This is Lata’s second solo number in the film Padosan (1968). It is interesting to note that there are no male-female duets in the film. The hero and heroine do not get any chance to sing with each other. No, not even across the street from their respective windows.

I was looking for details regarding this song in the Database at mohdrafi.com, so not paying much attention to the radio playing. As the words of the poem registered, it caught my attention.
