New Delhi. When we talk about Hindi music industry, the first name that comes to everyone’s mind is Mohammad Rafi. Today, 24th December, is the 100th birth anniversary of Mohammad Rafi. Singer was born on 24 December 1924 in Punjab, British India. Coming from a small village, Mohammad Rafi Saheb created a new identity for himself in the Hindi industry and gave a new direction to the music world. Today, on the occasion of his 100th birthday, we are going to tell unheard stories related to his career and life.
This is the story of that song of Mohammad Rafi which took care of his wavering career. Kishore Kumar’s career was at its peak in the 70s. Most of the music directors used to make Kishore Kumar sing the songs of their films and due to this, gradually Mohammed Rafi’s career started wavering and he stopped getting work. The biggest reason behind this is said to be Rajesh Khanna.
Collided with Kishore Kumar
It is claimed in media reports that in the 70s, superstar Rajesh Khanna’s first choice for his films was Kishore Kumar. In such a situation, whenever any film director made a film with Rajesh Khanna, it was natural for Kishore Kumar to get his song. In such a situation, in the year 1973, Dharmendra’s film Loafer came in which there was a song in the voice of Mohammad Rafi which left the audience intoxicated.
This song is still on people’s lips even today. The song ‘Aaj Mausam Bada Beimaan Hai’ from the film ‘Loafer’, filmed on Dharmendra and Mumtaz, is still on the lips of music lovers. Even today in the pleasant rainy season you will find someone humming this song.
The film was a superhit
This song created such a magic on the audience that many people watched the film again just because of it. While on one hand Dharmendra and Mumtaz’s film took over Rafi Sahab’s career, his songs made the film a huge hit. With ‘Aaj Mausam Bada Beimaan Hai’, the film and the pairing of Dharmendra-Mumtaz also became a superhit.
