Neena Gupta’s song, titled ‘Mera Dil’, was released just a few months ago and has already broken all records in India. The song’s bold lyrics and catchy melody have captured the hearts of music lovers across the country, with sales of 1 crore cassettes and counting. This is a staggering number, considering the song’s release was met with initial controversy and backlash from conservative groups.
