MUKESH

Born: July 22, 1923, Delhi

Died: August 27, 1976, Detroit, Michigan, United States

Spouse: Sarla (m. 1946–1976)

Children: Nitin Mukesh, Mohnish, Nalini,Rita, Namrata 

Albums: Golden Collection, Aashiq, The Soulful Voice, more

Mukesh was born in Delhi in a^[3] Mathur Kayastha family. His parents were Zorawar Chand Mathur, an engineer, and Chand Rani. He was the sixth in a family of ten children. The music teacher who came home to teach Mukesh's sister, Sundar Pyari, found a pupil in Mukesh who would listen from the adjoining room. Mukesh left school after the 10th grade and worked briefly for the Department of Public Works. He experimented with voice recordings during his employment in Delhi and gradually developed his singing abilities.

Mukesh's voice was first noticed by Motilal, a distant relative, when he sang at his sister's wedding. Motilal took him to Mumbai and arranged for singing lessons by Pandit Jagannath Prasad. During this period Mukesh was offered a role as an actor-singer in a Hindi film,Nirdosh (1941). His first song was "Dil Hi Bujha Hua Ho To" as an actor-singer for Nirdosh. He got his break as a playback singer for actor Motilal in 1945 with the film Pehli Nazar with music composed by Anil Biswas and lyrics written by Aah Sitapuri. The first song that he sang for a Hindi film was "Dil Jalta Hai To Jalne De".

Mukesh was such a fan of singer K. L. Saigal that in his early years of playback singing he used to imitate his idol.^[4][5] In fact, it is said that when K. L. Saigal first heard the song "Dil Jalta Hai...", he remarked, "That's strange, I don't recall singing that song".^[4]

Mukesh created his own singing style with the help of music director Naushad Ali, who helped Mukesh to come out of his Saigal style and create his own style. Naushad gave him songs for the film Andaz. Initially Mukesh was the ghost voice of Dilip Kumar in this movie andMohammed Rafi sang for Raj Kapoor. He delivered many Hits for Naushad in films like: Anokhi Ada (1948), Mela (1948), Andaz (1949). Other composers who used Mukesh voice for Dilip Kumar in Hit songs like Jeevan Sapna toot gaya were Anil Biswas in Anokha Pyar, Ye Mera Diwanapan hai, Shankar-Jaikishan in Yahudi and Suhana Safar and Dil Tadap Tadap ke, Salil Choudhary in Madhumati. However, later Dilip Kumar choose Rafi as his ghost voice and Mukesh became the ghost voice of Raj Kapoor.

In 1974, Mukesh received National Film Award for Best Male Playback Singer for the song "Kai Baar Yuhi Dekha Hai" from Rajnigandha (1974), and Filmfare Awards for the songs "Sab Kuch Seekha Humne" in the movie Anari (1959), "Sabse Bada Naadan Wahi Hai" inPehchaan (1970), "Jai Bolo Beimaan Ki" in Beimaan (1972) and "Kabhi Kabhie Mere Dil Mein", the title song of film Kabhie Kabhie (1976). A total of around 1,300 songs were sung by him. This number is less than those sung by some of his contemporaries, but the fact is that Mukesh emphasised on quality rather than quantity. The comparatively less songs sung by him in the 70s can be attributed to both the Kishore wave and his failing health due to his worsening heart problem.

Mukesh sang many memorable songs for Kalyanji Anandji music director duo. Mukesh sang more songs with the K-A duo than any other composer. From "Naina hai jadoo bhare..."Bedard Zamana Kya Jane (1958) composed by Kalyanji alone as Kalyanji Virji Shah, and "Main hoon mast madari..." Madari (1959) as the first Kalyanji-Anandji-Mukesh combo, to "Chahe aaj mujhe napasand karo..." Darinda/ 1977, the K-A, Mukesh combination gave numerous popular songs like "Chhalia mera naam...", "Mere toote hue dil se...", "Dum dum diga diga" Chalia(1959), "Mujhko iss raat ki tanhai mein..." Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere (1960), "Hum chhod chale hain mehfil ko..." (Ji Chahta Hai), "Humne tumko pyar kiya hai jitna..." (Dulha Dulhan), "Chal mere dil lehraake chal..." Ishara and "Dheere se chalo..." Johar Mehmood in Goa,"Main to ek khwab hoon..." and "Chand si mehbooba ho..." Himalay Ki Godmein(1965),"Waqt kartaa jo wafaa..." Dil Ne Pukara,"Deewanon se yeh mat poocho..."Upkar, "Khush raho har khushi hai..." Suhaag Raat and "Humsafar ab yeh safar kat jaayega..." Juari, "Chandi ki deewaar..." and "Le chal le chal mere jeevan saathi..." Vishwas(1969), "Koi jab tumhara hriday tod de..." Purab Aur Paschim, "Darpan ko dekha..." Upaasna, "Jo tumko ho pasand..." Safar and "Mujhe nahin poochni tumse beeti baatein..." Anjaan Raahein (1970).

Don't Question Credibility Of President's Office, BJP tells Arvind Kejriwal

NEW DELHI:  BJP today hit out at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for questioning the credibility of the President's office over refusal of assent to a bill on appointment of parliamentary secretaries, and accused him of being "obsessed" about attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for no rhyme or reason.

BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said Mr Kejriwal was "frustrated" that his flying ambition has crash-landed and asked him not to make the President's decision a "political issue".

"Office of the President of India and the Election Commission are independent institutions with great credibility. You ( Arvind Kejriwal) have certain political ambitions, rightly so under a democratic system, but for god's sake don't demean the credibility of the President of India because in the end you are demeaning the democracy of this country," Mr Patra said.

Mr Kejriwal, earlier today, accused PM Modi of indulging in "political vendetta" over the refusal of assent by the President to the bill that protects 21 party legislators who have been appointed parliamentary secretaries and face the prospect of disqualification, and said BJP is "scared" of Aam Aadmi Party and unable to digest its defeat in Delhi.

Asked about the Prime Minister's role in the process as the bill has been turned down by the President and not him, Mr Kejriwal said, "President does not take any decision. Probably the file doesn't even go to him. The decision is taken by the government and the Home Ministry decided this."

Mr Patra said the issue of disqualification of 21 legislators lies before the President and the Election Commission.

"This issue is not with BJP. We don't have to do anything to it," he said, adding that the complainant in the case was an independent lawyer.

He said that as per the existing law formulated in 2006, Delhi is entitled to have one parliamentary secretary and Mr Kejriwal should have ensured its amendment before appointing 21 legislators as parliamentary secretaries.

"But he was trying to amend it in retrospective and this has been caught red-handed," Mr Patra said.

He alleged that Mr Kejriwal, instead of working for development of Delhi, was only attacking the Prime Minister and was obsessed about it.

The BJP spokesperson claimed AAP legislators are the "highest paid" legislators in the country and they had even got a 400 per cent salary rise.

"When they took their oath, they came in metro, e-rickshaw and other simple modes of transport as they are going to do service. Now they say if a legislator has to visit an hospital or a school, he should get additional renumeration, a red beacon car among others. Is this service or commercialisation of service?" Mr Patra said.

Sambit Patra said BJP is not afraid of AAP and the people are watching how the Delhi government is performing.

Petitions have been filed with President Pranab Mukherjee seeking disqualification of the 21 AAP legislators on the ground that they occupied 'office of profit' violating constitutional provisions.

Acting as a quasi-judicial body, the Election Commission, to which the President referred the issue, had sought replies from the legislators.

Through the bill for amending the Delhi Members of Legislative Assembly (Removal of Disqualification) Act, 1997, the AAP government wanted "retrospective" exemption for the parliamentary secretaries from disqualification.

In March, 2015, Mr Kejriwal had passed an order appointing the 21 party legislators as parliamentary secretaries.

AAP Government Allows Officials To Travel In Private Airlines With Rider

NEW DELHI:  Relaxing the rules regarding air travel by its officials, the Delhi government has permitted them to travel in private airlines but with a rider.

A senior government official said according to government's decision, officers can travel in private airlines as long as the fare is less than that of the national carrier.

"On the directives of Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, the Finance Department has issued a circular permitting officers to travel in private airlines," official said.

But the fare of that airline should be less than that of Air India, he said.

Earlier this month, the Centre also allowed its officials to fly in airlines other than Air India but with certain conditions.

Bengal Registers 79% Polling In Round 3

Bengal Registers 79% Polling In Round 3; One Died, Man's Ear Sliced Off

KOLKATA:  Violence marked the third phase of the assembly elections in Bengal today as one person was killed in a political clash and the ear of another person was sliced off in the districts. In the evening, BJP minister Babul Supriyo was heckled when he went to cast his vote along with his parents. The fate 418 candidates for 62 seats were sealed today -- the voting percentage was 79.22.

Here are the 10 latest developments in this story:

1  In Murshidabad's Domkol assembly seat, a polling agent of the CPM died during clashes. He was shot dead as alleged workers of the CPM and Trinamool Congress threw bombs at each other.

     The TMC said the fight was between CPM and Congress workers. TMC candidate Samir Hassan said his party did not have any influence in Murshidabad - the area is a traditional stronghold of the Congress.

     The ear of CPM worker Lal Chowdhury was sliced off following a quarrel between the workers of CPM and the Trinamool Congress during voting in Burdwan's Ketugram Assembly seat. Eyewitnesses said his leg was also fractured.

     In the evening, BJP lawmaker Babul Supriyo was heckled, allegedly by TMC workers, when he went to cast his vote at a booth in north Kolkata.

     Alleging that around 40% booths were captured by the TMC, Mr Supriyo said President's Rule "must be imposed in the state for 3 months".

     One lakh security personnel were pressed into service for the voting in Murshidabad, Burdwan and Nadia districts. In Kolkata, the ruling Trinamool Congress holds six of the seven seats where polling was held.

     Key candidates up for vote today included Trinamool Congress ministers Shashi Panja and Sadhan Pande, BJP national secretary Rahul Sinha, five-time Congress legislator Md Sohrab and retired police officer Nazrul Islam. Former Trinamool lawmaker Soumen Mitra, one of the architects of the Left-Congress combine contested from Kolkata's Chowringhee seat.

    Trinamool, the Left-Congress alliance and BJP have fielded candidates in all the seats in the state, where the Narada sting operation, Saradha chit fund scam and the collapse of Kolkata's Vivekananda flyover have put the ruling Trinamool Congress in a tight spot.

     A notice to West Bengal Chief Minister West Bengal Mamata Banerjee and widely-criticised remarks by Trinamool leader Rezzakh Mollah against BJP candidate Roopa Ganguly have also put the ruling party under pressure.

1   Polling in West Bengal, which is holding a seven-phase election, will be held in three more phases ending on May 5. Votes will be counted on May 19.
