Singing for their supper!-Vikas

Singing for their supper!

The title tracks of certain television serials have become some of the biggest melodies in recent times. So much so, that they've been turned into ring tones, caller tunes and even sell as records. But do the actors actually know the title tracks of their shows? Sandipan Dalal puts them to the test!

Shweta Tiwari
Show: Kasautii Zindagii Kay
Right track: Yeh aksar toot jaate hai
Kabhi asoon bahate hai
Kabhi chalte hai sahera main
Phir bhi muskurate hai...
Record tod: Yesh aksar toot jaate hai
Kabhi asoon bahate hai
Kabhi chalte hai sahera main
Phir muskurate hai...
Our impression: Shweta knows best. The actress loves to sing the theme song during her leisure hours. So it was not a tough task to crack.

Rakshanda Khan
Show: Jodee Kamal Ki
Right track: Aiyi sitaron ki jodee wali raat hai
Tarein hai yeh, humein pyaare hain yeh
Honewali hai kuch aisi waisi baat re
Hum aise inkon na jaaane denge…
Record tod: (First attempt) Aiyi sitaron ki jodee wali raat hai
Tarein hai yeh… kuch aisi waise baat re…
Asks for a second chance
(Second attempt) Tarein hai yeh humein pyare hai yeh…
(The actress mumbles a few words and then goes blank.)
Our impression: The hesitant actress takes up the task. However, after much humming and brooding, she fails to get the right lines. When provided with the right lyrics, a seemingly embarrassed Rakshanda offers a few smiles.

Vikas Bhalla
Show: Shanno Ki Shaadi
Right track: Ek kudi ki hai yeh kahani,
Oh chadti jawani, oh aankh mastani hai
Dil pe raj kare ghar pe rani hai
Nazar na lage ise ki yeh marjani hai…
Record tod: Ek kudi ki hai yeh kahani,
Oh chadti jawani, oh aankh mastani hai
Dil pe raj kare ghar pe rani hai…
(He forgets the next line.)
Our impression: At the outset, he refused to take up the challenge but after much coaxing, he agreed to do it. Known for his daily riyaz in his car, this actor and singer did manage to rattle a few lines.

Anita Hassanandani
Show: Kavyanjali
Right track: Woh mile the, yun mile the
Dekhne bas unhe waqt bhi ruk gaya
Woh pyar tha choone jise ek pal ke liye aasma jhook gaya…
Record tod: Woh mile the, yun mile the…
Our impression: This leading lady has conveniently forgotten the theme song of the show now that it's nearing the finishing line. Considering that the show made her a household name, she would have done good to remember a few lines.

Mansi Parekh
Show: India Calling
Right track: Ain zameen pairon ke talen jo
Aasman bhi touch kar lengi
I believe khud pe jo ainkeen ho
Chaand bina bhi hum ji lenge
Chali main, chali main…
Record tod: Ain zameen pairon ke talen jo
Aasman bhi touch kar lengi
I believe khud pe jo ainkeen ho
Chaand bina bhi hum ji lenge
Chali main, chali main…
Our impression: It's a lesser-known fact that Mansi was a finalist for the pop band, Aasma. So she readily takes up the task and sings out the theme song in her melodious voice. Thumbs up!

Cezanne Khan
Show: Kasautii Zindagii Kay
Right track: Chahat ke safar mein
Dilon ke hauslen dekho
Yeh aksar toot jaate hai
Kabhi asoon bahate hai…
Record tod: Chahat ke safar mein
Dilon ke hauslen dekho
Yeh aksar toot jaate hai
Kabhi asoon bahate hai…
Our impression: Over the years this actor has mastered the title track of his only show on television. He remarks, "It's so easy. How can you even think of me not remembering these beautiful lines?"

Iqbal Khan
Show: Kaisa Ye Pyar Hai
Right track: Andekhi anjani kya ye mohabbat hai
Chupke se milti dillon ki ye chaahat hai…
Record tod: Andekhi anjani kya ye mohabbat hai
Chupke se...dillon ki ye chaahat hai…
Our impression: This actor surely loves taking up challenges. He takes a few seconds to recapitulate the lyrics and then sings it aloud.
