Though I knew Mera Laung Gawacha was recreated by Bally Sagoo, I was today years old when I read that it was a recreation of Pakistani singer Musarrat Nazir’s song of the same name.
The song, without
which no Punjabi wedding is complete, appeared on the British DJ’s album Star
Crazy.
And a Hindi film
version of it featured on the soundtrack of Naag Mani.
Both of them
released in 1991.
The lady who lent the
latter her voice was Anuradha Paudwal.
The song, which
was written by Dev Kohli, was composed by Anu Malik.
