She told a prominent newspaper that it was an amazing sensation to learn that the Hare Rama Hare Krishna song from 1971 was still relevant. ‘Wow! 1971 music still resonating after 40 years! What a song!’ she was quoted as saying.
Zeenat Aman also stated that she had no clue the song would become so popular at the time. ‘The film was shot in Kathmandu and when I frankly heard this song for the first time, I loved it but surely didn’t expect it to become such a mammoth chartbuster. They all talk to me about this when I am at any music event even today.’
