Rafi’s career was shaken by Rajesh Khanna, but he was saved by Dharmendra’s song, the film became a hit upon release.

When we talk about the Hindi music industry, the first name that comes to everyone’s mind is Mohammed Rafi. Today, December 24, is the 100th birth anniversary of Mohammed Rafi. The singer was born on December 24, 1924 in Punjab, British India.

Hindi industry and gave a new direction to the music world

Hailing from a small village, Mohammed 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 you some unheard things related to his career and life.

This is the story of that song of Mohammed Rafi that saved his flopping 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, Mohammed Rafi’s career gradually started to falter. He stopped getting work. The biggest reason behind this is said to be Rajesh Khanna.

The 70s, superstar Rajesh Khanna’s first choice

Media reports claim 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 like his songs. In such a situation, Dharmendra’s film Loafer came out in 1973, which had a song in the voice of Mohammed Rafi that left the audience intoxicated.

This song is still on the lips of people. The song ‘Aaj Mausam Bada Beman Hai‘ from the film ‘Loafer‘, which was filmed on Dharmendra and Mumtaz, is still on the lips of music lovers. Even today, you will see someone humming this song in the pleasant atmosphere of the monsoon.

This film was a super hit. This song created such a magic on the audience that many watched the film again. On the one hand, while Dharmendra and Mumtaz’s film took over Rafi Saheb’s career, his songs made this film a huge hit. The film ‘Aaj Mausam Bada Beman Hai’ and the Dharmendra-Mumtaz pair also became super hits.
