The song 'Namak Ishq Ka' from the 2006 film Omkara catapulted Rekha Bhardwaj to mainstream fame. However, Rekha wasn't sold on the song initially, citing it as a 'raunchy' challenge.
In an interview, Rekha recalled the making of 'Namak Ishq Ka' and how her husband and director-composer Vishal Bhardwaj convinced her to sing the song.
'Namak Ishq Ka' was part of the soundtrack of Vishal's Othello adaptation, Omkara, which completed 20 years in July. The crime drama is regarded as one of Hindi cinema's finest literary adaptations.
