There’s no doubt that the soundtrack of Papa Kehte Hain is still loved by music lovers. In fact, ‘Ghar Se Nikalte Hi’ has a special place in everyone’s heart. Speaking about his film completing 25 years, Jugal told The Indian Express, “I didn’t realise it’s completed 25 years. In some ways, I do feel old, and in others, I don’t. In my mind I’m still that kid (from the film). And people still remember the music. It is one of the most famous albums in Bollywood. To be one amongst the great compositions down the years, is a big thing.”

Jugal loved the song Ghar Se Nikalte Hi so much that he wanted to shoot it even before the film. Speaking about the brief Mahesh Bhatt gave him for the song. “If you see it, you’ll realise there are 4-6 lines in every shot. He’s taken long shots without cuts. His whole brief to me was not to think of it as a song, but to imagine that the camera and audience is my friend and I’m confiding in my best friend about this sweet girl I’ve just met, but I don’t know how to talk to her. I had to imagine how I’d experience all that. So, he made me sing into the camera in the whole song.”

Apart from Mayuri and Jugal, Papa Kehte Hai also featured Anupam Kher, Tiku Talsania, Dinesh Hingoo, Soni Razdan, Navni Parihar and Suhas Joshi. The film’s other popular tracks include ‘Pehle Pyar Ka Pehla’ and ‘Yeh Jo Thode Se’.
