Chain se humko kabhi.. Asha classic..... Cover by Alok

Chain se hamko kabhi...... 1972
Last song ever between OP Nayyar and Asha Bhosle.... Before they fell out personally and professionally... Never to work together again.
Such a poignant and
eerily prophetic song!
But never became part of the film 'Pran jaye par vachan na jaye' ....not even picturised.
Just became a spectacular private hit..... And a milestone creation.
Knowledge that OP would no longer compose for his Asha lent a tone and a tang all its own to the wording....
Aap Ne Jo Hai Diya Woh Toh Kisine Na Diya
Incidentally, Chain Se Humko Kabhi went on to win Asha Bhosle the Filmfare Award for Best Playback Singer (Female) at the 22nd Filmfare Awards held in 1975.
Bhosle did not turn up to pick up the award, which was, ironically, received by OP Nayyar.
It is even said that he threw away the award from his car post the Awards function and heard it break as it hit the ground.
Listening to the song and seeing how beautifully Bhosle has sung it, the biggest loss is that of the filmgoers to see this song filmed on the big screen. Still, it never fails to remind us as to what incredible heights Asha Bhosle and OP Nayyar could achieve when both were on song 👍
