From An Illustrious Family, Tanishaa Mukerji Reflects On Film Heritage 

MUMBAI-Actress Tanishaa Mukerji took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, saying she still finds it remarkable how her family has shaped her perspective of the film industry.

The actress expressed gratitude for her illustrious film lineage and reshared a video of a superhit song featuring legendary stars Nutan and Kishore Kumar.

Sharing the clip on social media, Tanishaa wrote, “Amazing, my Kishore dadu and Nutan moushi. Sometimes I can’t believe how my family has shaped my view of this beautiful film industry!”

The video reposted by the actress featured the iconic song ‘Yeh Raatein Yeh Mausam’, picturized on Nutan and sung by Kishore Kumar.
