Most people who worked in the Film industry in any field- be it acting, direction, composing music, dancing, producing, in fact any department-joined the industry on their own. However, there was also a class of artistes who were forced by the circumstances to work in film industry- for example, the Mangeshkar sisters. Then there were artistes who were forced by their near ones to join film industry, like Meena Kumari or Madhubala,for example. And there were artistes who came on their own to build a career in film industry, like Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand etc. Few artists joined the industry because it was the family tradition,like Raj Kapoor, Shammi and Shashi Kapoor etc.. Then there were also some artistes who had never dreamt of it, but had to enter acting field,like Ashok Kumar,for example.

In this blog I dream of the day when we will cover so many songs that our readers will struggle to give me the farmaish for undiscussed songs.:) Considering the number of songs that are not yet discussed in the blog, that day is far off. But there are very few cases where we have reached that stage already. For instance, we have covered all the available Hindi film/ non film songs of K L Saigal and there are no K L Saigal left to be covered. Similar is the case more or less for the songs of Sajjad Hussain too.
