If you ask me the Three Magical words, it would be SPB rather than ‘I Love You’, it is the magic of this Legendary Singer for various reasons. We have lost this Musical Soul on 25th September 2020 due to COVID 19 as his condition deteriorated further and he suffered a cardio-respiratory arrest. May his soul Rest in Peace. Sripathi Panditaradhyula Balasubrahmaniam, recipient of civilian awards such as Padma Shri (2001) and Padma Bhushan (2011) has garnered six National Film Awards for Best Male Playback Singer for his works in four different languages; Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi. He has recorded over 40000 songs in 16 Indian languages. It’s a world record that will be soon entering into the Guinness Book of World Records. Blown already? Just wait for the next one, SPB once recorded 21 songs in a span of 12 hours for Kannada composer Upendra Kumar!!!

Well, I don’t understand other languages but his Bollywood melodies got right into my veins, the moment I have listened to them. He was popularly known as the voice of Salman Khan. But, he doesn’t even know the Hindi language. The Lyrics were given to him in Tamil or Telugu, he then used to sing the song. Now, You must agree, why I said him magical, or I have to say more? (Aap Convince ho Gaye, ya Main Aur Bolu).

Jokes aside, Today, I am going to tell you stages of a love story through his 5 Superhit Bollywood Songs.

Pehla Pehla Pyar Hai — Hum Apke Hain Koun

It’s a very Old School feeling of falling in love for the first time. This song did justice to that feeling. The pure and innocent feeling of First love is best described in ‘Chhup ke Kare jo Wafa, aisa Mera yaar hai’. The First stage of any love story is obviously Falling in love for the first time. Listening to this song makes me wonder when will someone sing ‘Woh hai Nisha, Woh hi meri Zindagi ki Bhor hai’ for me.

2. Dil Deewana — Maine Pyar Kia

When we are madly in love, how can our Dil not become Deewana? Here comes the second stage, when our heart craves for that someone special. The stage where we make promises of forever, promises to fight for our Love, and whatnot. No matter how hard you try not to do those stupid cute things, there is no way back as ‘Yeh Pagla hai, Samjhane Se Samjhe Na’.

3. Mujhse Juda Hokar — Hum Apke Hain Koun

There is a Saying, You only realize the importance of someone in your life, when they are not around/gone. It is very important to give someone the importance they deserve But in the matter of love, this importance is often earned by separation, it could be a forceful or situational one. Yeah, you guessed it right, the third stage is Separation, a painful and long but fruitful stage for the long run. If you are also going through this stage, trust me, this song will cheer you up and will make you realize, ‘Pal Bhar ki Judaai, Phir Laut Aana Hai’. Also, if the separation is due to a misunderstanding only listening to the song will not work, put the right efforts if you really want to make it last forever.

4. Maine Pyar Kiya — Maine Pyar Kiya

After you have experienced the separation and other hardships, You have either realized that she/he is the one or not the one. You are now more mature, clear, and stronger about your Love. If you have done that, listening ‘Dil Deke Dard-e-Mohabbat Liya Hai, Soch Samjhke Yeh Sauda Kiya Hai’ will give you goosebumps for sure. Now you are in Stage Four which is Declaration, you make it clear to everyone about whom you want for life and will do anything for that. Surely, you have to convince a lot of people to pass this stage but once you do that, you will get THE ONE FOR LIFE.

5. Wah Wah Ram Ji — Hum Apke Hain Koun

Kudos to you, as you have made it to the Final Stage which is Acceptance. Now just Celebrate your win with this song. Make your love official, exchange the Rings with blessings of family and friends.

I must say ‘Wah Wah Ram Ji, Jodi Kya Banayi’ for my readers that you have read it till here. I hope you will continue this Writing-Reading pair Always.
