It is safe to say that the jhumka has fallen many times in Bareilly's bazaar - but in terms of fashion, it has never quite stayed down. With the recent passing of the legendary singer Asha Bhosle, who immortalised the song Jhumka Gira Re in the movie Mera Saaya (1966), the Internet is circling back to the earrings and the track that made them unforgettable.
