Rekha recreates her Parineeta magic

The iconic track, sung by Sunidhi Chauhan with music by Shantanu Moitra, was originally picturised on Rekha in Parineeta, which recently completed 20 years since its release. Rekha’s timeless charm brought the song back to life as she danced with her fellow stars. Shabana herself later joined in, making the moment even more memorable.

Directed by the late Pradeep Sarkar, Parineeta marked Vidya Balan’s Bollywood debut alongside Sanjay Dutt and Saif Ali Khan. Adapted from Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s 1914 novella, the film remains a classic for its literary depth and soulful music. The presence of Vidya at Shabana’s birthday bash only added to the emotional connect of the evening.
