Punjabi music legend Gurdas Maan has shared his memories of working on the songs ‘Aisa Des Hai Mera’ and ‘Lohri’ from the Shah Rukh Khan-Preity Zinta starrer ‘Veer-Zaara’. The music icon crooned both the songs, and even made a cameo appearance in ‘Aisa Des Hai Mera’ as he did Bhangra with Shah Rukh Khan. The singer said that the cameo wasn’t planned and it was at the insistence of the late filmmaker Yash Chopra that he featured in the song.
Gurdas Maan reminisces about his cameo in Veer-Zaara, saying, “The film ‘Veer-Zaara’ and the songs ‘Aisa Des Hai Mera’ and ‘Lohri’ are very close to my heart. One of my fondest memories is how it all came together. At the time, I was shooting for my film ‘Des Hoya Pardes’ in Chandigarh, and Veer-Zaara was also being filmed. Yash Ji and I were staying in the same hotel”.
