12 Timeless Melodies by Alka Yagnik
Just when Yagnik was almost forgotten from the music scene, she teamed up with A.R Rahman and current music sensation, Arijit Singh to deliver the soulful Agar Tum Saath Ho that topped several music charts in 2015. The song highlighted the incredible chemistry between Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone in the film.
How Gayatri Joshis character falls in love with Shah Rukh Khans in this simple ode to love? Saanwariya Saanwariya is one of Yagniks most beautiful works, brilliantly composed by A.R Rahman.
Hum Tum was a beautiful love song in the extremely enjoyable rom-com that won Yagnik, a Filmfare Award again.
The heroine had little to do in the Salman Khan starrer, but Yagniks Oodhni ensured that Bhumika Chawla had her moment in the film.
The extremely romantic Aapke Pyaar Mein from the hit 2002 thriller is all you need on a long, rainy day while indoors. If you know what we mean.
Kajol looked like a dream in this beautifully-picturised Suraj Hua Madham but Yagniks voice complimented her screen presence even better.
Wasnt this such a feel-good song back in the early 2000s? The peppy and cute exchange between Aamir Khan and Preity Zinta in Jaane Kyon was possible because of the able vocals of Yagnik and Udit Narayan.
Taal was one of the first collaborations of Yagnik with music maestro A.R. Rahman. And when two great musicians come together, Taal Se Taal calls for an encore.
Urmila Matondkars sexy act in Chamma Chamma would possibly be incomplete if it wasnt for Yagniks flirtatious rendition.
The movie tanked at the box office but Baahon Ke Darmiyan can give couples, major relationship goals even today.
Dekha Hai Pehli Baar is a tribute to love at first sight. Featuring Madhuri Dixit and Salman Khan, the song is still quite a favorite among modern-day lovebirds.
Ek Do Teen from Tezaab made Madhuri Dixit a household name and fetched Yagnik, her first Filmfare Award. You just cannot stop dancing to the song, whenever and wherever it is played.
Alka Yagnik, the melody queen of the 90s turns 50 on March 20.
