Kumar Sanu sings ‘Sambhala Hai Maine’ live, credits Anu Malik’s music mastery

When host Hardik Limbachia asked Kumar Sanu to showcase his vocal prowess on the stage of “India’s Best Dancer Season 5,” the singer chose the evergreen number “Sambhala Hai Maine.” The track, released in 1994, was one of Anu Malik’s most intricate compositions.

After the performance, Sanu reiterated his admiration for Malik’s craft, noting that creating a song as demanding as “Sambhala Hai Maine” required not only melodic skill but also the right emotional delivery. He said, “The 90s owed a great many unforgettable songs to Anu Malik, and this one was a true challenge that he mastered beautifully.”

The episode’s theme, “India wala Dance,” blended classic 90s music with contemporary choreography, allowing contestants Ritesh and Prateek to deliver performances that celebrated the era’s legacy.
