Make ‘a hot cup of tea’ in just 5 minutes
Filmfare Award winning music director Anu Malik recently shared the inside story of the making of this hit song in a conversation with Shubhankar Mishra. He told that in the morning his wife had come to wake him up and was stirring the spoon in the cup and when he opened his eyes, the tune of the song came to his mind as soon as he heard the sound of the same spoon. Then the words started coming out of his heart on his own, I want a hot cup of tea, someone is going to serve it to him, then he narrated this line to Sajid and within no time the song was ready.

Let us tell you, the song ‘Ek Garam Chai Ki Pyaali Ho’ has been sung by famous musician and singer Anu Malik. This popular song is from the 2000 film ‘Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega’, in which Salman Khan and Rambha were seen. Anu Malik has not only lent her voice to it, but has also composed its music and its lyrics have been written by Sameer. This song became a big hit among the fans as soon as it was released.

Even today this song holds a special place in people’s playlist. Fans start remembering the old days after listening to this. People like to listen to it on social media even today.

Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty and Varun Dhawan starrer film ‘Border 2’ is ready for release in the year 2026 and the teaser of the first song of the film ‘Ghar Kab Aaoge’ has been released.

This song is a remake of ‘Sandesh Aate Hain’, in which the emotions are old and the music is new. When Border’s first iconic song ‘Sandesh Aate Hain’ is played even today, people’s hearts and eyes become moist, because this song is not just a song, but has been made by putting into words the sacrifice of a soldier deployed on the border, mother’s affection and girlfriend’s love. However, making the song was not easy, because at that time music composer and singer Anu Malik was going through the most difficult phase of his life.

Anu Malik cried a lot while making the song

Emotions were most important in making ‘Sandesh Aate Hai’. Anu Malik wanted to make light songs at that time, like ‘Garm Chai Ki Pyaali’ and ‘Oonchi Hai Building’, but when JP Dutta and Javed Akhtar asked him to make a song, he was in a dilemma as to how to make the song.

To add emotion to the song, JP Dutta showed him photos of soldiers deployed on the border, seeing which he cried a lot. First he made a song full of love, which was good, but it did not have the yearning and affection that JP Dutta and Javed Sahab wanted.

In such a situation, the song has been heard, but was rejected. JP Dutta said that he could do better, so he again showed Anu Malik the pictures of soldiers covered in snow and he started crying again. Anu Malik had decided that this time he would die by converting every tear into a tune. After so much hard work the song was ready.

The tune of ‘Sandesh Aate Hain’ was ready in just 7-8 minutes.

The song ‘Sandesh Aate Hain’ was very long. The duration of the first song was 11 minutes, but later it was completed in seven and a half minutes. Javed Saheb initially found the song incomplete and to complete the song he added the paragraph of ‘Gujarne wali hawa wala’. In this paragraph, mother’s love and true friendship was written in words, and even at the last moment, Anu Malik had prepared the tune of the song in just 7-8 minutes.

Sonu Nigam and Roop Singh Rathore, who were not known to many people at that time, were chosen to create a song with a combination of tune and lyrics. Anu Malik wanted to work with both and on his request, ‘Sandeshe Aate Hai’ was given to Sonu Nigam and Roop Singh Rathore. This song was ready after more than a month’s hard work.
