That song by Naseeruddin Shah, which made overnight popular, offers of dozens of songs started rejecting

Naseeruddin Shah spoke openly on other aspects of the popularity found overnight in an old retro interview. He said, after the song ‘OA OA’, I started getting only similar offers. People wanted me to do the same thing. But I did not get into that trap, because I am a very bad dancer. ‘OA OA’ worked because no one had expected that I would be able to correct a single step. So they were shocked and did this work. Anyway, there is no dearth of people praising you in this industry.

When Naseeruddin is asked to sing a song
Recalling the time of lip-linking on playback songs, Naseeruddin said how uncomfortable this experience was for him. He said, ‘Now it has stopped, but there was a time when it was very much. I was asked to sing and was equal to a hundred deaths. I am very bad in the song, one of the worst singers of Hindi songs. Probably because I never thought that I would have to become a hero in films, sing songs or worse, I have to romance with my daughter’s age actress.

Art films were given attention

Commercial Hindi cinema was never the last goal for Naseeruddin Shah. His expectations were always related to realistic cinema. There is something in the character role that is not associated with the lip-link of dancing or song. He says, ‘I thought I would become a character artist. I will play the role of a lawyer, doctor, police or elder brother. So I am very bad in commercial acting, because I never took training for this. He admitted that he never liked his performance in commercial cinema. He often showed himself different from Masstream Cinema Formula.

Naseeruddin Shah was troubled by typakast
Naseeruddin Shah said in the same interview that filmmakers started tying him in Intens, often melodramatic roles. They only saw them as an actor who could probably shout and cry on the screen and he was fed up with it and did not know how to bring newness in such a simple role.
