In an interview, Latit said, “Honestly, Nadeem-Shravan’s music was not of our style. Most of the song that they had done at that time were… So Nadeem would go to Dubai, from there he would buy a lot of Pakistani cassettes, get them here reproduce. The entire industry knows this.”

He further added, “Aashiqui songs are actually Pakistani tracks, with words (retained). Many of the songs! Music of a composer should reflect their style. If you listen to ours, you’d instantly know it is Jatin-Lalit music, because everything was done by us.”

He further added, “Inspiration is a must, even we have been inspired. But that involves a different way of working. Jatin was a truly original composer, he would get inspired by other track, but he would never completely lift a song. In fact I was the one who would take some bits from English songs that I had heard. So I would mix bit and pieces, and only I would know what I had done. But Jatin was a pure composer,”

Aashiqui released in 1990 and starred Rahul Roy and Annu Agarwal who became overnight stars after the film’s release. While Aashiqui 2 starred Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur, Aashiqui 3 will star Tripti Dimri and Kartik Aaryan.
