What happens
Chirag (English: Light) is a 1969 Indian Bollywood film directed by Raj Khosla. The film stars Sunil Dutt and Asha Parekh in the lead roles. The film features the songs "Teri Aankhon Ke Siwa", sung separately by Mohammad Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar, which became quite popular, as well as "Mere Bichhade Sathi Sunta Ja" and "Chhayi Barakha Bahar", both sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Another song "Chirag Dil Ka Jalao", sung by Mohammad Rafi, was not featured in the film. The film performed well at the box office. In an interview, Asha Parekh said about Sunil Dutt, "Dutt Saab was God’s child. He was a saint in the truest sense of the word. We did Chirag together where I had played a blind girl. Dutt Saab was so supportive and gentle as if I was really blind." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
