Im full of gratitude....you all have been sharing such wonderful info. on this thread...this really has become a great thread now...
thanks everyone for kind remarks.....

You are most welcome. Music is language of love - knowledge should be shared.

Per rediff...

Acting assignments piled up. Kishore won success as a playback singer with hits like Hum hai rahi pyar ke and Chhod do aanchal for Dev Anand. But his increasing workload demanded that he concentrate on his acting. So much so that Kishore had to let Mohammed Rafi playback for him for the song Ajab hai dastaan teri in Shararat.

Great article on Sajjad Hussain, adwarakanath ji. I had forgotten that Rustom Sohrab was his composition. Some great sons in that movie.

Question - Kishore at one time was so busy with his acting career that Rafi has sung (at least one) song(s) for him. Do you remember which one(s)?

Man mora bawra from Ragini too, I maybe wrong. There are atleast 4-5 songs.

Do you know Puneet

Pancham was quite interested in acting & Mehmood gave him break in Bhoot Bangla, where he is seen dancing by side of Mehmood himself...hmmm interestingly this was first movie of Pancham as music composer.
Sachinda was damn angry with Pancham, after all he had got him extensively trained in music.
Pancham learnt Sarod when he was only 3yrs old...that too from Ustad Akbar Ali kKhan.

Pancham has played a sidekick to Rajendranath in Pyar Ka Mausam. He is almost thruout the film.😛

Thanks again to Sinhaji for starting another wonderful topic and giving us
a break from the craziness of this contest.

I learned and remembered a wealth of info from these post so I will share
some tidbits with you and hope that I have not repeated any already
posted info:

Yes Lata's ego is legendary. As you probably know the whole Lata/Asha
rivalry inspried the film Saaz. But did you know:

According to an interview with Lata herself, she is the one who gave
Suman Kalyanpur an early break? I heard the interview myself but could
nto beleive my ears. If anyone else heard this interview, please let me
know.

OP Nayyar and Lata's fued is famous and he vowed to make it to the top
without her. OPN had a massive fight with Lata, due to their clash of
egos. OPN promised not to ever take Lata for his music and no wonder
you will not find many songs by Lata sung for OPN. So, OPN went to Asha
and asked her to sing for him, as Geeta Dutt, Shamshad Begum and Johra
Bai Ambalewali needed a respite and moreover, OPN's music needed
sensuousness that these voices were not able to provide. Asha never
acknowledges the greatness of OPN as music director and never
acknowledges him as her mentor, the opportunity that OPN gave to her
that made her so famous in the Bollywood in any of her numerous
interviews and stage shows.

I don't think that Kavita Krishmurthy is a relative of Hema Malini's mother.
I thought that Kavita K's family was from Karnatika --please confirm (and
no -- all south Indians are not the same!). I think that she acutally got
her start in Bengali music. She had a Bengali aunt, grew up partially in
Calcutta and was a college friend of Ranu Mukherjee (Hemanta's
daughter). I believe he gave her a break and then she started with work
Manna Dey. I acutally saw her at Manna Dey's concert over 25 years ago
when she was nobody (showing my age here). She did meet LP through
Hema Malini's mother who was a friend of her aunt (busy lady!).

Alka also grew up in Calcutta and often says that she is more Bengali than
anything else (though she is acutally a Gujrati).

SD Burman did not like the tune of Roop Tera Mastana as it sounded too
western but Kishore Kumar and RD convinced him by finding an obscure
Bengali folk tune which has a similar melody. Once convinced RD ran
with it.

Thanks for reading.

The movie was Raagini, music by OPNayyar, and the song was a classical based composition. I forget the name...aaaah damnit.

Mana mora bawara.😊

Sinha ji,

Aap ke post as usual bahut hi aache rehte hai. Lata ne apne samay mein kisi bhi singer ko rise karne nahi diya.Kuch din pehele Asha Bhosle ko Grammy award ke liye nomination mila to usne apne interview mein kaha" meri family wale bahut ki khush kyonki unko lagata hai ki mere saath annaya hua hai".
Lata aur Asha ke relation ko lekar ek movie bhi bani hai "saaz".
