Guys, its amazing how passionate everyone of you is for ARR's music, and how far everyone goes to listen to even a small instument.
Can someone please tell me, what instrument plays in 'Chhoti si asha' or 'china china asai' from Roja at 2.29 and 2.34/2.35. Its after she says 'dil hai chhota sa', and next time after se says 'masti bhare man ki I have a doubt it could be Sarangi but I am not sure. Since when I was a kid, and didn't even know about ARR, I've been in love with Roja's music and this small one second instrument.
