GULZAR --- A Motor Mechanic Turned Musician & Legendary Poet
Lovely & Legendary Life Story of A Sardarji,
Named SAMPURAN SINGH KALRA
Who Was A Mere Motor Mechanic and Became
A Great Master Lyricist of Indian Music & Melody World.
Nowdays Internet is Infested with So many "Sadarji Jokes". We All Enjoy Them With Great Fun. Most of Them Are Pure Fun, Filled With Sweet Sarcasm And Synonomous To Practical Wisdom. Nobody Takes Them Seriously, Rather Consider Them As The Lighter Part Of Socio-Cultural Texture of INIDIA.
The Late BIMAL ROY Was Making A Film "VANDINI" and SHAILENDRA Was Writing The Lyrics For Its Songs. SACHIN DEV BURMAN Was The Music Director. There Was Some Altercation Between SHAILENDRA & SACHIN DEV BURMAN Who Then Refused to Work With Shailendra.
Bimal Roy Was in Great Trouble and Extremly Worried. Then Someone Told Bimal Roy About A Sardarji, Named SAMPURAN SINGH KALRA Who Was A Motor Car Mechanic, Who Very Recently Migrated From Pakistan and Was Looking For A Chance To Write Lyrics in Hindi Movies.
A Motor Mechanic As A Writer Of Lyrics ??? People Asked In Amazement But By Then Desperate Bimal Roy Said OK, Bring Him In As Soon As Possible. So Sampuran Singh Kalra Came, Given The Scene & Story Line of The Film. He Wrote His FIRST EVER FILM SONG !
BIMAL ROY'S Gamble Paid Off For What A Hit Song It Was !!!
And A Living Legend Was Born !!!
His Very First Song From "VANDINI",----"Mora Gora Rang Laile, Mohe Shaam Rang Daidey",
And The Song Was Sung By None Other Than LATA MANGESHKAR
SARDAR SAMPURAN SINGH KALRA Later Changed His Name, and Took A Sweet & Short Psyeudonym, Whom We All Know As #GULZAR - Our Loving Poet & Lyricist. #GULZAR.
