Mumbai, July 30 (IANS) Bollywood veteran actress Jaya Prada opened up about the self doubt she experienced prior to filming her iconic song, ‘De De Pyaar De’, and revealed how she couldn’t sleep the night before the shoot of the song.
The actress who appeared on the dance reality show, India’s Best Dancer, said, “Asal mein, zyada expressions ke saath hi original mein tha. Isme Meena joh hain which was my character in the film, yeh gaane mein woh modern dress mein dikhti hain. Uss raat mujhe, Prakash Mehra joh director hain uss film ke unhone kaha tha ki aapko yeh sequence mein modern dress mein rehna hoga.”

(In truth, the original was filled with intense expressions. In this song, Meena which was my character in the film, appears in a modern outfit. That night, Prakash Mehra, the director of the film, told me that I had to wear a modern dress for this sequence. So all night I was extremely anxious about looking so glamorous, wondering how I would look because I knew how I looked in traditional Indian attire, but here I had to wear a modern dress and perform impressively in the shot)
She concluded by saying, “Kamaal ka beat hain isme, main hamesha tension mein raat bhar main soch rahi thi. Phir finally uske baad shooting hui aur voh song aisa hain ki raat mein Amit ji mujhe dhoondhte hain and all toh it was more like an intensive love expression.”
(The song has incredible beats, and I was continuously anxious and thinking about it all night. Then finally, the shoot took place. The song is such that Amit ji is looking for me in the night, so it was more like an intense expression of love)
