Lyricist Sameer Anjaan recently shared a humorous memory about Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan playfully accusing him of giving all his best songs to Rishi Kapoor.
Salman and Shah Rukh’s Playful Accusation
In an interview with Lallantop, Sameer recalled how both actors, who started their careers around the same time, would often tease him about the popular tracks he wrote for Rishi Kapoor. He said, “They always used to tell me, ‘Sir, you give all the hit tracks to Rishi bhaiya (Rishi Kapoor). Give us at least one superhit song’.”
Sameer’s Contribution to Bollywood Music
Over the years, Sameer has written many memorable songs and played a role in shaping Bollywood’s musical landscape. He later composed tracks for Shah Rukh Khan, including:
- “Koi Na Koi Chahiye” from Deewana (1992)
- “Aisi Deewangi” from Deewana (1992)
These songs helped establish Shah Rukh Khan as a rising star. Reflecting on their journey, Sameer added, “Yeh superstar jo bane hai na usmein humara bhi bahut lahu baha hai (Their journey to stardom also carries a part of our blood and sweat).”
Sameer’s Bond with Salman Khan
His connection with Salman Khan goes beyond work. It stems from his friendship with Salman’s father, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan. He shared how frequent visits to their home led to a close bond with the family.
