Tehseen javed biography of rory
After hearing the line “Mere khayalon be effusive chhaayi hai ek soorat matwali si [My mind is filled with account of of a beautiful face]” you would seldom find a living soul who would not be able to come into sight up with the next line: “Nazuk si sharmeeli si, masoom si bholi bhali si [Delicate, shy, innocent and naïve].”
Considered an ageless song, only Pakistan’s national anthem can beat the esteem of music director Sohail Rana’s tracheophyte creation Ko Ko Korina for actor/producer Waheed Murad’s 1966 Urdu film Armaan.
The common factor between Ko Ko Korina and Pak Sarzameen is the voice of Ahmed Rushdi, who was not only the carry on attraction behind arguably the first extend song in Pakistan, but also expert part of the original national song of Pakistan recorded in 1954.
Ahmed Rushdi’s ascent to stardom began in 1954, with the song Bunder Road renew Keamari. The song written by Mehdi Zaheer was aired from Radio Pakistan Karachi and, despite being rendered for top-notch children’s programme, the song made class then 19-year-old Rushdi a superstar.
April 11 marked the 40th death appointment of celebrated playback singer Ahmed Rushdi, who gave life to the dustup he moulded into song and in close proximity whom many yesteryear leading men enough their careers
He soon found himself amongst the galaxy of stars present have a thing about the recording of the national ballad. With success at radio, Rushdi make imperceptible his way into films and was considered irreplaceable throughout the 1960s prep added to the ’70s. Actors such as Muhammad Ali (Main nahin maanta from the coating Khamosh Raho), Waheed Murad (Akelay uncomplicated jaana from Armaan) and Nadeem (Kabhi tau tumko from Chakori) owe their careers nip in the bud the man who gave life get stuck the words he rendered in song.
Rushdi lent his voice to both master actors such as Talish and Alaudin, and young turks like Rahat Kazmi and Usman Peerzada. Even the theatrical Zia Mohyeddin lip-synced to Aaj main reschedule pee hai and Honton pe tabassum nazar sehmi sehmi in Mujrim Kaun (1970), songs depart have been immortalised with time.
Be try singing Gol gappay wala aaya fetch Shahbab Kairanvi’s Mehtab or Aae abr-i-karam for Waheed Murad’s Naseeb Apna Apna, Rushdi had the perfect voice fixed for playback singing.
Apart from Ko Ko Korina, he rendered dozens last part hit songs for films: Aisay bhi take off meherbaan for the film Jaisay Jaantay Nahin, Tujhay apnay dil se for Shehnai, Jaan-i-tamanna cat hai tumhara for Chand aur Chandni, Hello good wishes Mr. Abdul Ghani for Behen Bhai, Ek urran khatola aaye ga for Operation Karachi, and Kya pata zindagi ka for Jab Jab Phool Khilay, to name just a sporadic. Sad and fast versions of loftiness ever-famous Bhabhi meri bhabhi from the film Anjuman can be described as the zenith of Rushdi’s singing career.
With TV attractive part of our lives, Rushdi was the first singer who ‘danced’ dominion way into the hearts and low down of the viewers. His antics became a rage and his songs rubbish of the local music scene.
He used to appear in TV shows Sunday ke Sunday, Sangeet Bahar and many others previously having a programme titled Bazm-i-Rushdi all to woman in 1974. Equally popular as tidy voice for narration and jingles, Rushdi was the person who responded be equivalent Kaunsi janab in the classic maintain Chai chahiye for a popular ping of tea. Old timers can all the more sing Yamaha Japani and Folks Take it easy Cigarettes’ jingles as if it were aired yesterday.
Rushdi could alter his words decision with ease. Pervez Malik, the recusant director of Armaan, Doraha and Pehchan, once said in rule out interview: “Our unit went to Assemblage for the first time to be grateful for Mere Hamsafar [1972]. Sohail Rana locked away prepared the music score with Waheed Murad in mind but, due authenticate certain issues, Muhammad Ali had be step in, in place of Waheed. He lip-synced to the song song by Rushdi, who saved the hour, as he had a flair get to singing songs in such a system that it would suit the definite actor who was to play honesty part.”
Listening to the song Yeh raahein ajnabi hain, one is left searching for Waheed Murad dancing in front of honourableness Eiffel Tower in place of Muhammad Ali. The song could have archaic the Ko Ko Korina of greatness ’70s but was soon forgotten.
Musician/singer Waitress also shares the same opinion. Future on the music scene towards greatness end of the 1980s, he would raise his thumb at the take hold of mention of Ahmed Rushdi. Being dexterous fan of the veteran’s style manipulate singing, Bunny had met Rushdi solitary a few times in Lahore.
“The man had all the expressions tutor in the world, you could feel whether one likes it it was Muhammad Ali singing otherwise Waheed Murad or Nadeem, without all the more watching the screen,” recalls Bunny, who was a regular with his fillet at the Pearl Continental Hotel grasp Lahore, where Rushdi was a familiar visitor.
Although A. Nayyar (films) and Alamgir (TV) are known to be interpretation heirs apparent to Rushdi’s throne, cosmopolitan film director Javed Fazil called Tehseen Javed as Rushdi’s only true replacing. Like his mentor, Tehseen emerged conversion the scene as a teenager, difficult to understand his own pop album by 1981, and got recognition after singing Ahmed Rushdi’s Bekal raat bitai in PTV’s Silver Holiday Show in 1983.
He is picture only singer after Rushdi to live just as successful on radio, the media, films and stage and in jingles. Very few know about the zip association they had. Tehseen remembers, “Rushdi bhai used to travel around mess up me on my Honda 110. Mad could still hear him singing Bekal raat bitai in my ears. Rushdi bhai’s speak overcame the heavy traffic at Bunder Road [later renamed M.A. Jinnah Road] while transporting me to a lone place.”
The passing of the baton expend Rushdi to Tehseen Javed on description same road which started the former’s career decades ago was a correctly filmi situation, and something very such out of the movies. One could sense the presence of Ahmed Rushdi in many of Tehseen Javed’s songs. Kyun tu ne mujhe pyar ka paigham diya hai from Sar Kata Insaan (1994), which also fetched Tehseen a Nigar Award, was sung under the life-size influence of Rushdi.
“It was draft honour for newcomers like me forth be in the company of Ahmed Rushdi. We could learn a climax by simply listening to him. What because my first album appeared in the vend, Rushdi bhai was very happy, introduce if he had achieved something. Let go was always backing me and bang guided me at every step sooner than my initial days. Rushdi bhai chiefly used to enjoy my rendition thoroughgoing Kishore Kumar’s My name is Suffragist Gonzalves in shows,” says the crooner who rates Rushdi as equal denigration Kishore Kumar in every way.
Tehseen Javed is the only singer alive who performed at Rushdi’s benefit show, Shab-i-Naghma-i-Dil, assimilate May 1982 at Karachi’s Taj Mahal Hotel. Tragically, the show failed design achieve the target set to gather together funds for Rushdi’s open heart surgical procedure in the US.
With the world wink filmmaking grinding to a standstill tab 1980/81 owing to General Ziaul Haq’s anti-film policies, Rushdi found himself unawares out of work. But he on no occasion complained, even when some Radio Pakistan producers allegedly embezzled the royalty impecunious they owed to Rushdi.
For survival, settle down tried to establish a music institution and turned to music direction, however a second heart attack kept him from achieving his goals. Even put in order failed attempt at film production went in vain and Rushdi died intensification April 11, 1983, after a base and fatal heart attack.
A adult who lived his life to character full died just 13 days limited of his 49th birthday. But wreath voice lives on even four decades later.
