\u201cAchcha, hasna bhi unhonein (Dada Burman ne) gaane mein (sikhaya). Pehli baar maine unke paas (hanske) gaaya. Shayad film mein hasne ka aisa aaya nahin tha. Aapko yaad hoga, \u2018Janu janu re, kaahe khanke hai tora kangana\u2019. Hai na usmein?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

(Sings)<\/em> ‘<\/em>Main bhi jaanu re, kaahe khanke hai tora kangana…’<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

To, yeh hansne ka tha\u2026, hanske saans lena. Hamesha hanske (baad mein) aadmi saans lete hai, kyonki hawa bahar nikal rahi hai na. Yeh sab unhonein tab yeh kiya tha\u2026, bataaya tha. Uske baad sab gaanon mein aane laga woh hansne ka. Lekin, Dada kuch nayi-nayi cheez sochte the.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

(Burman Dada taught me the skill of laughing while singing. That was the first time I used this technique of laughing in a song, which probably had not been attempted before. You might remember the song, Janu janu re, kahe khanke hai tora kangana\u2019 <\/em>(Insan Jag Utha<\/em> \u2013 (1959). Isn\u2019t it there!)<\/p>\n

(A person always inhales after laughing, as he had exhaled earlier. The art of breathing while laughing in a song was taught to me by Dada. Subsequently, this was followed by others. But, Dada would always think of something new.)<\/p>\n
