She sang it with Mohammed Rafi. Musician O. P. Nayyar also chose Asha Bhosle for "C.I.D." in 1956. BR Chopra chose her for the movie "Naya Daur" in 1957. She sang "Maang Ke Saath Tumhara", "Saathi Haath Badhana" and "Uden Jab Jab Zulfein Teri" with Mohammed Rafi which made her very popular. All these songs in the movie were written by Sahir Ludhianvi. In 1957, Naya Daur was Asha Bhosle's first movie where she sang all the songs in a single movie for the heroine. The heroine in that movie was Vyjayanthimala.
