February 23, 2026 was the 57th Remembrance Day of Madhubala (14/02/1933 – 23/02/1969) who was called the ‘Venus of India’. In the words of Rinki Roy (daughter of producer-director, Bimal Roy), ‘Madhubala is the face of original celluloid diva’. Dev Anand, in his autobiography, ‘Romancing With Life’ (2007) has described Madhubala as the ‘most beautiful of all the heroines in the fairyland of films, with her natural looks, always fresh as morning dew. Her childlike innocence was accentuated by the most noticeable trait of her character, her famous giggle’.

Remembering Nalini Jayawant (18/02/1926 – 20/12/2010) on the occasion of her 100th birth anniversary today, February 18, 2026. She was one of the top actress of the golden period of 1950s of Hindi films. Unfortunately, like Suraiya, Nalini Jaywant also took early retirement from films when her films of the 1960s failed one after another. Once voted as a most photogenic face of Hindi films, she spent her post-retirement life as a recluse to such an extent that her death on December 20, 2010, got noticed only after a couple of days.

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –16

I begin this very special post with a video of Asha Bhosale ji on her own youtube channel.

A short video wherein she speaks about her first 3 songs in Hindi Films.

I tried to trace the chronological accuracy of the songs enlisted in the video. What I found was that the films mentioned seem to be correct, but she has sung two songs in her second film and so her duet in Lekh (1949) could be her fourth and she mentions it as her third.

Sometime later, I will try to trace the exact chronology, but what matters for this post is her first duet in Hindi Films.

A duet with none other than Mukesh.

I request readers to watch the interesting video as Asha ji talks of her initial days in the industry.

I wish the video was fully on Mukesh, but then she digresses on some other topic.

Anyway, her first interaction with Mukesh is quite interesting and only reaffirms and confirms the godly title given to Mukesh, “a noble soul”.

As is evident from the video, Mukesh right from his initial days had no qualms on worldly pleasures and led a simple, honest and righteous life. No wonder the voice emanating from such a noble soul continues to enthral music lovers all over the world to this day.

Coming to this post, I call it special as it is my 100th Mukesh post on the blog.
