Kishore Kumar : Teray Baigair Zindagi : When he planned to commit suicide and S D Burman rescued him
Gum Ki rahon Mein, Mujhay Chhod Kay Janay walay
Bewaafa Kyon na Kahay, Tujhko Zamanay walay
What could be the reason.What could it be? Why would a very simple, normal and a lovable character who had every womenfolk’s whispering these lines:
Shokh Haseno Koh, Mai Awaaz De raha Hoon, Hai mai Mohabbat Koh Naye Andaaz De Raha Hoon
Baton Say In Baton Mai , In Dilkhash Mulaquaton Mei , Mai aa Gaya Hoon, Lekar Saath Raton Mai…….
Or the men’s whispering these lines always yo draw inspiration, and the power:
Geet Meray Hothon Kay , Naujawan jagtey hain, Neend Nahi aatee Hai , Kai Armman Jagtay Hai
Girkar Phir Un Yadon Mai , Nagmo Ki Barsaaton Mai , Mai aa Gya Hoon, Lekar Saath Raton Mai …………..
Think of suicide and take that extreme steps to commit suicide…….
Something in life are somewhat, some kind of an incident which cannot be told to anybody and it is kept secret. There are , maybe one or two who knew about or would know something that we might have kept it as a secret so that there is no tremor in the personal life of that man whom we wish to survive and survive for the cause of humanity to survive. One such incident which nobody knew was that the GREATEST singer born to this earth Kishore Kumar in 1966 nearly contemplated suicide and he nearly did that but there was a GOD who saved him and he was none other than Mr S D Burman the famous and one of the best musician that was ever born at India .
Why was that a person like Kishore Kumar wanted to commit suicide and what could have been the reason Well this article is all about that
Madhubala & Kishore Kumar :: The first of miraculous pair of Indian silver screen
Madhubala was a name to conjure with the silver screen. She infact was one of the topmost herioine that the Indian silver screen would always mention . She was a natural beauty and one of the best FIVE face that was born to the mother earth or born by the mother earth . In 1955 she along with Sophia Lauren and Maryln Monroe from Bollywood and Suchitra Sen and Waheeda Rehman were adjusted as the best FIVE very natural abd the most of the most of beautiful beautiful face that ever was to be on the silver screen .
There is a real strory . Once Dev Anand and Shammi Kapoor were sitting with Madhubala on the set of Kalla Paani . Shammi Kapoor had just come to wish Dev Anand a GOOD MORNING on the set and in that presumption the trio sat near to each other gossiping .The song of the film” Achha Toh Mai Haari Maan Jao Naa “was to be screened on Madhubala and Dev Anand
While the gossip was on madhubala just requested Dev Anand to get her a paan ie a betel which Dv Anand got it Madhubala started cewing it . Minutes after that both Dev Anand and Shammi Kapoor in a surprise as if some scorpion had stung them got up from the chair and rushed to Madubala screamimng- “ Kya Hua, Aapko Kya Hua “ Kuch Bhi Toh Nahi replied Madhubala . They poked their eye on the throat of Madhubala to see what was wrong A shy Madhubala simply put her hand clusping it on her face to cover her face with a little bit of shame . They realized that there was nothing wrong with Madhubala .
Natural Beauty, A simple “ treat “ of beauty magnanimous : Mesmerising Madhubala
It was that the saliva of the beetel which she was chewing was getting to her throat and from there it was going deep downward The colour of the beetle mixed with the saliva was passing through the throat of Madhubala Both Shammi Kapoor and Dev Anand could breathe freely. They were assured that there was nothing wrong with madhubala That was the beauty and that was the colour of the skin of Madhubala who not only had a beautiful face, one of the BEST five that existed in the world but had one of the best very natural glowing skin. Later she asked Dev Anand to help her get a glass of water for her to drink which Dev Anand through a set boy got her.
When she started drinking the water, both could see the stream of water flowing from the mouth to the throat and there from the neck to the place where water goes after drinking That was the glow, the natural beauty of Madhubala. She had starred with Ashok Kumar in the film Howrah Bridge and that song Aayeeye Maharbaan, Baithiye Jaan-E-Jaan, Shauk Se Lijiye, Ishq Ka Imthihaan was the song that hit the entire nation and that is why she was picked by Ashok Kumar to starr in a film Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi directed by Kishore Kumar That was the first occasion that Kishore Kumar and Madhubala were paired and came into the limelight and made a tremendous and a miraculous pair on the screen.
The Kishore Kumar- Madhubala saga : The pairing was the mix of milk & water
Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi was such a hit during those days that it broke all the record It was something which the people would not believe Kishore Kumar was a indescribable star on the screen What he would bring out the next would be even ten miles ahead of the magic what P C Sarkar could do. That was Kishore Kumar . Over it it was Madhubala in that movie.What made the head, the brain go berseck was the dance that Kishore Kumar would do Jis dancing steps were the epiotome of Anarkali or any courtesan of the Lord Shiva who would dance so miraculous. The steps that Kishore Kumar would produce in the dancing scene was something that Shammi Kapoor would appreciate always.To sum that his dances were maverick marvel and to match him step by step and answer him for all his dancing step by dance was that completely had send the entire film world in frenzy This made a pair in the Indian silver screen. The Kishore-Madhubala pair was to create rage and make the rags to rich in the films thereafter
Marriage and the worst to follow
Kishore Kumar later was to act with madhubala in a few film . In one of the film all of a sudden during the shoot Kishoreda noticed that Madhubala started vomiting. He was shocked and he ws stunned . What happened he asked and the reply he got was- I’M SUFFERING FROM BLOOD CANCER . There is nobody to take care of me. I have ben literally abandoned and if even I have some relatives there is no time for me for anybody , she replied . This termorised and terrified Kishore Kumar . Will you marry me he replied. Later knowing fully well that Madhubala would not survive for many a yaesr, Kishore Kumar married Madhubala converting himself into a Muslim only to marry her to take care for her.
Discarded From The Family
Kishore Kumar came from a very traditional, deep rooted orthodox Bengali Brahmin family. Generally the Bengalis especially the Brahmins just do not like their family members to marry outside the caste and their community If it is a pur Brahmin family in Bengali’s they would not even think of marrying the Bengali’s who were lowly placed to them. The Bengali Brahmin’s have a deep rooted culture, belief and tradition and they believe deeply in the norms and the nomenclatures of their tradition. Marrying a Muslim lady and that too belonging to a Brahmin family- it was simple, Kishoreda was separated and cut of from his family members
It was such that his father told every relative of their family not to keep any relation with him . He was not invited to be a part of any culture or any programme that the family would held That literally drove Kishoreda
to wildnderness and made him go insane . He could not bear that cut-off implanted to him by his family members especially his father
Kishoreda was a pet and a eyeball of his mother .His separation from his mother just took all the juice from his body and his life. He could not brerathe properly for many a days for not seeing his mother . Over it the condition of Madhubala was worsening and she was losing all the composure of her health That made him go crank-and-bonk for everything .
Flop films and songs were not getting the public due
Kishoreda after the film Doh Dooni Chaar which he starred with Tanuja was not getting any recognition for the acting that he was doing and his songs also took a back seat from the era 1965 to about 1967 Over that his wife Madhubala who was weighing about 55 kgs before the illness hit her was reduced to a mere weight of about 35 Kgs That was something which really was taking all the juice of his life
To make the matter simple for him the late singer Madan Mohan recommended his name to the Director of the film “ Teray Baigar Jindagi “ This film had Joy Mukherjee, Sharmila tagore and Saira Banu .It was a movie which was based on the belief of rebirth. Sharmila Tagore was to act in the first half of the film with Joy Mukherjee who was an Army Ofiicer in that film and in that role, and after her death it was Saira Banu who was to act as a rebirth of Sharmila but in a different very mod manner with she heslef being a Muslim lady in that role
The script and the story of the film was such that it was assumed that if the film hit the floor it would be a Golden Jubilee film The songs were simply written in heaven, composed at the music hall of Lord Shiva and sung by Kishoreda .Simply to put it it was as if a mother getting to know that the baby for delivery was DEAD but when the baby was taken out of the tomma , the Mother found that it was breathing and it had life to live long Imagine the joy and the wonder that would be created if it such really happems to a mother to a lady That was the wonder of the song that Kishoreda sang The song was “ Gum Ki Rahon Mai, Mujhkoh Chhod Kar Janay walay “ and ofcourse the WONDER of all the wonder was the one which Kishoreda sang ” Aaj Mujhe Jul Janay Bho Doh, aaga say aag Bujhanay Bhi Doh, Duor Duor Na Rahon “ , simply to say WHIZZ and WIZ .Whatwas so beautiful was the song which Mohammed rafi sang in this film for Saira Banu and Joy Mukherjee which was such “ Bujhaaa Bujhaa Hai Samaa, Idhar Udhar, Yahan Wahan, Hai Jiska Naam Hai Tahira, Who Hai Kahan Who hai Kahan, and then the song starts Dhadkan hai Tu Hur Dil Ki, Daulat Hai Tu Har Mehfil Ki , Tahira, Tahira Tahira, Oh! Meri Tahira
At that time Saira Banu was just married to Dilip Kumar. When one fine day Dilip Kumar heard everything about the film from Madam Saira Banu and when he heard these three songs and the plot, the story, he just said to Saira Banu, his wife “ Wait you will be the first actress in the annals of the Hindi Film then to command Rs 50,000=00 per film and also that “ The saga and the era of Rafi Bhai is over Kishore Kumar is the next Baadshah of Indian music industry . The music composed ny the Late Madan Mohan was simply as I described, it was composed there at the music hall of Lord Shiva and that is it What more to say about the music. If you have not heard either these songs or it’s music you have NO RIGHT to stay even for a fraction of a second in this earth
Disaster, Disaster & Disaster ; Kishore Kumar was broken
Unfortunately the Director of this film was dead. No body could figure out how and why and for what reason did he die but he was dead .The film could not be released. The amount that ought to be paid to Mohammed Rafi and Kishore Kumar could not be paid. The music director late madan Moham too was not paid.Everything was hinging on the fact that after the film would be released, about a lakh of Rupess would be paid to Madan Mohan and he would pay the amount to Mohammed Rafi, Kishore Kumar and his team beside Asha Bhosle who just gave the backgroung humms of the song that Rafi Sahab had sung in this film The only
beneficiary was Sharmila Tagore who was paid 75% of her signing amount and Saira Banu who was paid about 40% of her signing amount The rest went for a toss
Bad luck and bad moment just come and when they come thet at time cause such a despair that it levaes everybody and everyone jumping to death The Director of the film had taken a huge amount of money to finance his film . After his death his wife too committed suicide . If that was not more, Kishoreda was hit by another thunderbolt.
IT Department: It’s notice and the high handedness of his Secretary
Kishore Kumar had a Secretray whom he would believe to the wits end and to the dead end of this earth. In such a time of adversity which one after one was hitting him, he had only his Secretary to believe and bank upon He was paying with all trust every bit of money to his Secretary who always would say him that tis and that amount of money ought to be paid to the IT Department. Blanking and hoping and laying all his trust on his Secretary, Kishoreda would tear cheques after cheques to hand this money to his Secretary to apy all his dues of IT
However one fine day he received a notice from the IT department that about 5 lakhs of money ought to be paid by him to the IT department . This surprised him. He made a stolid and a valid point to the IT Commissioner that he had been paying all his IT dues and that he should not be considered as a defaulter in any case. But were where were the records to show .That was for the first time that Kishoreda could realize all about the wicked world. He was to be put behind the bar . However it Was S D Burman to came to know all about this, paid some amount on behalf of Kishoreda and saw to it that he did not gp to the jail. Some amount also was paid by Dev Anand to see that this man was not languished an his talent was not bureied in the jail .
Had no money even to buy food
Just lucky if he was, not to be imprisoned and knowing that the Film “Teray Baigar Zindagi “ was not to see the light of the day at all, facing a situation where he was socially ousted and boycotted from his family , he was in a state of affair that he had no money even to buy a kilogram of rice and even half a kilogram of dal to eat for atleast once a time in a day.Over it his son Amit was growing. His expenditure, school fee, and other incidental expenss, it made him loose his sense.
Six lakhs as the income tax defaulter in terms of money, Amit’s education and other expenditure, and no help from anywhere, no film or song offer in hands. What would he do. He was by then divorced from his wife Ruma Devi, and his second wife day after day was breathing her last it seem , where would he go
Miserable ands mired by all these one fine day he w ent to Shamsad Begum, the only one who would talk to him with an open heart, to say that if you have some money and vcan consider it spending on Amit, considering him to be tor son, send him to Kolkatta to his mother . Also I would not like to see anybody and even you here after. Pay my best of the wishes to Lata and Asha and tell them that I was sorry if I ever had hurt them .
A wise Shamshad Begum could understand the episode. She wasted no time. She spoke to Asha who in turn narrarted all about this to Sachinda. Sachinda immediately took a car and rushed to the place where he lived during those days He found that the home was locked. He could smell the cake and the burnt that had happened to the cake.
He immediately went to the Nariman Point fully knowing thaht Kishoreda would be over there.On reaching there he saw Kishoreda writing a letter ofcourse on a piece of paper. He took away that letter. What surprised him was that he was carrying the medicine, infact the poison which is used to kill the rat . He seized it from his hand and threw it there at the sea.
A literally dead Kishoreda could not stop and halt his heart. TYears simply rolled down and he simply wept, wept and wept till he could he kept on weeping. On the trime when he would do this his head ws placed on the shoulder on Sachinda. He just kept on saying – “ what is the use for me to live at all. When nobody wants me, neither my family, nor this industry, nor the people of the world who are just to llot me, why should I live and for whom “
Listening to him, Sachinda just replied- for me, for Dev Anand , For Lata, for Asha, for Amit, for the entire film industry . We need you. You may not need us but we need you . Come back
I would be DEAD if you are no more Kishore : Sachinda
Sachinda was like the breathe to the nose, was like the pump of the heart to circulate the blood, was like the hair to the body to Kishore Kumar He could not even visualize even a single minute of his life without Kishore Kumar . He plainly told him that – if you are not alive my entire world would be like the world without the air to breathe. I would not like to live even for a single minute without you Kishore. Change your mindset
He then took Kishoreda to a corner of the sea at Nariman Point, sat with him to share some jignuts, and tea that was sold at the beach and plotted his entire story. He said I have atlesat five projects and about 25 songs for you between the period of 1967 to 1970. He also assured that Kalyanji-Anandji and Laxmikant Pyarelall had spoken to him ie Sachinda about a dozen of songs that they wanted to renditite with him It was just the time that he needed to wait . Everything would fall to place
Well in 1967 came Guide and there was a song Gaata rahay Mera Dil, then came a film “ Dil, daulat Aur Duniya “ of Rajesh Khanna and Sadhana with a song Saath Mai Pyaara Saathi Hai, came 1968 and there was “ Padosan “ and better I did not waste my time talking about the same .
They say and they have written all about the song Roop Tera Mastana, Pyaar Mera Deewana as the first solo song that Kishore sang for Kaka Babu of the Indian film industry. ALL BULLSHIT I SAY The first song that Kishoreda sang for Rajesh Khanna was this one from Dil, Daulat aur Duniya .One can hear it in the U-Tube and could knopw how for the first time the two mingled and then what was the twelth sky that created the heavens .That was the start of the Rajesh-Kishoreda and that was that thereafter .
Came 1969 and there was a Film “ Pyaar Ka Mausam “ with a song “ Tum Bin Jaoon Kahaan “ a song that for the first time removed Mohammed Rafi from the topmost echelon of the Indian music industry and then it was Aradhana In between there was a Film Doh rastay with a song “ Khiza Kay Phoolon Say Aatee Kabhie Bahar Nahin “ Innumerous stahe show all over the world and it took him four years to repay all his penalty and the principle amount for which he was the IT defaulter His first Filmfare award to came in the 1970 for a song from the film Aradhana and that was “ Roop Tera Mastana , Pyaar Mera Dewana “
Kishore Kumar Holds the sway but Madan Mohan is finished :Teray Baigar Zindagi relieved
Just as Kishore Kumar was making the sky to touch his feet everyday, his greatest friend of the Indian Film Industry madan Mohan was facing the crux and the disaster of his life . The film TERAY BAIGAR ZINDAGI put all hopes to Mr Madan Mohan ho was an illustrious music composer . He had financed the payment for the music team of that movie through one of his friend But as the Director of the film expired and with the film not being released at all, Madan Mohan also was taking a step back of his life
When Kishoreda heard it he went upto Madan Mohan and said that I will sing all the songs of the film Parwana for your music team, for you Pay me afterwards but let me help you That served as a balm for Madan Mohan. It was one song- “ Simtee See, Sharmayee See, Kaisi Duniya Say Tum Aayee Hoh “ . there werr many in that film but this was the one and this was enough . Shy winning music composer that he was the music he composed for this song was enough for him to come back as a winner. He later it is said that had paid Kishore Kumar about a Lakh of rupees for singing three songs in this film
Teray Baigar Zindagi :: Have you heard the song
It happens. A person lives for all his life and goes everywhere in this world but he fails for some reason to go to Haz in the case of Muslim. It happens. A person livesall his life and goes everywhere and he fails to go to the Chaardhaam. That is for the Hindus. It happens . A person goes to the entire world but he fails to go to Bethelem . That happens to the Christians
It has happened for the lovely people of this country. Have you ever heard the songs of the film Teray Baigar Zindagi . Have you.
Well these are the songs-:
1 Gum Ki rahon Mai, Mujhkoh Chhodh Kar Janay walay
2 Aaj Mujhay Jul Janay Bhi Doh
https://youtu.be/3LXDSpbPqiA
The link of the song is - https://youtu.be/3LXDSpbPqiA . One can go to the U - Tube / You - Tube through the link to hear the song which will captivate one and sundry.
3. Dhadkan Hai Tu har Dil Ki , Daulat Hai Tu Mehfil Ki
Go to the Google and then to the U-Tube or You Tube , write the songs and press enter Hear these three songs
This is my gift to the nation today on August fourth, when we celebrate the 81st birth anniversary of the GREATEST Kishoreda
Really to say, and really to make you walk understand, if you have not heard the first two song, you have not lived any moment of your life. If you have not heard all the three you will never go either to the Chaar Dhaam, or to the Haz or to Bethelem. For that would be the CURSE of the almighty to you the Muslims, the Hindus or the Christians
Do make it a point today and everyday to hear these songs as ascribed atleast once a day Would also REQUEST ISRG to attach these songs like they did it for the song Roop Tera Mastana in that articl
Those three songs unattached is like not being attached to the Father or the mother after the birth
That is it
Regards and Thanks
