BIOGRAPHY OF MUKESH



Mukesh

Mukesh was a Bollywood playback singer who was active from the late 1940's to the early 1970's.  He, along with Kishore Kumar and Mohammad Rafi, are considered to be the three major male playback singers of this period.  Although he was known as a playback singer, on occasion he worked in other capacities such as actor, music director, and producer.


Mukesh Chandra Mathur was born on the 22nd of July 1923, near Delhi.  His father was named Lala Zorawar Chand Mathur, he was an engineer by profession.  His mother was named Chand Rani.  He was the sixth child in a family of 10.


Mukesh's interest in the arts was seen very early.  As a child he used to surreptitiously listen in on his sister when the music teacher would come to teach her.  As he grew older, he became completely mesmerised by the songs of K.L. Saigal.  He used to spend a lot of time imitating him.


After he finished his 10th standard, Mukesh got a job working for the Delhi Dept. of Public Works.  But even while working, his interest was in the arts.  During his time here, he used to experiment with recordings and worked hard to improve his singing.

Once when Mukesh was singing at his sister's wedding, a distant relative of his named Motilal, Image result for Motilal actor      heard him and was very impressed.  Motilal was a successful actor in Bombay in those days.  Mukesh went to Bombay and stayed with Motilal.  He stayed with him and took singing lessons under Pandit Jagannath Prasad, Image result for Pandit Jagannath Prasad,    because in those days, being a competent singer was a requisite for being an actor.  He was determined to make it in the film business.

He managed to secure a role in the film Nirdosh (1941).

In this role, he acted and sang for himself.  We must remember that the custom of having separate playback singers was not yet the norm, so actors commonly sang their own songs in those days.

 The first song to make an impact with the public was Anil Biswas' Dil Jalta Hai to Jalne De from the movie "Pehli Nazar" (1945).

Yasir nazir. Like so many of his generation, Mukesh imitated Saigal; however in Mukesh's case, it went beyond simply imitating his style.  It would be more correct to consider it mimicry.

 It is said that when Saigal  Image result for Saigal   heard the song, Dil Jalta Hai to Jalne De, he declared that he did not remember singing the song.  He was then told that he did not sing it, but that it was sung by a new singer Mukesh.

 However by the time that NaushadImage result for Naushad released "Mela" in 1948, Video for Mela" in 1948,Mukesh's own distinctive style was evident.

Mukesh acted in a number of films, especially in his early years.  Some of his films were, "Aadab Arz" (1943)Image result for "Aadab Arz" (1943), "Aah" (1953)

In the mid 1940's his personal life was interesting.

  Mukesh developed an amorous relationship with an 18 year old girl named Saral Trivedi Raichand.

  This was an illicit affair, for the girl's family was very much against the match.  She was the daughter of a wealthy Gujarathi Brahman, while he was "unsettled". 

 He did not own his own home. 

 He was engaged in the "disreputable" film business,

 and had an irregular and unreliable source of income.  

But in 1946 they eloped.  

 Naturally there was much gossip about this, and

 there were rampant predictions that this marriage would fail.

  However the marriage lasted until Mukesh's death in 1976.

  In the 30 years of their marriage, they had 5 children.
