A well known playback artist, Mukesh was born Mukesh Chand Mathur. He was initiated into films as an actor by his cousin, Motilal. However, his acting career failed to take off and Mukesh took to direction. His singing career started in 1941 with the film Nirdosh. Success came with the song Dil Jalta Hai composed by Anil Biswas in Pehli Nazar.
It was Mukesh’s relationship with Raj Kapoor that slung him to the forefront as a singer. Starting Barsaat, Mukesh came to be recognized as the voice of Raj Kapoor. From Chhod gaye baalam in Barsaat to Awaara hoon in Awara, Mera joota hai Japani in Shri 420 and many other songs, Mukesh rendered some of the most popular songs over the next two decades.
Mukesh exceeded expectations fundamentally in sad numbers. In 1970s, he sang the all-time memorable songs of Anand, the President’s Award-winning Kai baar yunhi dekha hai in Rajaigandha, and the evergreen songs of Kabhi Kabhie. Mukesh won the Filmfare Award for Best Playback Singer four times, for the films Anari, Pechchaan, Beimaan and Kabhi Kabhie. Mukesh died of a heart attack while on a tour in the United States.
