Today is the 97th birth anniversary of the famous Hindi cinema singer Mohammad Rafi. His sung songs are still on everyone’s tongue. Talking about the personal life of Mohammed Rafi, known for his immortal values, he was highly disciplined. He used to stay away from film parties. Mohammad Rafi, who was away from smoking and drinking, was known to come straight from his house to the recording room and then from the recording room. Mohammed Rafi had two marriages. However, very few people know why their first marriage came to an end.
Born in Kotla Sultan Singh village of Amritsar district of Punjab, Mohammed Rafi was first married to Bashira in his native village. Both of them were having a good life and they had a son named Saeed. According to Vijay Pulakkal’s book ‘Remembering Mohmmad Rafi’, Bashira took the decision to leave India after losing her parents in the riots during partition of India in 1947. She did not want to live in India. She settled in Lahore, while Mohammed Rafi, who is pursuing a career in singing, decided to stay in India, after which she married her second marriage to Bilkis.

The story of the trend towards the music of Mohammed Rafi is also very interesting. Nobody in his family had any connection with music, but Mohammad Rafi used to hum the songs of the fakirs who came to the village. However, Mohammad Rafi’s singing talent was recognized by a friend of his father and inspired him to move to Mumbai. He then studied music from singers like Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, Ustad Abdul Wahid Khan, Pandit Jeevan Lal Mattoo and Feroz Nizami. His first performance was in Lahore at the age of just 13, when he sang in imitation of the then famous singer KL Sehgal.
