Ismail Darbar Reflects on Emotional Bond and Rift with Sanjay Leela Bhansali

Music composer Ismail Darbar shared emotional and complex memories of his collaboration with filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, recalling how Bhansali was deeply moved by the song 'Tadap Tadap' from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Despite their creative conflicts, they maintained mutual respect over years of work on films like Devdas. However, their relationship deteriorated after Darbar was reportedly dropped from Bhansali's web series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar despite contributing for 1.5 years, leading Darbar to express feelings of betrayal and seek forgiveness.
