Amitabh Bachchan, Alka Yagnik (File Photo)
The eighties blockbuster film was unclaimed. It was produced and directed by Prakash Mehra. The film featured in the lead roles by Amitabh Bachchan, Zeenat Aman, Rakhi, Amjad Khan and Ranjit. Although many songs of this film were popular then, but a song was very popular in the house at that time. He was- what is your work in my limb… that song is still on the tongue of the people. Now he is also called a classic song. In my limb… there were many reasons for the popularity of the song. This song also has a different story of its own. But the important question is why this song was added to the name of Amitabh Bachchan, while this song was also sung by singer Alka Yagnik.
Alka was a completely new singer for Yagnik films around Assi. She was singing classical since childhood but only a few of her songs came in films. This song from the unclaimed film also proved to be a gamechanger for his career. Everyone praised him a lot. Although the song Ek .. Do… Three made him an overnight star in the film’s acid film, but it cannot be denied that the song has played a special role in making her identity.
She sung that song for Rakhi in unclaimed
Amitabh Bachchan’s character in the film’s story is unclaimed. After being young, he comes to know that he is an illegitimate child. He has no information about his parents. His character is named in the film-Heera. In the film, Rakhi bin marriage becomes a mother and the child whom she gives birth becomes Amitabh Bachchan as a diamond. Rakhi is an artist in the film and he sings first- what is your work in my limb… Joe is the same as the same is notorious… This song was sung by Alka Yagnik for Rakhi.

Alka Yagnik had no identity in the eighties. Lata Mangeshkar or Asha Bhosle was the most prominent personality for the heroines. But in my limb… for the female version of the song, composer couple Kalyanji Anand ji selected Alka Yagnik. Most of the songs in this film were in the voice of Kishore Kumar, just a couple song .. Kabke separated Hum Aaj Kahan Aaj Mile… In Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhosle gave voice with Kishore Kumar. Incidentally, in my limb… Asha Bhosle could not talk for the song, then Alka Yagnik got a chance. It became so popular that she too became famous.
When Amitabh Bachchan sung in a sari
Later in the story of the film, Amitabh Bachchan i.e. Heera comes in contact with Amjad Khan i.e. Ranveer Singh. During a cultural program in the story, Amitabh Bachchan performs many colorful saris on this song in a tremendous manner. The special thing is that Amitabh Bachchan also recorded this song in his voice. He performed so well on this song that for his fans it became a never -forgetting song. This was a new gift of Amitabh Bachchan for fans.
Alka also superhit like Amitabh
In every end of this song, whose wife is said to be long, sometimes short, sometimes thick, sometimes black, and sometimes white, and according to each end, Amitabh dances differently and dances people by wearing different types of makeup. This performance of Amitabh Bachchan at that time gained tremendous popularity. In Amitabh’s voice, this song created more miracles than Alka. Since this song is originally going to express male emotions, it was in line with a man’s voice. But this does not mean that Alka’s singing was less than anywhere. Alka was made a star by this song.
In the film, when Amjad Khan asks Amitabh Bachchan, where he heard this song, he replies- that his mother i.e. Rakhi used to sing it. After this, Amjad Khan does not take long to understand that he is his son. After this, in the story of the film, the father-son’s emotional melo drama begins.
The first lyricist’s name was Harivansh Rai Bachchan
A major reason for the popularity of this song in the voice of Amitabh Bachchan is also a dilemma about the lyricist. When this song came in the market, its lyricist’s name was written on the record Harivansh Rai Bachchan. In such a situation, the enthusiasm of his fans had increased even more. The poet’s father wrote and the artist sang. Amitabh was on the sky of success at that time. Would have been popular doing anything. But after many evidence, Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s name was removed from the new record and traditional was written in his place.
The evidence revealed that in my limb… the song is a very old folk song of Uttar Pradesh. It has been sung on the occasion of marriage. In unclaimed, that song was reproduced with some new words on the basis of that.
