Singer Shweta Shetty makes a comeback in music industry after 20 years with 'Jalne Mein Hai Mazaa'

When Shweta Shetty sung ‘Khidki pe aaona bahar naa jau, kaise mein sare din ghar mein bitau’ in the late 90s, none of us had an idea that the song will become relevant in 2020-21. The legendary 90s pop icon of India, who refers to herself as a newcomer, was “absolutely thrilled” when she got to know that her single ‘Deewane To Deewane Hain’ was trending on YouTube all over again. And that’s when she thought to make her comeback after 20 years of being away from the music industry.

“For me, it (‘Deewane To Deewane Hain’ trending) was a sweet gift, which gave me the idea to reconnect, to produce a track for my fans.” Soon enough, she



started working on her latest track ‘Jalne Mein Hai Mazaa’ which is a retro/Disco take on a 1994 ballad by Salim-Sulaiman.

“I wanted to get back to Disco, I love the genre. My first (‘Johnny Joker’) song was Disco with Biddu. For me, it played a very important part in my life. I went a little folk with Deewane but I always have been a fan of Disco. I have always titled myself as the Disco Queen,” the 51-year-old told indianexpress.com, adding, “I always had ‘Jalne Me Hai Mazaa’ in my mind. I wanted to give it a Disco version. During the lockdown, I got in touch with Addy S (the maker of the new version) and spoke to him about recreating this song.”
