In bollywood, we have “teasing” songs where hero is seen teasing the heroine rather roughly against her wishes and getting away with it. In real life India, such a conduct is considered highly objectionable and rightly so, since it is clearly sexual harassment. In fact, a uniquely Indian term called “eve teasing” has come into existence in India, much to the amusement of non Indian observers. And such “eve teasing” is punishable under Indian Penal Code, articles 298 (A) and (B).

Rafi was not only gifted with a divine voice, he was also a very humble and considerate individual. He would help out struggling music directors and would sing for them virtually for nothing. And he would give his best to these songs. There are countless Rafi songs sung for anonymous music directors which were picturised on forgotten/ forgettable actors. Quite a few of these songs are very nice and hummable songs.
