Nitin Mukesh


Nitin Mukesh

Birth: 27th June , 1950
Birthplace: Mumbai
Profession: Playback Singer, Bollywood.
Family: Wife, Nishi Mukesh and daughter Neha

Nitin Mukesh is the son of the legendary late Mukesh. He had an aptitude for music from the very beginning, but Mukesh who had a very erratic career wanted him to keep music only as a hobby. With this in mind, Nitin was sent abroad to do management. But Nitin was not enamoured of such a career. He asked his father's permission to return and pursue a career in music, His father accepted Nitin's decision, and told him that he would have to struggle on his own steam.

Nitin reminisces his father the legendary Mukesh"From all the relationships one has - that of a husband, brother, son, friend, father, he was the best as a father. He was a doting parent - an indulgent, pampering father, so that we could have easily got spoilt but we didn't because he taught us values too. In fact the way he gave us our values was worth seeing. He'd never thrash us or be angry but in his own gentle way make us understand," .

Nitin trained in music under various teachers like Pt. Jagannath Mishra, Ustad Faiyyaz Ahmed Khan and Chhote Iqbal, the first of whom had also groomed his father.Nitin had recorded a few lines for the English song, 'With A Cheer, Not A Tear In Your Eye' in Shankar – Jaikishan's Mera Naam Joker.

A small music director called Shyamji Ghanshyamji who had heard him and gave him his first break in a modest Kishore Sahu film, Dhuan Ki Lakeer (1974) in a duet with Vani Jayaram, 'Teri Jheel Se Gehri Aankhon Mein'.However, Nitin's first release as a full – fledged singer was Sabse Bada Sukh (1972 / Salil Chowdhary) in which the song he sang was also lip – synched by him.. Through the 70's, Nitin sang sporadically, like a line in Shankar – Jaikishan's Do Jhoot (the Mera Naam Joker's song was Jaikishan's and the Do Jhoot number Shanker's, reveals Nitin), two or three small films with Shyamji Ghanshyamji, R. D. Burman's Trimurti (1974 – a multi – singer song) and Sapan Chakravarty's Jab Andhera Hota Hai (1974 – his first solo). He also recorded for Kalyanji – Anandji's Nasbandi.

But he got the attention on a large scale in 1978 – 79 with his three hit duets with Lata Mangeshkar. 'Main Kaise Usse Pasand Karoon (Satyam Shivam Sundaram). 'Gapuji Gapuji Gum Gum' (Trishul) and 'Aja Re Aaja Re O Mere Dilbar Aaja' from Noorie.

In the 80's, Nitin two of his most popular films – wherein he dominated the show were Laxmikant – Pyarelal's Kranti ('Zindagi Ki Na Toote Ladi'). He also scored with his popular songs in Khaiyyam's Nakhuda ('Tumhare Palkon Ki'), Shiv – Hari's Chaandni 'Tu Mujhe Suna' and Rajesh Roshan's Khudgarz ('Zindagi Ka Naam Dosti', Yahin Kahin Jiyara Hamar'), Khoon Bhari Maang ('Hanste Hanste') and Dariya Dil ('Woh Kehte Hain Humsa'), Laxmikant Pyarelal's Ram Lakhan ('One Two ka Four'),Meri Jung ('Jeet Jayenge Hum'), Tezaab ('So Gaya Ye Jahan') and other films including Parivaar, Khoj, Kasam, Aasman Se Ooncha, Kaala Bazar, Sone Pe Suhaaga, Sawaal and others.

But in the 90's he lost ground rapidly despite the occasional popular number like 'Sone Ki Cycle (Bhabhi / Anu Malik), 'Is Jahan Se Nirali Hai' (King Uncle) and 'Tere Mere Hothon Pe (Aaina / Dilip Sen – Sameer Sen). He did have a 658 few other films like Ranbhoomi, Karm Yudh, Jaise Karni Waisi Bharni and Ghar Parivaar, but tastes and trends had changed and a new generation of singers had come in with the backing of music companies. The failure of Nitin based scores like Deshwasi and Jai Hind did the rest, and Nitin largely did devotional albums and shows.

On the 23rd of Feb 2004, Neha Mukesh , Mukesh's grand daughter tied the nuptial knot with Alakshendra, son of Ragendraji and Mani Swarup, in Mumbai. Currently Nitin is virtually off films. He continues to do shows that are in demand and devotional albums, many of which have been huge successes.

Lata mangeshkar, 70
Truly, God preserves her
Nitin Mukesh Lataji would tie a raakhi on my father, and he was simply the closest any individual in the film industry was to her. My dad called her didi, though he was an established singer when Lataji came in. He would pick her up from their house at Prabhu Kunj and take her to recordings -- and this is what Lataji and her sisters have told me. For her Mukesh bhaiyya was very special. My initial relationship with her was that of a nephew with an aunt. But it later changed to awe when I decided to take up singing as a profession. Maybe another Lata is there, hidden in anonymity, but unless she worships work the way she does, and has the same single-minded dedication and perfection, Lata Mangeshkar will remain untouched and unbeatable. None of us have heard Meerabai and Saraswati, but for us she represents them as well. She's simply the most beautiful voice in modern times, untouched in voice quality, range, versatility and her eternal love for perfection. I have had such a long professional association with her in films and on stage as well as our personal closeness due to dad. So I dare say that I have authority to speak these few lines on her. The musicians and we, the co-singers, would become restless with the endless rehearsals before going on stage, but not her. She was the epitome of discipline and perfection, and faultless as well as effortless on the mike. And the most important point was that she, the one and only Lata Mangeshkar, needn't have put in all that effort. She taught me how to worship my work. I noticed she would take off her slippers before going on stage. From that first time, I have emulated her to date as the only male singer who sings barefoot no matter how cold it is in any open-air auditorium. She has also literally introduced me to the world of stage, and taught me not to take it lightly. This was on that fateful tour in 1976 when papa died after completing eight of the 10 shows. Early on this tour he had developed a throat problem because of something he had eaten and she told him to take it easy. I was with the troupe on a casual holiday and she asked me to step in -- and I began on stage with three timeless duets with her -- Aaja re ab mera dil pukara (Aah), Sawan ka mahina (Milan) and Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein (Kabhi Kabhie). As the roar of applause broke out, papa broke down and told her, 'Now my pension is secure.' When papa suffered that heart attack just before the ninth show, it was she who took charge, though personally she was devastated and wept loudly. She was the first to inform me when papa was declared dead. Two months later, we were back in the US to complete the two remaining shows and she was so comforting and affectionate, ensuring that I wasn't depressed. She treated me in a big-sisterly way and announced on stage that Nitin and she did not want to leave papa's work unfinished, and so were back. And today, thanks largely to that lady, I am settled in my main vocation. I am proud to say I emulate her in one more way on stage -- that even if I am going to sing from the same list of 50 songs every time, I rehearse on the scale she does, with complete musicians, for weeks. When you emulate, you emulate only the best, because that is like one small step in attempting to reach the heights they have reached. It was on my tours with her -- and I was a constant feature in her shows for over 12 years after papa's death -- that I really realised both the potential of the stage as well as what Lata Mangeshkar, that pious yet disciplined lady in real life, meant to the world of music lovers. People just went mad at her shows! In 1980, we were to perform in Guyana, West Indies. We alighted from the plane to face an ocean of humanity -- a milling throng the likes of which even she, I think, had not imagined. There seemed to be literally a hundred thousand people there and the organisers told us later that even the Queen of Great Britain and other heads of state who had visited there had not commanded even a fraction of that crowd. The entire 60-km stretch from the airport to our hotel was lined with cheering men, women and children, most of whom were locals who did not understand a word of Hindi, but loved her songs. There was a constant shower of petals and people were literally weeping and cheering and shouting 'Laatta! Laatta!' in their West Indian accent. And though so many were even prostrating themselves before our motorcade -- I had requested her to stand and she stood with folded hands throughout -- not a single person misbehaved. I have seen the euphoria over Michael Jackson in Bombay -- it simply wasn't in the same class! When we reached our hotel all of us were weeping uncontrollably! Then in 1983, we decided to do a show in Swaziland, at the tip of South Africa -- a place where only 10 Indians lived. But we had no choice then, as Indians were not permitted entry into the rest of South Africa. But you should have seen the response! People from surrounding countries had flown and driven across borders in thousands. And on the day of the show -- which was to be in an open-air auditorium -- there came one of those terrible storms with lightning and blinding rain. But was the audience daunted? No way! We opened the show to a sea of umbrellas and raincoats in an auditorium packed to capacity! Those who were unfortunate enough to be unprotected stood for all those four hours, even holding their chairs over their heads, but no one left before the show was over. That is one vivid image that will never go away from my mind! That is the magic, the charisma and the mesmeric artistry of Lata Mangeshkar! In my recordings with her -- the first was Main kaise use pasand karoon for Rajji and LP's (Laxmikant-Pyarelal) Satyam Shivam Sundaram -- she was extra considerate, extra patient. She used to hop from recording to recording those days, but if she came to know that I was to be a co-singer, she would allot a longer time for me. During our tours, as I said, she was like a big sister, and would personally ensure my comfort and my being put up in the same hotel as she was. An episode which I can never forget happened in 1979 when we landed in Glasgow, Scotland, on a freezing day just three hours before our show. She was not too well on the flight and was complaining of a heavy head. We were a shade worried and so many of us made different suggestions for her well being. All she said was, 'I will not eat lunch. Get me an ice-cream instead!' We were flummoxed, because we were sure that ice-cream would aggravate her headache. But we couldn't argue. And three hours later, an extremely normal Lata Mangeshkar performed at her peak, revealing later that ice-cream always helped her in such cases. Truly God preserves her. And I hope that He keeps at it.

As told to Rajiv Vijaykar

Khalid Mahmood

Yesterday.... Once More !

Khalid Mahmood has performed in many concerts around the world, singing his own hits as well as the hits of his evergreen father Talat Mahmood. Talat fans have enjoyed the all-time big hits of their favorite singer 'King of Ghazals' Talat Mahmood in the dulcet voice of his son Khalid Mahmood, accompanied by a full compliment of live orchestra, playing original melodies and scores. Khalid's shows dedicated to his father titled 'EK SHAAM TALAT MAHMOOD KE NAAM' are being talked about enthusiastically by music lovers, as listening to Talat hits from Talat's own flesh and blood is a completely different experience than listening to it from from some Tom, Dick or Harry trying to pathetically "imitate" or "copy" the great Talat Mahmood! Khalid has performed not just all over India but also in foreign countries like England, America, Middle East, Holland, Sri Lanka and Nigeria, to packed halls and extremely appreciative audiences!

Khalid's interest in music began at a very young age, listening to his legendary father singing in the house whilst doing his daily 'riyaaz' or singing practice. Happy that his son was showing an interest in music, Talat bought him a guitar and this kicked off Khalid's drive into the world of music. Also, from a young age Khalid enjoyed listening to his father's huge collection of Western albums of Elvis Presley, Jim Reeves, Tom Jones, Cliff Richard and many others. Learning western chords on the guitar and imbibing Indian raags thru music heard at home, helped Khalid develop music abilities far beyond the comprehension of most of his contemporary collegues/singers. This combination of exposure to listening to the best of Indian music and best of western music instilled a creative drive in Khalid which would, later in his life, culminate in his recording in USA with ex Bon Jovi member Dan Stykes, making Khalid the first ever Indian singer to record in USA with a completely all white-American musicians.

Bestowed with a voice gifted in musical lineage and coupled with striking good looks, this trendy singer began his singing career in 1987 with the release of the chart topping hit 'THIS IS KHALID' and reached the forefront of the ghazal horizon in the 90's. Numerous press write-ups hailed his dynamic style of pop ghazal presentation and a whole new generation of pop ghazal lovers followed his style !

Very selective about choosing only the best ghazals of renowned ghazal stalwarts, Khalid has maintained the high standard of poetry set by his father, the legendary 'Shahenshah e Ghazal' Talat Mahmood. However, where composing and orchestration is concerned, Khalid has blazed his own trail. Gifted with a deep, soft and sensuous voice, this talented singer composes with a mix of Indian, American and Latin American sounds and rhythm patterns, in a complete deviation from previous ghazal trends and a creation which is all his own, a creation which has set female hearts a-flutter in countries like USA, England, Nigeria, Muscat, Holland, Canada, Dubai, Sri Lanka, Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi, where Khalid's albums have recorded chart topping sales. He has also appeared on Talk Shows of BBC, Voice Of America, Radio Kuwait, Radio Mauritius etc.

Khalid Mahmood's hit pop ghazal album 'Heartbeats' was recorded on 32 tracks and digital sound at Skylab Recording Studio, New York. Working with Dan Stykes ( ex-member of the popular pop group Bon Jovi ), renowned music arranger John McDonough and recording engineer Ron Schrier, Khalid has made extensive use of sequencers, sampler sounds, synthesizers and rhythm machines to create a pop ghazal album that made the popular women's magazine FEMINA write, "HEARTBEATS has foot-tapping music that can set your soul on fire!" Khalid thus has the honor and distinction of being the first ever Indian singer to record a complete pop ghazal album in New York, USA in 1991 with an all-white American crew!

Another first to Khalid's credit is bringing together the sons of his father's other singer colleagues Mohd Rafi, Mukesh, Kishore Kumar and himself together on one album for the first time ever. Khalid Mahmood, Shahid Rafi, Nitin Mukesh and Amit Kumar appeared on "Singing Fathers, Singing Sons" which was presented by none other than the great Dilip Kumar himself. It was for the first time that this mega star had ever spoken for anyone on a music album. The album obviously became the talk of town! The release news of this album made front page headlines in Bombay's top selling paper MID-DAY !

Khalid also ventured onto the horizons of Bengali music by releasing the hit album 'Bhalobasha Pele Shobi Pawa Jaye' All the songs on this album were written by the renowned and respected Bengali lyricist Mukul Dutt and composed by Khalid in the same racy pop style. The album became an instant hit and the top selling "Shanonda Magazine" of Bengal wrote about Khalid likening him to an old saying – 'Race horse ka beta, kuch nahi, to bhi thoda thoda!' Meaning that Khalid's pedigree being what it is, that is, the son of such a huge singing legend as Talat Mahmood, even if he is has a miniscule talent, he will still soar over the heads of his other contemporary singers! High praise, indeed!!!

Signed up to an exclusive 2 album per year contract by CBS-SONY Music Company, Khalid has released a string of hits like 'Just for You', 'This is is Khalid Mahmood', 'King Of Hearts', 'Bhalobasa Pele Shobi Pava Jae' (Bengali), 'Heartbeats', 'Singing Fathers Singing Sons', 'Hits of Talat Mahmood sung by Khalid'

Another feather in Khalid's cap is that he is the first singer son to start a website in honor and memory his legendary father titled www.talatmahmood.com With over 700 rare photographs, fact file, press clips, complete songs list and tons of nostalgic memorabilia, all from the personal collection of the 'King Of Ghazals' himself, this website is a treasure trove for all Talat Mahmood and Khalid Mahmood fans ! With over 50,000,000 page requests every month from fans all around the world, this is easily one of the most popular websites since 1996 on the internet today. So take a walk down memory lane with the 'Shahenshah E Ghazal' Talat Mahmood at www.talatmahmood.com
