It’s funny how I landed my first film, Dil Deke Dekho (1959). I got it through S Mukherjee after O P Nayyar quoted a fee that Mukherjee saab wasn’t willing to meet. As luck would have it, I was still struggling to establish myself as a music director, and the film came my way. I was all of 17, and it was a big break.
