During a conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Alka mentioned that ‘Choli Ke Peeche’ has remained immensely popular over the years and continues to be cherished by audiences.
She highlighted that she often performs the song at her concerts, as it remains a favorite among fans. Alka acknowledged the remix version of the song, stating that while it incorporates new elements like rap, she is supportive of the evolving trends in music.
Reflecting on the recording session, Alka reminisced that initially, she didn’t pay much attention to her lines. However, when Ila began the song with the iconic line “Choli ke peeche kya hai?”, Alka recognized the playful nature of the song. She described the recording process as enjoyable, recalling laughter-filled moments during the live recording session where they both sang together.
Alka Yagnik noted that despite the song’s “naughty and mischievous” nature, she was confident it wouldn’t be portrayed in a “vulgar manner.” With Subhash Ghai overseeing the song, Laxmikant Pyarelal composing the music,
Anand Bakshi
penning the lyrics, and
Madhuri Dixit
on screen, she trusted their responsible handling. She believed they would present it aesthetically and cutely, which indeed proved true, anticipating the song’s significant impact.
