Sudden flashback seeing this thread. My dance partner during college days was my actual ‘mera pehla pyaar adhoora reh gaya’ types. I crushed on this guy so hard but thankfully I was never the type to gush for anyone to catch on. He was tall, slim and an absolute charmer. Those are the ones you watch out for, girls.😆He always had a way with words, such a sweet/smooth talker and an even better dancer, plus surprisingly good amateur singer. So when we’d meet weekly for this annual show prep, he’d serenade me every week with 80’s and 90’s Bollywood music. He wouldn’t skip a single lyric. He’d even tell you this song was song #3 on side B of the cassette.😆I mean I don’t know too many guys from my generation who know about Rafi, let alone sing his songs! My filmy self fell for him.🤦🏽♀️
It was worse because we had a romantic dance for the show where we were the main couple and he’d literally look aankhon hi aankhon mein and sing and dance along. For him, he was probably just getting in to the song, but I was going crazy inside. To cut a whole long story short, soon found out he was already in a relationship at the time and years later, he asked to meet for dinner/drinks and as charming as he still was, couldn’t help but be grateful things didn’t work out! God surely works in mysterious ways!
