Dil De Diya Hai SENSATION Anand Raaj Anand

Anand Raj Anand joins Faridoon Shahryar for a heartfelt Legacy Conversation, reflecting on his remarkable musical journey and some of his most memorable songs including Dil de diya hai from Masti. He opens up about how Kaante initially did not have songs, and how he insisted that Sanjay Gupta listen to his compositions — a moment that eventually led to the creation of some unforgettable tracks for the film. Anand Raj Anand also speaks candidly about being “all heart,” his discomfort with aggressive marketing, and how Feroz Khan Sahab played an important role in helping him get some wonderful opportunities in the industry. A warm, honest and musical conversation. About our Sponsor Symbian Health Saving lives. Advancing healthcare.
