Search engine Google remembered legendary playback singer Mukesh on his 93rd birth anniversary by creating a special doodle in his honour. The doodle featured a smiling portrait of Mukesh and a small sketch of Raj Kapoor-Nargis Dutt in the background.
Known as Kapoor’s voice, Mukesh went on to give super-hit songs for the late actor such as Pyar Hua Ikrar Hua, Mere Toote Huye Dil Se, Dost Dost Na Raha Pyar Pyar Na Raha, Kisi Ki Muskurahaton Pe Ho Nisar, Awara Hoon and Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din. Born in Delhi, Mukesh initially 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. His first song was Dil Hi Bujha Hua Ho To as an actor-singer for Nirdosh in 1941.
Mukesh died of a heart attack on August 27, 1976 in Detroit, Michigan, US, where he had gone to perform in a concert.
