The mentor host this season, Udit Narayana, while reliving his memories shared a memory that was a turning point in his life.
Udit said, “Year 1993 was a turning point in my career. Yash Chopra sahab was directing Darr and they were looking for a voice that would suit the hero. Someone suggested, ‘Why not try the singer of Papa Kehte Hain and Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak?’ That’s how I got the call. I was thrilled that I never imagined I’d get an opportunity with Yash Chopra ji and Yash Raj Films. I recorded Jaadu Teri Nazar, initially thinking it was for Aamir Khan. Later, when Shah Rukh Khan came on board, everyone felt the voice fitted perfectly. That’s how I became part of the iconic film.”
