Mubarak Begum Biography

Mubarak Begum is an Indian singer from Rajasthan who is popular as a playback singer as well as ghazal singer. She has sung only lesser number of movies in Bollywood, yet memorable ones. The classic Hindi song - "Kabhi Tanhaiyon Mein Yun" of Hamaari Yaad Aayegi, composed by Snehal Bhatkar still remains her most popular song from Bollywood. Mujhko apne gale lagalo and Kuch ajnabi se aap hein are her chartbuster hits. Shama Gul Karke Na Ja, Be-murawwat be-wafa begana-e dil, Saawariya Teri Yaad Mein, Humein Dum Daike, Mohe Aane Lagi Angrayi, Neend Ud Jaaye Teri Chain se and Aye Dil Bata are a few more memorable songs of Begum.

 

She belongs to the group of those unfortunate female singers of Bollywood who got sidelined with the rise of two great singing stars - Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhonsle. It’s quite surprising that such a wonderful singer with a golden voice has not sung since 1968. Later she appeared in some stage shows after 40 years and performed in Chennai, Pune, Mumbai, Baroda and New Delhi. Currently she lives in suburb of Jogeshwari suffering from financial and ageing problems, deserted by her husband. She lives on a small pension, that’s very low by Indian standards.

 

She was born in 1940 in Sujangarh, Churu of Rajasthan. She started her career with All India Radio where she sang light music. "Mohe Aane Lagi Angrayi” was her break to Bollywood. Lata and Asha was only rising stars then. "Kabhi Tanhaiyon Mein Yun" proved to be the major break of her career.  After she gave a few memorable songs to Bollywood though got sidelined with the rise of Lata mangeshkar as a star.
