Very funny, Atul. I remember having to prepare charts and doing craft work for my children. At times I have also written homework for my son.
THEY will learn how to make charts when they have to make them for their children, and I will be standing behind them and laughing.

My wife prepares models, charts etc for our daughter’s projects etc too, all the time grumbling that it is the last time she was doing it.

Atul ji,
😀 😀 😀
This theme must be very close to your heart, to have prompted you to write a post and search a song for it.
When children are in school, it is education all over again for the parents. 😀 😀

I am wondering whether his father was Jairaj. Perhaps not. Your take.

Nitin ji,
Indeed Dilip Raj was the son of veteran actor p. Jairaj. Jairaj,himself a Telugu person,had married a Punjabi woman and had 2 sons and 3 daughters from her.
Dilip Raj perhaps started from Daadi ma-1966 and worked in 16 films. he wrote some stories too.he acted in some TV serials also.

Arun ji,
As I scan the information in the Geet Kosh, the name of Dilip Raj appears in the 1962 film ‘Alhaa Udal’, in which Jairaj and Nirupa Roy have played the lead roles. Then, in the next three years, Dilip Raj has done one film each year under the direction of Khwaja Ahmed Abbas. In 1963 it is ‘Shehar Aur Sapna’, 1964 it is ‘Hamara Ghar’ and in 1965 it is ‘Aasmaan Mahal’. He then appeared in ‘Daadi Maa’ in 1966.
Another interesting thing that I noticed is that the name Dilip Raj appears in a film from 1956 titled ‘Parivaar’. The interesting part is that the lead pair in this film are Jairaj and Usha Kiron. Is it possible that the Dilip Raj in this film is a child artist or a very young artist? Or maybe another actor? I am not sure.

Dilip Raj was indeed the son of the actor Jairaj, who acted from silent era movies to mostly in the 1950s. His son was a good for nothing parasite who forced his father to sell lots of properties around Mumbai to finance his failing businesses! Jairaj with his daughter had to fight him in the court as he made his father prisoner in his own home and withheld medical treatment so that Jairaj would die!

The guy who featured in this song Dilip Raj is there in Kanyadaan(1968-opposite Sayeeda Khan, If my memory serves me right “Sunday ko pyaar huaa”from the Kanyadaan was picturised on him,He plays Asha Parekh`s husband->Asha Parekh`s marriage in the movie takes place in her childhood itself)
Dilip raaj was also there in 1966 movie Daadi Maa(opposite Mumtaz)
Atul ji

Prakash ji,
Dilip Raj was the lead in KA Abbas films – ‘Shehar Aur Sapna’ (1963) and ‘Aasmaan Mahal’ (1965). He has appeared in maybe about a dozen films in the sixties and early seventies.
