Amitabh Bachchan shares a conversation he had with Bappi Lahiri at an airport in London- “Slowly they all leave us”
Musician Bappi Lahiri's demise on Tuesday, February 15 has left his admirers in mourning. Remembering him, actor Amitabh Bachchan said that the songs the late singer-composer gave for his films are remembered even after decades.
Amitabh took to his blog and said that he was shocked and surprised by the singer's death. "Bappi Lahiri .. music director extraordinaire passes away .. shocked and surprised and in the misery of these tragic events of ‘passing’ in the rapid succession of times. His songs of films with me are and shall I believe remain eternal .. they are played hummed and sung along in these modern generation times with alacrity and rejoice," he wrote.
Amitabh further recalled a conversation he had with Bappi Lahiri at London's Heathrow airport when they were on their way back to Mumbai. "'This film is going to be very successful and the song I just gave, shall be remembered for ages'. He was right... and learning the graphs of some, at his modest home, in rehearsal, an even greater experience. Slowly they all leave us," he added.
Bappi Lahiri had composed several chartbusters for Amitabh for films like Namak Halaal(1982) and Sharaabi (1984). Their hit tracks include ‘Thodi Si Jo Pee Li Hai’, ‘Jahan Chaar Yaar’, ‘De De Pyaar De’, ‘Raat Baaki Baat Baaki’, ‘Inteha Ho Gai Intezar Ki’, among others. The two last worked together in the 1990 crime drama Aaj Ka Arjun which had songs like ‘Gori Hai Kalaiyaan’, ‘Tu Laade Mujhe Hai Hari Chudiyan’.
