Geeta Kapur recalls late mother singing Shashi Kapoor's song as lullaby, gets emotional
"Maine yeh kabhi share nahi kiya, lekin meri mummy mujhe lori ke taur par yeh gaana gaati thi - Geeta Kapur"

Mumbai, April 4

The upcoming episode of Indian Idol will see choreographer Geeta Kapur gets emotional as contestant Abhishek Kumar delivers a soulful performance on a classic song associated with Shashi Kapoor.

Touched by the performance, judge Geeta Kapur who was seen in tears, said that she missed her mother especially after Abhishek sang the song, Tera Mujhse Hai Pehle Ka Naata Koi.

The choreographer revealed that the song played an integral part of her childhood as her mother would sing the same song as a lullaby to her when she was a kid.

"Maine yeh kabhi share nahi kiya, lekin meri mummy mujhe lori ke taur par yeh gaana gaati thi 'Tera mujhse hai pehle ka naata koi, yun hi nahi dil lubhaata koi... jahan poori duniya suraj hain, mera chanda hain tu.' Aaj yeh gaana sunke bahut saari yaadein wapas aa gayi," said Geeta.

Following this, host Aditya Narayan asked Karisma Kapoor to share her thoughts on the performance and about her Shashi Kapoor. Praising Abhishek, Karisma said, "Aapki simplicity aur jo thehraav hai aapki awaaz mein, woh bahut khoobsurat hai."

She further added, "Shashi ji ki personality bhi bilkul aisi hi thi bahut simple, lekin bahut impactful. Woh har cheez apni hi ada mein karte the. Not only was he a great actor, director, and producer, but also a passionate theatre personality."

Talking about the song, "Tera Mujhse Hai Pehle Ka Naata Koi" is from the film Aa Gale Lag Jaa.

The movie starred Shashi Kapoor and Sharmila Tagore in lead roles.

Sung by Kishore Kumar, the iconic song is remembered for its emotional melody and enduring appeal.

The film itself is one of Shashi Kapoor's notable romantic dramas from the 1970s.

Shashi Kapoor was a legend of a different era. So much grace and talent. And Kishore Kumar's voice in that song is pure magic. Good to see the younger generation appreciating these classics on shows like Indian Idol.

While the emotional moment is touching, I sometimes feel these reality shows overly dramatize personal stories for TRPs. The focus should remain on the contestant's performance. Abhishek sang well, that itself is the story.

"Aa Gale Lag Jaa" is such an underrated gem! Shashi Kapoor and Sharmila Tagore had fantastic chemistry. This article makes me want to go and watch the movie again. The songs from that era had soul.

It's lovely to see judges being vulnerable. We always see them as strict critics, but they are people with their own histories and emotions. More power to Geeta ma'am. And hats off to Abhishek for evoking such a pure reaction.
