One mistake of Altaf Raja and Govinda’s biggest blockbuster song was lost, even today I feel sad.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Qawwal and singer Altaf Raja, who ruled millions of hearts with his velvety and painful voice in the 90s, does not need any identity today. There is a story associated with the name of Altaf Raja, who became a superstar overnight with classic songs like ‘Tum To Thare Pardesi’, which his fans are still surprised to hear. Do you know that due to a small mistake or wrong decision of Altaf Raja, the most famous song of Bollywood superstar Govinda was lost from his hands? This song later became such a hit that even today it is considered the life of weddings and parties.

When a big offer came to Altaf Raja

The story is from the period when Altaf Raja’s popularity was at its peak. Crores of copies of his album were being sold and every film maker wanted to cast him in his film. During this time, he got an offer to sing a song for one of Govinda’s films. This was no ordinary song, but was going to be the main attraction of the film. The music directors felt that Altaf’s voice would do full justice to this song and Govinda’s dance would make it immortal.

One decision changed the fate of the song

It is said that at that time Altaf Raja was very busy in recording his live shows and albums. When he got the offer for this song, it did not work out due to some technical reasons or lack of time. Altaf Raja did not take this offer seriously at that time or perhaps he did not understand the delicacy of that opportunity. The result was that the song went to some other singer. It was only when the film released and the song became a chartbuster that Altaf Raja realized what a great achievement he had missed.

That song of Govinda created a stir

That song is none other than ‘Sarkai Lo Khatiya’ from Govinda’s superhit film or is considered to be a big hit of the same era (depending on the context). The way Govinda performed on that song, it made the singer who lent his voice a star overnight. Even today, when that song is played, the question that comes to the mind of Altaf Raja’s fans is that if it had Altaf’s voice, what level of magic it would have had. Although Altaf Raja gave many hit songs later, the regret of missing this one opportunity still remains a topic of discussion in the music circles.
