While Aishwarya Rai is globally celebrated as an exceptionally talented actress, a memorable throwback appearance on the iconic chat show 'Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai' showcased a lesser-known facet of her artistry: her impressive singing prowess. The episode, which has recently resurfaced in public memory, featured not only Aishwarya but also the gracious host Farooq Sheikh and actor Chandrachur Singh, who added to the entertainment by sharing some delightful behind-the-scenes secrets from their time working together.
Chandrachur Singh's Revelation About Aishwarya's Talent
During the engaging conversation, host Farooq Sheikh prompted Chandrachur Singh to recount an amusing anecdote from the sets of their film 'Josh'. In response, Chandrachur revealed a surprising fact that has remained largely unknown to the public. He enthusiastically stated, "She is a very good singer. Not many people know that," highlighting Aishwarya's vocal abilities. This candid admission sparked a playful exchange, with Aishwarya modestly deflecting the praise by claiming that, in reality, it was Chandrachur who possessed the superior singing skills.
A Melodious Performance That Captivated the Audience
Encouraged by Farooq Sheikh, both stars eventually agreed to demonstrate their talents. After some gentle persuasion, Aishwarya gracefully consented to sing. She chose a poignant line from her Bollywood debut film, 'Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya', opposite Bobby Deol, delivering the heartfelt lyrics: "Meri saaso main basa hain tera hi ek naam. Teri yaad humsafar subah o shaam." Her rendition was met with admiration, and soon after, Chandrachur joined her for a harmonious duet, creating a magical moment that left everyone on set and viewers in awe of their combined musical chemistry.
Chandrachur's Heartfelt Praise for Aishwarya Rai
Beyond the musical interlude, the episode delved into deeper reflections on their professional collaboration. When asked to share his experience of working with Aishwarya, Chandrachur did not hold back in his admiration. He lauded the former beauty queen, describing her as a genuinely beautiful person both inside and out. "I think Aishwarya is a very beautiful person from the inside out. A very good human being, and she is just too good to work with. It has been a great privilege working with her. I really enjoyed myself. A very kind, a very sensitive human being," he expressed, underscoring the respect and fondness he holds for his co-star.
Recalling the Iconic Film 'Josh'
Directed by Mansoor Khan, the 2000 romantic musical 'Josh' boasted a stellar cast including Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Chandrachur Singh, Sharad Kapoor, and Priya Gill. The film presented an interesting dynamic, with Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya portraying siblings, while Aishwarya and Chandrachur were romantically paired, adding layers to their on-screen and off-screen camaraderie. This episode of 'Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai' not only highlighted Aishwarya's hidden talents but also revived nostalgic memories of this beloved Bollywood classic.
