Exclusive: Taarak Mehta’s Sunayana Fozdar aka Anjali recalls making debut with Bappi Lahiri’s ‘Gori Hai Kalaiyan’ remix song

Did you know, much before shows like Belanwali Bahu, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah,

Sunayana Fozdar

first appeared in a music video? Back in the days, when the pop songs were a hit in India, Sunayana was seen in Bappi Lahiri’s hit song’s remix ‘

Gori Hai Kalaiyan

’.

Veteran singer and music composer Bappi Lahiri died on Tuesday night (February 15) due to multiple health issues.

Recently, during a live chat with ETimes TV, Sunayana recalled her first appearance in the entertainment industry with his song.

She shared, “I was in college when I did Gori Hai Kalaiyaan… It was Bappi Lahiri ji’s song. He is such a sweetheart. His daughter

Rema Lahiri

had sung the song. I was picked up from college. I remember, I had exams and I had a night shoot. I had to go to one of the mills in town to do night shoot and then in the early morning had to go to college. I was in full make-up with smokey eyes. Teachers and everyone would look at me questionably. But that was fun that time. I learnt a lot. That song released and the entire college was like ‘The Bappi Lahiri girl’, ‘the Gori Hai Kalaiyan girl’. I did many events later. I loved dancing. That was a different time.”

Remembering him, Sunayana wrote on social media, "Such a humble and supremely talented soul, grateful to have the honour to work with you Bappi da."

Sunayana currently plays the role of

Anjali Mehta

in sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah.
