Sadhana, Fashion Icon Of Her Times, And Music
Sadhana, whose iconic fashion status, and embodiment in finest music celebrated an era, died recently.
Her much revered styles remain annexed in her name even today, while she was also the face of the most equisite music of her times, establishing her as legend in Hindi film cinema.
To me, the most beautiful heart wrenching song of her career, is parting with the lover, probably for the last time, as the night falls in that agony of separation, yearning for the last moments of deep embrace. The song is so popular that even today generations of singers, lovers and conneseurs hold the composition in the closest corner of their heart, looking for the perfection they ever perhaps want to match. While much of that credit goes to Madan Mohan, and Lata Mangeshkar, Sadhana remains the face of the song, walking graciously, with deeply pained expressive eyes, inviting, holding, lying and filling the silence of intimacy.
