From Dilip Kumar to Ranveer, given songs for all: Bappi Lahiri on 50 years in Bollywood

Veteran music composer-singer Bappi Lahiri says he is fortunate to be working even in his 50th year in the industry and feels proud to have given songs for actors of all generations.

Bappi's first Bengali film "Daadu" released in 1969 and the composer, with his later works, popularised the disco genre in Bollywood.

Looking back at his journey, the 66-year-old says he feels nothing but gratitude and love.

"I never felt tired all these years. In fact, I feel like working more and I'll continue to work because I enjoy it. I've worked through thick and thin. I feel happy that every year I have a film song which is up for release," Bappi told PTI.

"I feel so proud to have had this journey and to have worked with all the extremely talented people in the industry. Simply put, my life is Dilip Kumar to Ranveer Singh. From 'Dharm Adhikari' to 'Gunday' I've done it all," he adds
The trend today is also of remixing old songs and Bappi says these tracks are "so evergreen that people can't stop loving them."
