Khayyam was another music director who recognised Asha Bhosle’s talent early and gave her some of the most amazing projects. “In Ankhon Ki Masti Ke” is a beautiful ghazal song from the film Umrao Jaan. This song was composed by Khayyam and sung by Asha Bhosle and picturised on Rekha and Farooq Sheikh.
