Throwback: When Sushmita Sen revealed her REAL reaction to Nora Fatehi’s ‘Dilbar’ remake : Bollywood News

We all know how Sushmita immortalised Dilbar song on screen more than a decade ago. In 2018, the John Abraham starrer Satyameva Jayate makers revamped the track where Nora Fatehi tried to fill into Sushmita Sen’s shoes. While Nora’s version got rave reviews from viewers, Sushmita also gave her a pat on the back and honestly confessed in a Bollywood Hungama interview, that “she was brilliant with it.”

Throwback: When Sushmita Sen revealed her REAL reaction to Nora Fatehi’s ‘Dilbar’ remake

Back in 2020, the actress had said, “I am so happy that she didn’t try to match anything. She was Nora Fatehi and she was brilliant with it. You see in a lot of remixes, and there's a lot of coming back of older songs that are done not so nicely. I am very proud of the way they did it. I thought that she brought her element of her roots and her form of dancing, belly dancing, her kind of presence to it.”

She continued, “Look, Dilbar is an outstanding song. And we would want it for the newer generations to listen to and celebrate and dance to and sing along. So, if that means every generation brings in another version of it and does it as well as they did it, with Nora Fatehi, I’m all game. I think it’s fantastic. We’re not possessive about this.”
