My professional association with Lata Mangeshkar began when we worked together in the first song that I had written for Silsila [1981], Dekha ek khwab toh yeh silsile huye. It was an honour that my two favourite singers, Lataji and Kishoreda [Kumar] brought my words alive. After that, we kept meeting.
