You’ve heard the songs even if you don’t know her name. A prime Bollywood playback singer in the 1940s, Shamshad Begum is the voice behind hits like Kajra Mohabbat Wala, Mere Piya Gaye Rangoon, Leke Pehla Pehla Pyaar, Kabhi Aar Kabhi Paar - songs that continue to be lazy Sunday favorites, while many from younger generations would have heard some of them as remixes, too.
With her sensuous, lilting voice, Shamshad Begum, one of the first women to sing playback for Hindi movies and senior to both Lata Mangeshkar and Noor Jahan, was much sought after by ace music composers like O.P. Nayyar, S.D. Burman and Naushad. With tens of hundreds of songs under her belt, she was not only versatile but also multilingual, with recordings in Gujarati, Punjabi, Marathi, Tamil, and Bengali. She often sang duets with Mangeshkar and her sister, Asha Bhosle.
Born on 14 April 1919, she battled a conservative family in order to pursue her singing career and to marry outside of her religion at the age of 15. Though she displayed talent as a child, she didn’t receive any formal training. But under the mentorship of music composer Ghulam Haider and sarangi maestro Ustad Hussain Baksh, her career began in the late 1930s when she started singing for All India Radio in Peshawar and Lahore.
