but let me tell you, he was a prankster, he used to make us all laugh on the sets. We did rehearsals for this song around 8-10 times and Shammi ji had his style. He never used to do any rehearsals. 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.”
