Hardly shot ‘What is love if you love
It took 14 years to build ‘Mughal-e-Azam’ released in 1960. It took two years to become a set of a song from the film. The song was ‘Jab Pyaar Kiya Darna Kya’. When the actress Madhubala dances in the song, she is seen in all the heads in the palace, but it was not easy to film. At one time it was almost impossible to create this scene.

Experts were also called from Hollywood, but they also refused. The matter reached the breaking of Sheesh Mahal, built for Rs 15 lakh, but then cinematographer RD Mathur solved it. As soon as the camera was installed, its light would fall on the glass. Reflectors were installed to stop it, but when the lights fell on them, the eyes would go dazzled and the shooting would become difficult. Mathur found a corner on the set with his camera, where the light was jumping. No reflection was being made from there. Then Madhubala was seen walking in colored glasses disguised as Anarkali and it became an iconic scene of Hindi cinema.
