This song is not one that too many people may have heard before. Those who hear this song for the first time will immediately exclaim that the song has the same tune as Ho leke pahla pahla pyaar (CID) . As it is, the composer is the same for both the songs, but as for being the original, this song is the original and the better known song from CID is the inspired song.

‘Born with a silver spoon’ is a phrase which has often been used with reference to a person born in a rich family. It would not be out of place if If I coin a similar pharse ‘born with the golden Hindi film songs’ with reference to Bharat Bhushan and Pradeep Kumar. They were blessed with the best of the songs of the golden era by picturising on them. There was not much to talk about their acting capabilities but they were so lucky in their filmy career that they paired with some of the most prolific heroines with their impeachable acting capabilities. No doubt, most of their films became the box office hits. They are known today even to the new generation mainly because of the songs they got to sing on the screen rather than for their acting ability.
