hamne 'loan' liya tha, Filmfare mein woh bharne ke liye. Filmfare

KS: us samay kya paise dene paDte the 'award' ke liye?
PL: naheen kya tha ki Filmfare ki ek 'copy' khareedni paDti thi,
usmein ek 'form' hota tha, usmein aapko 'Best Music' ke andar apna
naam likhna paDtaa tha, us zamaane mein yeh hota tha, woh aaj bhi
chal raha hai...
KS: to aap se pehle bhi logon ne yahi kiya tha?
