At first he came to the studio for a completely different musical work.Talking to IANS, the singer revealed, “Main iss gaane ka hissa hi nahi tha pehele. Main gaya tha ye ‘Dham dham dharam dharaiya re, sab se bade ladaiya re, omkara hey omkara’ gaane.” (Initially I was not a part of this song. I went to sing ‘Dham dha dharam dharaiya re, sab se bade ladaiya re, omkara hey omkara’.)The course of the song was completely changed during the session due to a spontaneous suggestion of the legendary lyricist. Gulzar. Sukhwinder detailed the exact moment the decision was made:“Gulzar sahab ne Vishal ji ko kaha ki, isko ek line de do, mere khayal se bass istna hi kafi hai, ‘Naa ghilaaf, Naa lihaaf, Thandi hawa bhi khilaf Sasuri’ bass phir vapis ek line aur ‘Itni sardi hai kisi ka lihaaf pados lei lay, lay, lay, lay’ aur pass mai take bass, abb unhone kha ek kaam karo pura hi gaana ga do, to aise duet ban gay.” (Gulzar sahab asked Vishal ji to give a line in the song, he probably thought it was enough, ‘Naa ghilaaf, Naa lihaaf, Thandi hawa bhi khilaf Sasuri’. Then they added, “Itni sardi hai kisi ka lihaaf lei lay, Jaa padosi ke chulhe se aag lei lay,” ye hai unke aur pass mai take bass, and finally he said, “Do one thing, sing the whole song.” And that’s how this duet was made. )
