“He gave me his blessings. Wherever there is love, fights are bound to happen. He also told me that if I ever needed any help, he was always there,” says Darbar, who also gave music to Bhansali’s Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999).

“Sanjay is my godfather. When no one could understand my music, he was the one who did. All issues have been resolved, but they might return whenever we work together ... our differences are purely on a creative level and not personal,” he adds.
