Veteran actress Jaya Prada playfully teased judge and music composer Vishal Dadlani on the singing reality show Indian Idol. She jokingly questioned him for having actress Alia Bhatt dance to the popular song ‘Dafli Waale’, originally featuring Jaya Prada herself. Making a grand entrance on the show, Jaya Prada humorously confronted Vishal about the recreation of her iconic song in Alia Bhatt’s debut film, Student of the Year.
In response to Jaya Prada’s playful banter, Vishal Dadlani explained the context, mentioning that a part of ‘Dafli Waale’ was included in the song ‘Radha’ from Student of the Year, where Alia Bhatt danced. Despite Vishal’s explanation, Jaya Prada continued the light-hearted exchange by jokingly declaring that he would be punished for the oversight. The judges and contestants shared laughter at the amusing interaction.
Jaya Prada didn’t stop there and even made Vishal Dadlani play the ‘Dafli’ as she danced to the iconic tune ‘Dafli-wale’. Host Aditya Narayan added to the fun atmosphere by welcoming Jaya Prada with a witty remark, calling her a killer instead of a goon and praising her as the desi girl. The iconic song ‘Dafli Waale’ originally featured Jaya Prada and the late Rishi Kapoor in the hit movie Sargam, released in 1979.
Jaya Prada’s energetic performance in a white saree, along with Rishi Kapoor’s memorable portrayal of playing the ‘Dafli’, captivated audiences in the late 1970s Bollywood era. The song became a significant moment in both actors’ careers, contributing to their stardom. Rishi Kapoor’s convincing depiction of playing the ‘Dafli’ showcased his exceptional acting skills, leaving a lasting impact on viewers.
