Dadasaheb Phalke Award FILMOGRAPHY
As a composer : (Hindi) Reviews When Saigal came to Pankaj Mullick's music room to sing the classical number Karoon Kya Aas Niraas Bhaye, he was totally drunk. Saigal tried singing but just couldn't get it right even after 15 takes. Pankaj Mullic was so furious that he slapped Saigal, who started crying like a child repeating, "You hit me, you hit me". To which Pankaj Mullick replied "Of course, I did. You call yourself a singer and can't sing even one line straight." Saigal felt so humiliated that he sang the song with such a vengeance that it was immediately okayed. |
