The personality personified in these two lines “Dil Hai Hamaara Phool Se Naazuk, Baazu Hain Faulaad” – that is the image of Dara Singh that I have always carried with me. A childhood hero, a super powerful man, who was always friendly and helpful for the needy, and was a scourge for the baddies.

Looking for something else, I bumped into this song just a little while ago. I had not heard this song before. And in just one listen, I am completely bowled over.
