To change our mood and taste from Asha Ji’s rare songs, we move towards my most favourite amongst all the playback singers in all languages, the Legend worthy of being awarded the Bharat Ratna, Mohd. Rafi Saab.
We will keep the discussion about the Bharat Ratna for another day.

The theme of a married woman who chooses her domestic responsibilities by giving up her flourishing singing career has been covered in some Hindi movies. The woman’s resultant emotional toll from her loneliness and the internal conflict between as a housewife and her unfulfilled aspirations was first explored in the film, ‘Anuradha’ (1960) as far as I know. In this film, Leela Naidu gives up her singing career to marry an idealistic doctor, Balraj Sahni who is completely engrossed in his work to serve the poor villagers. A somewhat similar situation is depicted in ‘Guide’ (1965) when Waheeda Rahman is forced to give up the dancing career by her husband, archaeologist, Kishore Sahu who is more passionate about his archaeological discoveries than about his wife. In Both these films, suppression of passion makes wife’s life miserable though the end result in both these films are different.
‘Abhinetri’ (1970) has a similar theme in which Hema Malini gives up her successful career as a dancer after her marriage with Shashi Kapoor. A scientist who gets completely engrossed with his research work in his laboratory. The film was produced and directed by Subodh Mukerji under the banner of Subodh Mukerji Productions. The cast included Shashi Kapoor and Hema Malini in the lead roles supported by Deb Mukerji, Nirupa Roy, Nazir Hussain, Asit Sen, Nazima, Badri Prasad, Bela Bose etc.

“Naach Uthhe Sansaar”(1976) was directed by Yakub Hasan Rizvi for Regal Theatres, Bombay. The movie had Shashi Kapoor, Hema Malini, Simmi Garewal, Rajinder Nath, Leela Mishra etc in it.
HFGK lists six songs in “Naach Uthhe Sansaar”(1976). But I notice that song number 1 (aa jaa re aaja) and song number 6 (sookhi dharti dhool udaawe) is one single song that is erroneously mentioned as two separate songs in HFGK.

‘Basera’ (1981) was produced by Ramesh Behl under his banner, Rose Movies and was directed by Ramesh Talwar. The cast included Shashi Kapoor, Rakhee, Rekha, Poonam Dhillon, Raj Kiran, Iftekhar, A K Hangal, Sudha Chopra etc. The film was based on a Marathi novel written by Leela Phansalkar. In fact, Ramesh Talwar has directed IPTA play, Tanhaai’ (1971) based on this novel. It was decided to convert his IPTA play into the film, ‘Basera’ (1981).
The film is about two sisters who are wedded to the same man by a twist of fate. In an interview published in ‘Filmfare’, April 22, 2016, Ramesh Talwar had revealed that for the roles of two sisters, he had already finalised Rakhee. He told Rakhee that if she accepted the role of the younger sister, he would take Nutan for the role of elder sister. However, Rakhee preferred the elder sister’s role and suggested Rekha’s name for the younger sister’s role. After the separation of Rakhee and Gulzar, this was the first film with Rakhee in which Gulzar got associated as the screenplay, dialogues and song writer. Interestingly, Rekha, apart from her role as the second wife of Shashi Kapoor is also in the role of Raj Kiran’s mother, who in reality, is elder to her by 5 years.
