Lata Mangeshkar on singing a song in the bathroom

According to an entertainment portal, there had been rumours about how the song Pyar Kia Toh Darna Kya was sung in a bathroom to get an echo effect. The technology to make echo effects was not available back in the year 1960 when the film Mughal-E-Azam was produced. This paved the way to the rumours. However, these rumours turned out to false. In an interview with a famous talk show host, Mangeshkar went on to clear the air around these rumours.

Mangeshkar said that the only way to get the echo effect right was to record the song at three different places and then overlap the recordings. She went on to say that she first sang the song in a room and then moved to a hall. She then finally moved to a room where some recording devices were brought in, but none of these rooms was a bathroom.
