When Atul started his alphabetical series of actresses who have lip-synced to Asha Bhosle’s voice, I suggested the names of some actresses who were missing from the list. I also sent the respective songs. Amala’s name was on my list, along with the song “Step by Step” from Dost (1989). When I asked Atul if he would mind my writing a post on the song, he replied that he would welcome it. This is how this contribution of mine came about after a long hiatus from this resourceful blog.
I became aware of Amala through her first Hindi film, Pushpak (1987). The film made quite a splash in the Hindi film industry, as it was a silent movie released in the middle of a decade that was full of very loud films. I did not have the chance to watch it in a cinema hall at the time. Amala looked quite different from the usual Hindi heroines of that era. In her interviews, she came across as a very sympathetic person who was actively involved in efforts against cruelty to animals. This brings us to the plot of the movie in question.

Mukesh and his Actors – 11
Mukesh sang one of his most iconic and quintessential sad songs in the film Aabroo (1968). The film was from the production house of Rawal Films.
Its director was C. L. Rawal, writer and lyricist was G. L. Rawal and producer B. L. Rawal.
It was the debut film of actor Deepak Kumar and the most famous song from the film; Mukesh’s solo was picturized on Deepak Kumar. While preparing this post, I learnt that Deepak Kumar was the son of C. L Rawal.

Alphabetical list of actresses who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice- Part IV
(Actresses whose name begin with the letter D)
In the first three episodes of the series, we listed actresses whose names begin with the first three letters of the alphabet and who had lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog. They we went on to cover a song that was lip synced by another acresses whose name began with the same letter and who had not lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog.
The exercise of finding a “new” actress whose name begins with a particular letter is being increasingly difficult. The three “new” actresses who made their debuts in the blog (as far as lip syncing in Asha Bhonsle’s voice is concerned) were Anju Mahendru, Bhanupriya and Chandrakala.
In this episode, we arrive at the letter D. There are only five actresses who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog.

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –18
I begin this post with an appeal and a request to all the readers of the blog across the globe.
There is a film “Bheema Mera Haathi” released in the year 1973. Out of the 6 songs in the film, one is a duet of Mukesh with Hemlata titled “Hazar Dil Mein Hon Tho Aise Niklen Woh Armaan”. All my efforts to trace this duet have come to naught. So, if anyone has any information regarding the duet, kindly contact the editors or comment on the post.
I have tried with friends, SLBC and even the composer’s family members to no avail. It now appears to me that the songs were never released on records, and the film too remains unfindable.
