Atuldom is a lovely place to be. We have some like-minded film music lovers who make the job of post writing very easy. Let me explain.
I was planning a post on a song from the 1999 released, Milan Luthria directed and Ramesh Taurani & Kumar S. Taurani (under their banner of Tips Cassettes) produced film “Kachche Dhaage”. I was planning the post as a tribute to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan whose death anniversary happens to be on 16th August. He passed away on this date in 1997 when he was only 49.
Essentially, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (born Parvez Fateh Ali Khan) was a songwriter, singer & music director who was Pakistani by birth, simply because Pakistan was born a year before his birth (Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was born on 13th October, 1948), or else his birthplace Lyallpur would have been in Punjab of undivided India. It seems his ancestry can be traced to Jalandhar where they learnt music & singing and adopted it as their profession. His father, Fateh Ali Khan, was a instrumentalist, vocalist, & qawwal. Initially, his father did not want Khan to follow the family’s vocation. He had his heart set on Nusrat choosing a much more respectable career path and becoming a doctor or engineer because he felt qawwali artists had low social status. However, Khan showed such an aptitude for and interest in qawwali, that his father finally relented.
Khan went on to release movie scores and albums in Europe, India, Japan, Pakistan and the United States. He engaged in collaborations and experiments with Western artists, becoming a well-known world music artist. He toured extensively, performing in over 40 countries. In addition to popularising qawwali music, he also had a profound impact on contemporary South Asian popular music, including Pakistani pop, Indian pop, and Hindi Film music. He was also a master of Hindustani classical music.
One of Khan’s earliest public performances as leader of the family qawwali group was in March 1965, at a studio recording broadcast as part of an annual music festival organised by Radio Pakistan, known as ‘Jashn-e-Baharan’. The performance drew praise from legends such as Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, Umid Ali Khan, Roshan Ara Begum, and Amanat Ali Khan. Khan sang mainly in Urdu and Punjabi and occasionally in Persian, Braj Bhasha, and Hindi.
Shortly before his death, he composed music for three Bollywood films, which include the film ‘Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya’, in which he also sang “Koi Jaane Koi Na Jaane” on-screen with the lead pair, and “Zindagi Jhoom Kar.” He also composed music for ‘Kartoos’ where he sang for “Ishq Da Rutba” and “Bahaa Na Aansoo” alongside Udit Narayan. He died shortly before the movie’s release. His final music composition for Hindi films was for the movie “Kachche Dhaage”, where he sang “Iss Shaan-E-Karam Ka Kya Kehna.” The movie was released in 1999, two years after his death.
There is this post by Nahmji which is the song that I was speaking of in my previous paragraph. This is also the post, that I referred to in my opening para about like-minded atulites who’s posts are helpful in taking posts forward.
Khan had been seriously ill for several months with Kidney & Liver problems, he was rushed to Cromwell Hospital, London where he died of sudden cardiac arrest on 16th August.
Nahmji’s post also talks talks about the two celebrities who have their birthdays today (I had zeroed in on “Kachche Dhaage” for this exact same reason; three celebrities-in-one post being the criteria behind the choice.)
It is interesting to note that both Manisha Koirala & Saif ali Khan share not only their birth dates, but also birth year. Both were born in 1970. Saif in New Delhi & Manisha Koirala in Kathmandu ,Nepal.
Saif’s parents were Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi (the cricketer) & Sharmila Tagore (the actress). Manisha Koirala’s parents were Prakash Koirala (a MP from Nepal’s House of Representatives) & Sushma Koirala (a home-maker)
Manisha attended school & college in India whereas Saif Ali Khan had his schooling in Sanawar (Himachal Pradesh) and college education in the U.K.
Manisha made her Hindi film debut in 1991 through Subhash Ghai’s ‘Saudagar’ & Saif Ali Khan had his debut film releasing 1993 through Yash Chopra’s ‘Parampara’ though he had be signed in 1991 by Rahul Rawail for ‘Bekhudi’ which eventually became the launch for Kamal Sadanah.
Manisha Koirala married a businessman (Samrat Dahal) in 2010 but they divorced in 2012. Saif married actress Amrita Singh in 1991; they became parents to a son & a daughter before they divorced in 2004,. He is now married to Kareena Kapoor & has two children.
So, as we can see from the above, both Manisha Koirala & Saif have been active in the Hindi film industry, for the same length of time; but have worked together in only one film in all these years. Interesting!! And even in that one film, Manisha was Ajay Devgan’s heroine where Namrata Shirodkar played Saif’s girl friend. But we do have one song which has all the four lip-syncing, the voices of Alka Yagnik & Kumar Sanu have been used. The song was written by Anand Bakshi.
Remembering the Sufiyana singer-composer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan by this post & also wishing two young (by the standards of this blog, if I may say so) actors on their birthdays today.

Lyrics
pyaar nahin karna
jahaan saara kehta hai
koi kuchh kar le
ye pyaar ho ke rehta hai
haan
pyaar nahin karna
jahaan saara kehta hai
koi kuchh kar le
ye pyaar ho ke rehta hai
aankh lad jaatee hai
neend ud jaatee hai
aag lag jaatee hai
haay majboor ho ke
dil dena hee painda hai
gham lena hee painda hai
dil dena hee painda hai
gham lena hee painda hai
haan jee haan
tum mere saamne
phir bhee hain dooriyaan
haay rabba
aashiqon kee ye majbooriyaan
tum mere saamne
aa aa aa
phir bhee hain dooriyaan
aa aa aa
haay rabba
aashiqon kee ye majbooriyaan
teree yaad yaad aaye
meree jaan jaan
teree yaad yaad aaye
meree jaan jaan jaaye
raaton ko bajtee hain
khhan khhan choodiyaan
dil dena hee painda hai
gham lena hee painda hai
dil dena hee painda hai
gham lena hee painda hai
haan jee haan
hum pyaar se chale
jaana hai pyaar tak
dariyaa me doob ke dariya ke paar tak
hum pyaar se chale
jaana hai pyaar tak
dariyaa me doob ke dariya ke paar tak
ye haal haal kaisa
ye saal saal
ye haal haal kaisa
ye saal saal kaisa
ik ik pal lamba ik saal jaisa
dil dena hee painda hai
gham lena hee painda hai
dil dena hee painda hai
gham lena hee painda hai
haan
pyaar nahin karna
jahaan saara kehta hai
koi kuchh kar le
ye pyaar ho ke rehta hai
aankh lad jaatee hai
neend ud jaatee hai
aag lag jaatee hai
haay majboor hoke
dil dena hee painda hai
gham lena hee painda hai
dil dena hee painda hai
gham lena hi painda hai
dil dena hee painda hai
gham lena hi painda hai
