Madhuri on Sooraj Barjatya’s narration for Hum Aapke Hain Koun

Hum Aapke Hain Koun...! was an adaptation of Rajshri Productions’ own 1982 film Nadiya Ke Paar. While many would consider that the film lacked conflict, it became a rage for its heartwarming narrative. Recalling Sooraj Barjatya’s narration, the Mrs Deshpande actress shares, “He is amazing and such a good narrator. So he was doing every part, playing every person, every character, and all the songs were recorded. I had a narration of around 3.5 hours. And then there was one song which was not recorded, so he sang for us. I was just like, I want to do this movie as it’s heartwarming, positive, all about grace and elegance, tradition, relationships, and the value of our culture is so steeped in that.”
