Born Suraiya Jamaal Sheikh
June 15, 1929 (1929-06-15) (age 79)
Gujranwala, Punjab, now Pakistan
Died January 31, 2004 (aged 75)

Suraiya Jamaal Sheikh (June 15, 1929 - January 31, 2004) was a singer and actress in Indian films, and was popularly known as Suraiya in the film industry. She became a superstar in the 1940s and 50s during the time when actors sang their own songs. IF SHANTA APTE brought spontaneity and refreshing directness in her singing and song-delivery style, Suraiya marked a completely dif­ferent but equally important breakaway from tradition. Born Suraiya Jamal Sheikh in Lahore, she introduced the typical 'adakari' of North Indian Muslims into Hindi films. Expertly combining gestures, music, speech and eloquent eyes, she paved the way for later hearthrobs like Rekha and Madhuri Dixit with her bewitching song delivery. Alhough Noorjehan and Khurshid also brought the same Muslim adakari onscreen with their films, it was Suraiya who shone out as the epitome of that style. Save for her arresting, almond-shaped eyes, Suraiya was not a classic beauty; nor did she trained in classical music. Suraiya , the lovely melody queen created aura with her popular numbers like 'tu mera chaand, main teri chandani' ,'dil-e-nadan, tujhe hua kya hai' and 'woh paas rahe ya door rahe' . Her sultry looks and al­luring eyes matched her melodious voice and distinc­tive style to make her one of the greatest feminine icons of her time, attracting a gen­eration of young women who sought to emulate her and young men who mooned for her.

Early life

Suraiya was born in Gujranwala, Punjab now in Pakistan and was the only child of her parents. She was a dark plain looking girl and was not trained in music, however she went on to become a successful actress and singer.

She had been educated in New Girls' High School in Bombay. Simultaneously she was given religious teachings in Persian at home.

Career

Like many leading ladies of the past, Suraiya's entry into the world of movies was more accidental, than otherwise

Suraiya made her debut as a child artist in Usne Kya Socha (1937). Her films as a child artist ran between 1937 and 1941. She got a break in films with the help of her uncle Zahoor, who was a popular villain of his time. In 1941 during a holiday from school, she accompanied her uncle to Mohan Studios to see the shooting of the film Taj Mahal (1941), a film by Nanubhai Vakil. Vakil noticed the 12-year old girl and chose her to play the role of a young Mumtaz Mahal as they had nobody else to play the role. During her school days she used to participate in "Children Program" on Radio along with Shammi and Rajkapoor. She could sing some popular songs of that time with melody and fidelity . Naushad had heard her voice on the All India Radio where she sang for a children's programme at the insistence of friend Raj Kapoor and neighbour Madan Mohan. From radio, Suraiya moved on to playback singing -- App.reciating her singing talent, a song "Boot karun mein polish" was recorded in her voice by Naushad Sahib in 1942 for the film "Nai-Dunia". In the same year she performed a role in film "Station Master" Other films of her playback singing with music by Naushad Sahib were "Sharda" (Punchi Ja- pechey raha hae bachpan mera), "Qanoon" and "Sanjog"Her singing career soon found a mentor in music maestro Naushad chose her to sing as a 13 year old for Mehtaab in Kardar's Sharda (1942). Suraiya had to stand on a stool to reach the mike to croon Panchi ja, picturised on the much-older heroine, Mehtaab.
She was effectively launched as a singing star in Bombay Talkies Humaari Baat (1943).

She initially started by playing secondary roles in films like K. Asif's Phool (1944) but She made her presence felt in perhaps India's first multi-starrer, played strong supporting second lead roles to Noorjehan in Mehboob Khan's Anmol Ghadi (1946) and Munawar Sultana in Dard (1947). Suraiya had her moments with Socha Tha Kya, Main Dil Mein Dard Basa La Aayee and Man Leta Hai. She got the break as a heroine for the movie Tadbir (1945) at the recommendation of K. L. Saigal who liked her voice during a rehearsal. She went on to co-star with Saigal for two more films Omar Khayyam (1946) and Parwana (1947). More opportunities appeared for Suraiya after reigning actresses Noor Jehan and Khursheed Bano migrated to Pakistan during the 1947 partition. the last remembered for her haunting rendition of Jab Tumhi Nahin Apne.Her pairing with the then superstar Dev Anand was a huge hit and the two went on to star in many successful movies together - Afsar, Shayar and Jeet etal.

Nadira, who later costarred with Suraiya in Waris, says, "My father went repeatedly to the theatre to watch Suraiya sing Socha tha kya. He would walk out the moment the song ended."

Suraiya had an edge over her contemporaries Kamini Kaushal and Nargis because she could sing her own songs. The years 1948-49 were the best of her career - The 1948-49 phase saw her rise to her peak. After three hits Pyar Ki Jeet (1948), Badi Bahen and Dillagi (1949), she became the highest paid female star. At her peak, Suraiya generated hysteria comparable only to Rajesh Khanna in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Shop owners would down their shutters to see her starrers on the first day itself, crowds would throng outside her residence at Marine Drive in Bombay just to get a glimpse of her and actor Dharmendra recalls going to see Dillagi 40 times! Her songs from the above films Tere Nainon Ne Chori Kiya, O Door Jaanewaale (Pyar ki Jeet), Woh Paas Rahe Ya Door Rahe, O Likhnewaale Ne, Bigdi Bananewaale (Badi Bahen) and Tu Mera Chand, Murliwaale Murli Bajaa (Dillagi) were hummed in every nook and corner of the country. Her reign at the top was brief and her films started flopping in the 1950s. She made a comeback with Waaris and Mirza Ghalib (1954) in which she played the role of the married Ghalib's lover.She made a short-lived comeback with Waaris (1954) and Mirza Ghalib (1954). The latter saw her finest dramatic performance as she made alive and vivid the role of the married Ghalib's lover, a courtesan. Ghalib also saw some of her finest singing - Aah ko Chaihiye Ek Umar, Nuktacheen Hai Gham-e-Dil, Dil-e-Nadaan Tujhe Hua Kya Hai, Yeh Na Thi Humari Kismet etc. Her singing is till date regarded as the definitive Ghalib. In fact India's then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru paid her the ultimate compliment by telling her " Tumne Mirza Ghalib ki Rooh ko Zinda Kar Diya" (she had brought Mirza Ghalib to life). In Nitin Bose's Waris (1954), Suraiya costarred with singing star Talat Mehmood (incidentally, she played heroine opposite another singer who tried to be an actor, Mukesh, in 1953's Mashuqa, too). With the sonorous melody, Rahi matwale, Anil Biswas and Suraiya proved their continuing relevance in a new age. Her last film was Rustom Sohrab (1963) following which she kept away from films. A spate of indifferent films followed. Suraiya had grew bulkier but her songs were still exquisite --- Aap se pyar hua jaata hai in Shama (1961), or the serene duet with Talat, Man dheere dheere gaye re in Maalik (1958). In 1963, to the strains of Yeh kaisi ajab dastaan ho gayee hai, the Sajjad jewel from Rustom Sohrab, Suraiya bade farewell to the studios. Suraiya Jamaal Sheikh's legend has endured for over four decades after her retirement post Rustom Sohrab (1963). It is fuelled by her one-time Dev Anand association, her repertoire of lilting songs and an air of mystique.

She stayed at "Krishna Mahal", her Marine Drive residence in Mumbai til her death. The walls and mirrors of Krishna Mahal flat on Marine Drive, are the only objects that set their eyes on this star of yesteryears. But she broke her self-imposed exile when she made a rare appearance at the Screen Videocon awards when Sunil Dutt presented her the Lifetime Achievement award. Radiant in a white salwar kameez she carried herself with the grace of a much younger woman.

The gentle sway of her hips spoke of her delicate style of dancing. The only thing that had remained completely unchanged was her voice. Tremulous with emotion, Suraiya's voice was choked with emotion when she took her award. She spoke of her long association with the film world and she was deeply touched that audiences still remembered her. But when Javed Jaffery pressed her to sing or just hum -- she refused. As a star shestill remembers the meaning of letting a legend live. Heroines are captured forever on the silver screen and the public's memory must never be updated.

Personal life

But her luck did not hold out in her personal life and Suraiya faced her biggestdisappointment. She first met Dev Anand in 1948, when she was just 19 years old. They were co-starring in the film Vidya and on the second day itself cupid struck. During the shooting of a song, a boat capsized and Dev Anand saved Suraiya from drowning. . And when he saved her from drowning during the filming of the song `Kinare Kinare Chale Jayenge', Suraiya was convinced that she had met her cosmic mate. She fell in love with him. Suraiya was romantically involved with actor Dev Anand and the two of them did six films together between 1948 and 1951. but her grandmother opposed the relationship. They were romantically linked and were all set to marry when her strict grandmother put her foot down and broke their relationship. She banned meeting, telephone calls and even talking on the sets. The entire affair was conducted in a clandestine manner with friends like Durga Khote and Kamini Kaushal going out of their way to engineer secret rendezvous. On the sets of the film Jeet, Dev Anand finally proposed to Suraiya and gave her a diamond ring worth Rs 3,000 -- a princely sum for a fledgling star. But even that memento was snatched away from her when her grandmother saw the ring and threw it away into the sea. She also burnt all of Dev Anand's letters in front of Suraiya's eyes. Her objection to the romance: (Dev Anand is a Hindu while Suraiya is a Muslim). A hunt for a Muslim husband began but marriagewas not in Suraiya's fate. In 1951, Dev Anand married Kalpana Kartik -- ending one of the silver screen's greatest romances. The heartbroken Suraiya never married though many leading men of her time were interested in her.Surraiya's idol was Gregory Peck and he visited her by surprise during a night of 1954 while in transit at Mumbai on his way to Srilanka for shooting. He was much impressed by her simplicity.Dev Anand molded himself in postures of Gregory Peck but after long awaiting he married Kaplna Kartak.Suraiya remained unmarried all her life.

Dev Anand accepts his love for Suraiya

the unmarried Suraiya lives alone in her plush Marine Drive apartment. Rarely does one see a bejewelled Suraiya at a party. Even after her strict grandmother, who kept suitors at bay and producers at arm's length, passed away, Suraiya continued to be inaccessible to the hoi polloi.

Her decision to reside in an ivory tower has added to her mystique, while her resolve to shun character roles ensured that she is always remembered as a heroine. Most quaintly, Suraiya also chose not to sing any new film song in the last 40 years.

Death

She died in 2004 of old age at 75. In 2004, during the Sansui Awards, actress Jaya Bhaduri received the Lifetime Achievement Award and while she was on stage, she was disappointed that no one gave a tribute to the legendary actress Suraiya who had passed right around that time.

Suraiya's dastaan, ajeeb but fascinating, continues to thrive on lore, speculation and memories.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajendra_Krishan


Rajendar Krishan

He was considered as the richest writer in Hindi cinema.

The reason was that he had won the jackpot worth Rs.46,00,000 in horse racing.

The sum was considered as a huge amount during the late seventies.

Rajendra Krishan Duggal (June 6, 1919 Lahore then moved to Shimla and finally Mumbai -1988), also credited as Rajinder Krishan/Kishan Duggal, was an Indian poet, lyricist and screenwriter.

Rajendra Krishan was born in Jalapur Jattan,district Gujarat (in present day Pakistan).

He moved to Shimla only in search of employment and because his eldest brother Madholal Duggal was already employed there.

He was attracted toward poetry during his school days. After completing his education, he worked as a clerk in the municipal office till 1942.

He used to participate in the poetry contests organized by newspapers.

In the mid-1940s, Krishan shifted to Mumbai to become a screenwriter.

His first screenplay was Janta (1947). His first film as a lyricist was Zanjeer (1947).

He was first noted for the script and lyrics of the Motilal-Suraiya starrer Aaj Ki Rat (1948)

After the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, Krishan wrote a song Suno Suno Aye Duniyawalon, Bapu Ki Yeh Amar Kahani. The song was sung by Mohammed Rafi and composed by Husnlal Bhagatram, and was a great hit. He also tasted success as a lyricist with the films Badi Bahen (1949) and Lahore (1949).

RAJENDRA KRISHAN

The invisible giant

when he was writing about what was happening around him likeMahatma’s assassination or the horrors of Partition, he lay bare his feelings in no uncertain terms.

The Rafi song, Suno suno ai duniawalo Bapu ki ye amar kahani ends with the terse line, Apne hi hathonse hamne apna Bapu khoya (We killed Bapu with our own hands).

A thin young man dressed in a white suit and a black bow-tie is sitting before a harmonium.

He is about to begin a song with a small audience sitting around him.

As the notes roll out, he poses a bemused look on his face and begins thanking love “for the exquisite misery it has given him, for those tears which are no less precious than pearls, for so much sorrow that nothing more seems to be left — shukria ai pyar, tera shukria!.

And we instantly recognise the velvety voice and the well-known face — it is Talat!

And with some effort we recall the composer, the great Anil Biswas, and the film Aaram (49) as well.

But how many of us can remember the name of the poet who wrote this lovely song? Even today, when people talk about lyricists, the first name which comes up is likely to be Sahir, then perhaps Majrooh and so on.

But who remembers that unassuming man who wrote classic lyrics like Gore gore (Samadhi 50) Ai bad-e-saba aahista chal (Anarkali 53) and Chal ud ja re panchi (Bhabhi 57)? This is in fact the irony regarding Rajendra Krishan, whom one could call the ‘Invisible Giant’.

His creations spanned three decades and hundreds of classics bore his signature, but very few are able to recall his authorship today.

Rajendra Krishan was born in Shimla, on June 6, 1919. Even when he was studying in the eighth class he was attracted towards poetry.

However, fate led him to a clerk’s job in the municipal office, where he toiled upto 1942. During that period, he read eastern and western authors extensively and wrote poetry. He expresses his indebtedness to the Urdu poetry of Firaq Gorakhpuri and Ahsan Danish, as well as to the Hindi poems of Pant and Nirala.

In those days the newspapers in the Delhi-Punjab brought out special supplements and held poetry contests to mark Krishna Janmashtami, in which he participated regularly. Which may explain the large number of Krishna-Radha classics he wrote for films later on, Brindavan ka (Miss Mary 57), Kaise avun Jamuna ke teer (Devta 56), Mat maro Shyam (Durgesh Nandini 56), Radha na bole (Azad 55) to name a few.

In the mid-40s he moved to Mumbai to try his luck in films as a script-writer, as well as lyricist.

His first lyrics were for Zanjeer, his first script for Janta, both in ’47.

However, he had no luck with these.

Then his script and lyrics for the Motilal-Suraiya starrer Aaj Ki Rat in ’48 brought him recognition.

Then the miracle happened: a private song he wrote and Rafi sang, brought both into the classic class — it was Bapu ki ye amar kahani whose 78 rpm record in those days could be seen in every house which boasted of a hand-cranking gramophone.

Then in ’49 he tasted immortality, his lyrics for Shyam Sunder’s Lahore (Baharen phir bhi ayengi) and Hunslal-Bhagatram’s Badi Behan (Chup chup khadi ho) which celebrated silver jubilee, became immensely popular.

The pleased producer of the latter presented Rajendra Krishan with Rs 1000 per month and an Austin car as well!

A new phase began in his life.

His knowledge of Tamil made him the ideal choice for AVM, and others to use his services for their films like Bahar, Ladki, Bhai Bhai. He wrote in all 18 scripts for AVM itself. The music directors for whom he regularly wrote songs — C Ramchandra, Madan Mohan and Hemant Kumar were also composing for the South Indian Hindi movies.

The combination chalked up a series of hits right into the Sixties.

Rajendra Krishan also participated in the struggle to get a status for lyricists.

As a person he was amiable, easy-going and full of humour. These characteristics expressed themselves in his lyrics also.

His songs are simple, inventive and full of meaning. He could write a swinging song like Mr John, o Baba Khan and in the same film Barish (’57) a philosophical song, Dane dane pe likha hai khanewale ka nam, lenewale karod, denewale ek Ram. The songs he wrote for Anarkali (’53), Yeh zindagi usiki hai and Jaag dard-e-ishq jaag have attained legendary status.

His Nagin (’54) songs Man dole mera tan dole and Mera dil ye pukare aja are reverberating in our hearts even today.

Apart from the three music directors mentioned above, he also wrote for other great composers like Sajjid Hussain (Saiyan ’51, Sangdil ’52), SD Burman (Bahar ’51, Sazaa ’51, Ek Nazar ’51), S Mohinder (Papi ’53), Chitragupt (Bhabhi ’57, Kangan ’59), Salil Choudhry (Chaya ’61), Laxmikant-Pyarelal (Intaqam ’69).

He could pen love-ballads and comedy songs with equal ease and effect.

In the first category come the standards like Ye hawa ye raat ye Chandni (Sandgil), Koun aya mere man ke dware payal ki jhankar liye (Dekh Kabira Roya ’57), Mera Qarar leja mujhe beqarar kar ja (Ashiana ’52) and Ai dil mujhe bata de (Bhai Bhai ’56).

As the whole world knows C Ramchandra and Madan Mohan put a special ingredient into the songs they gave to Lata.

Who can remain unmoved when listening to the following songs Rajendra Krishan wrote for her: Ham pyar me jalnewalon ko chain kahan aram kahan (Jailor ’58), Sapne me sajan se do bate ik yad rahi ik bhool gayen (Gateway Of India ’57), Dil se bhulado tum hamen (Patanga ’49)), Balma bada nadan re (Albela ’50), Ai chand pyar mera (Khazana ’51) and Wo bhuli dastan lo phir yad agayi (Sanjog ’61)?

On the other hand, the comedy songs he wrote for the same composers are a totally different kettle of fish.

Here Rajendra Krishan’s comic music soared to delightful heights.

He would take a central idea and keep on adding layer after layer of fancies to create a bright new world.

In Patanga, Lata and Shamshad take turns to describe a world of love where all the known institutions operate under strange rules — Pyar ke jahan ki nirali sarkar hai the post-office is actually the human eye and telegrams are glances; there is a school but it has only one class in it, lakhs of students enrol there but very few pass; the lessons are tough but oh so enjoyable! In fact if you fall in love you’ll join the unemployed masses.

Every day will be holiday for you — har din itwar hai!

In the film Chandan (’58) we see Johnny Walker as a traffic constable singing the praises of the Super Cop in the Skies, who has a key for every lock and a lock for every key. Bada hi CID hai vo neeli chhatriwala, no one sees him receiving reports, but the moment a crime occurs he gets an “automatic telephone� and he has with him a pocket book in which has been noted sabka maal masaala, his thana stretches in all directions and it is always open.

Everyone has to go there sometime or other.

You can’t influence him, for all are equal so far as he is concerned — kya saali kya saala! (This is obviously a reference to Raj Kapoor’s story in Shree 420 (’55) of his being hauled up before the boodha daroga of a police station, and of being released the moment he was discovered to be the thanedar ka saala.

Again the same Johnny Walker in the ’65 film Bombay Racecourse (Madan Mohan) narrates the tale of a zalim snatching away his throbbing heart mistaking it for a ticking watch — Le gaya zalim ghadi samajkar and trying to pawn it. However when she learnt its market price, it being after all the heart of an ardent lover, she was struck by remorse and brought it back to him undamaged.

The imagery of Parwana (moth) and Shama (flame) for lover and beloved is a standard one in Urdu poetry.

There was even a film called Shama Parwana (’54) where the moth (Shammi Kapoor) literally got burnt in the flame in the end. Rajendra Krishan wrote a straight lyric for Raj Kapoor in Paapi (S Mohinder, ’53) Tera kam hai jalna parwane chahe shama jale ya na jale whose climatic line states — jeene me hai teri ruswayi, marte nahijalkar parwane — the parwana gets a bad name only when it lives!�

Years later, in Khazanchi (Madan Mohan, ’58) he wrote about the modern parwana who is afraid of going near the fire naye zamane ka parwana jalne se dare! So this ingenious moth tries to solve the problem by sending his petition by post to the flame. She replies, “You’re there and I’m here, so what’s this talk of love between us?� The moth replies, “Everyone knows your penchant for burning.

And this happens to be my new suit, and I bought this tie only this morning. Do you want me to risk all these? so, goodbye! Kon mufi me mare?

When the new decimal coinage was introduced, the first and most famous song about it, which was also a hit in the Binaca Parade that year, was written by him for Miss India (SD Burman, ’57) Badla zamana — where he lovingly describes how you can obtain for a mere rupee no less than 100 tiny round pretty coins, gol mol nanhe munne akhionke tare with which you can fill up your treasury.

In an interview, Hemant Kumar had this to say about Rajendra Krishan’s style of working, “Let’s suppose the recording of a song is fixed 15 days hence; he will come to the studio alright, but won’t work. He’ll say, ‘Come I know a place where this item is great! Let’s go eat.’ So we go there. Next day it’s something else. Then he’ll be away at the races. Thus we come to the 12th day. Now we put pressure on him. Then he’ll sit somewhere quietly and come back after 15-20 minutes with the complete song!� When one considers that both Ramchandra and Madan Mohan, for whom he did most of his work, believed in having the full lyric in their hands before composing, it is obvious that most of the great songs of that era owed their original inspiration to Rajendra Krishan’s lyric alone.

Rajendra Krishan could be satiric as well as playful. In Minister (Madan Mohan, ’59), he gave Asha a song where she taunts a gallivanting husband with apt imagery — Jab ghar men chulha jalta hai, phir hotel me kyun khate ho?

But when he was writing about what was happening around him like Mahatma’s assassination or the horrors of Partition, he lay bare his feelings in no uncertain terms. The Rafi song, Suno suno ai duniawalo Bapu ki ye amar kahani ends with the terse line, Apne hi hathonse hamne apna Bapu khoya (We killed Bapu with our own hands).

Again in the film about Partition, Lahore (Shyam Sunder, ’49) he gave a song to Manna Dey which begins,

Dunia to kehti hai insaan kahan hai?
Insaan ye kehta hai Bhagwan kahan hai?
Insaan ne insaan par kya zulm kiya hai
Ana hi lahu tha jise haske piya hai

He wrote a whole series of lovely songs for Hemant Kumar.

The biggest hit was Nagin (’54), then there was Miss Mary (’57), Champakali (’57), Lagan (’55), Payal (’57), Durgesh Nandini (’56) and so on.

We have heard Hemant Kumar mention Rajendra Krishan’s fondness for the races; strangely enough he actually won a jackpot for an estimated 46 lakhs! This obviously took the edge off his struggle for existence! He won the Filmfare award for 1965 for the film Khandan (Ravi).

At the time of his death in 1988, he had written songs for 300 films, of which 100 carried his screenplay as well.

HMV gave him the honour of being a major lyricist and brought out an LP containing 12 of his songs.

He deserved all the honours he received, but none of them can do justice to the legacy of sheer listening pleasure he has bequeathed us.
