Mukesh is considered to be one of the most popular and acclaimed playback singers of the Hindi film industry.

Amongst the numerous nominations and awards he won, his song Kai Baar Yuhi Dekha Hai from the film Rajnigandha (1973) won him the National Film Award for Best Male Playback Singer.

The music teacher who came home to teach Mukeshs sister, Sundar Pyari, found a pupil in Mukesh, who would listen from the adjoining room.

Mukesh left school after the 10th grade and worked briefly for the Department of Public Works.

He experimented with voice recordings during his employment in Delhi and gradually developed his singing abilities and also his musical instrumental skills.

Motilal took him to Mumbai and arranged for singing lessons by Pandit Jagannath Prasad.

During this period Mukesh was offered a role as an actor-singer in a Hindi film, Nirdosh (1941).

His first song was Dil Hi Bujha Hua Ho To as an actor-singer for Nirdosh.

He got his break as a playback singer for actor Motilal in 1945 with the film Pehli Nazar with music composed by Anil Biswas and lyrics written by Aah Sitapuri.

Songs By Mukesh Movie And Mohammed

Initially Mukesh was the ghost voice of Dilip Kumar in this movie and Mohammed Rafi sang for Raj Kapoor.

He delivered many Hits for Naushad in films like: Anokhi Ada (1948), Mela (1948), Andaz (1949).

Other composers who used Mukesh voice for great Dilip Kumar in hit songs like Jeevan Sapna toot gaya were Anil Biswas in Anokha Pyar, Ye Mera Diwanapan hai, Shankar-Jaikishan in Yahudi and Suhana Safar and Dil Tadap Tadap ke, Salil Choudhary in Madhumati.

However, later Dilip Kumar choose Rafi as his ghost voice and Mukesh became the ghost voice of Raj Kapoor.

Mukesh recorded highest number of songs for Shankar-Jaikishan, that is 133 songs followed by kalyanji Anandji ie 99 songs.

Out of 4 Filmfare awards, Mukesh won 3 awards for Shankar-Jaikishan songs.

This number is less than those sung by some of his contemporaries, but the fact is that Mukesh emphasised on quality rather than quantity.

The comparatively fewer songs sung by him in the 1970s can be attributed to his failing health due to his worsening heart problem.

Mukesh sang more songs with the K-A duo after Shankar-Jaikishan.

Bedard Zamana Kya Jane (1958) composed by Kalyanji alone as Kalyanji Virji Shah, and Main hoon mast madari.

Ji Chahta Hai), Humne tumko pyar kiya hai jitna.

Dulha Dulhan), Chal mere dil lehraake chal.

He acted as a hero in the film Mashooka in 1953, opposite Suraiya and in the film Anurag (1956) (he was also the co-producer and composer in the film), opposite Usha Kiran and Mridula Rani.

Mukesh also produced a film Malhar (1951) with hero Arjun heroine Shammi with Darling Films.

When the sound of a Mukesh song drifted to the pitch, Chandrasekhars acknowledgement of the tribute would bring a roar from the crowd.
