Mukesh and his NFS – 15
At the outset, as I post the last of the 4 available private songs (out of 6) which Mukesh sang in Delhi in 1939-40, I take this opportunity to once again profusely thank Shri Pawan Tanay ji for uploading these priceless gems on his youtube channel.
Had it not been for his generous gesture, these 4 private songs would have also remained only in print with no access to sound bites of a 16-year-old who would soon turn into a legend.

Mukesh and his NFS – 14
We come back to arguably the most nostalgic songs that Mukesh sang in his life. I say life and not singing career because he recorded these half a dozen songs before he set foot in Bombay in 1940-41.
A young boy, 17 years of age managed to record 6 songs in Delhi and have them released on discs. How he pulled this great feat is not documented.

I have covered Mukesh’s one duet each with Hemlata and Bela Saver. They can be found here and here.

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –19
In today’s post on Mukesh and his co-singers, we take up one of the two songs that he sang with playback singer Bela Saaver (Saver). In one of my recent posts, I have requested readers to add more information on this singer. There have been no responses yet.
My own efforts are also not yielding a decent bio-post on her. She has given playback in films like Basti aur Bazaar (1973), Phir Aaya Toofan (1973), Gora Baboo (1976) etc. There are also quite a few NF ghazals and devotional songs sung by her.

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.

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.

Mukesh and his Actors – 10
This will be the last of the duets that Mukesh sang with Suman Kalyanpur. For obvious reasons, I take back readers to my post on their complete collaboration. Here is the memorable post.
Out of the 36 duets they sang, 5 were yet to be covered by that time. One was covered in that post itself. One was a cheeky post taken away by Atul ji, citing reasons why I could not have taken it up. 😊
Thereafter, I covered two duets and this is the last. It is from the film Chori Chori (1973).
Well, this film is not to be confused with the more popular Chori Chori (1956) even though both films were composed by the same composers, Shanker Jaikishan.

Mukesh and his Actors – 09
Actor Rakesh Pandey (9 April 1940-21 March 2025) made his acting debut in the film Sara Aakash (1969). He won the President’s Award for his role in the film. Apart from Hindi films and TV serials, he was also associated with Bhojpuri silver and small screen and won several awards in the latter regional language association.
He was also associated with FTII, IPTA etc. But with all these startups and awards, my perception is that he could not place himself in the top league of actors. He is, however, known for playing family-centric roles and his rich contributions counted and remembered.

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –17
Continuing the series on Mukesh and his co-singers, I bring forth the songs that he sang with Usha Timothy. I had written this post about four months back, but it was put under hold because I had built up a narrative on half-truths and unverified claims as they were imperative for the subject of the post. The editors, however, thought it was prudent not to include such questions/hypotheses in the post. Today, I prompted myself to make some changes and rewrite an abridged version.
