Playback star Kumar Sanu's song "Sochenge tumhe pyaar" in the 1992 film "Deewana" was filmed on Rishi Kapoor, and the singer counts the number among his all-time favourites. "There are so many fond memories attached to this song. I remember sitting with him (Kapoor) and discussing the song. It was such an interactive discussion. He was always so inquisitive in every part of filmmaking -- be it acting, direction or making of a song, he was a complete entertainer," said Sanu. Aruna Irani Remembers Rishi Kapoor, Says ‘He Was Such a Humble and Comfortable Artiste to Work With’
