Daboo shared a rare black-and-white picture as a throwback from the iconic Filmcenter Studios, and said that he can still remember the smell and the vibe of the room where some of India’s finest voices created timeless melodies.

Sharing the picture, Daboo wrote on his social media account, “This is FILMCENTER STUDIOS .... I know the room behind that door ... This is the monitor room I have sat on one of these chairs and spent hours on the black sofa behind …”

He added, “I have attended recordings of Kishore Da, Rafi Sahab, Asha ji and Lataji ... I can’t even explain how magnificent the musicians' assembly room was ... The smell the feel the vibe .... Soon I am Going to go Nostalgic and will Create Memories for all music lovers ... The Legends in this Pic Are the Foundations of our musical Legacy (sic).”
