On Sadhana's birth anniversary on September 2, Subhash K Jha recaps her 10 best songs.
Lag Jaa Gale from Woh Kaun Thi
Sadhana probably never guessed that this song, sung by Lata Mangeshkar, would define concept of onscreen romance for all time.
Aji Rooth Kara Ab Kahan Jayiega from Arzoo
The Shankar-Jaikishan composition had such high notes that they made Lata Mangeshkar go red in the face.
Kaise Rahoon Chup from Inteqaam
Another classic sung by Lata Mangeshkar, composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.
Oh Saajna Barkha Bahaar Aayi from Parakh
This rain-splashed gem sung by Lata Mangeshkar manifests Sadhana's timeless allure.
Saamne Mere Sanwariya from Anita
When Raj Khosla changed from Madan Mohan to Laxmikant-Pyarelal, the outcome was outstanding.
Tera Mera Pyar Amar from Asli Naqli
Composed by Shankar-Jaikishan and sung by Lata Mangeshkar, this is a massive ear-pleaser.
Oh Mere Bairagi Bhanwara from Ishq Par Zor Nahin
Lata Mangeshkar sings this gem, composed by S D Burman.
Abhi Na Jao Chhor Kar from Hum Dono
Sahir Ludhianvi's words and Jaidev's composition are magical.
Suniye Zara Dekhiye Na from Geeta Mera Kaam
One of Sadhana's last hits, directed by her husband R K Nayyar, is best remembered for this Lata Mangeshkar number.
Jhumka Gira Re from Mera Saaya
The biggest chartbuster of Sadhana's career was sung by Asha Bhosle.
