great-grandniece of the Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore.

In 1936, X eloped with her lover actor Najam-ul-Hussain. And the studio head Himanshu Raicalled upon his laboratory assistant Ashok Kumar to take the leading man's part and thusbegan a six-decade-long acting career for that action. Ashok Kumar later starred with theactress in Achhut Kanya (1936). This, her most notable film, is the story of a relationshipbetween an untouchable girl (played by herself) and a Brahmin boy (played by Ashok Kumar).

She is also known by her sobriquet first lady of Indian cinema.

In 1958, the President of India honored X with a Padma Shri. In lateryears, she settled inBangalore with her second husband Svetoslav Roerich and built the Tataguni estate onKanakpura Road.

X was part of the formidable quartet that ruled Hindi Cinema in the 1950s and

early 60s, the others being Sahir Ludhiyanvi, Shakeel Badayuni and Shailendra

but X outlasted them all working right up to his death, his career spanning over

five decades and over 350 films.

It was X's versatility that industry folk swear by. If he could write 'Jalte Hain

Jiske Liye..' (Sujata) and ' Hum Bekhudi Me Tumko Pukare Chale Gaye..' (Kala

Pani), he also penned 'Paanch Rupaiya Bara Aana..' (Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi) and

'C A T cat..' (Dilli Ka Thug).X enthralled listeners with his songs in Abhimaan,

Kudrat, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, Akele Hum Akele

Z says,X was introduced to me by lyricist P.L.Santoshi at the time ofChham Chhama Chaam my second movie. At that time, she was not only

influenced by Geeta, but she was also under heavy (inferiority) complex ofY. As if she was torn between their styles.What I did was to give herconfidence and to help her come out of that complex. This process startedfrom the time of Naya Daur.

To Xs credit, it must be said that she never shied away from practice. Infact, she would be the one who would ask me for more rehearsals even if I

felt she was singing the song well. I can proudly claim that more than S.D.Burman, more than R.D.Burman, more than anybody else, it is Z who hasreally moulded her voice. Unfortunately today she refuses to acknowledgethat fact!

Reportedly the song S (a duet by Y and X) was partlyimprovised by Y at the time ofrecording and X, determined toshow Y how he would sing the duet better (since Y had notbeen trained classically), got into the mood of the song and

immortalized S. Legend also has it that X was upset by the factthat in the picturisation of the song, the singing competitionbetween the two heroes was won by the one, for whom thebackground singing was done by Y.X didn't like the fact that aclassically trained singer like himself would have to lose,

though only on-screen, to an un-trained singer (Y).

Karnataka had adopted the Three language formula for education inschools since the linguistic reorganization of states in 1956.It was felt thatKannada faced threat from Sanskrit, which was the dominant language inschools, leading to a situation where students could complete their highschool education without having to study Kannada. This created a wideincompatibility between languages used for state administration andeducation.

This led to a linguistic movement against retaining Sanskrit as the firstlanguage in School education. The movement was initiated and supportedby political parties, groups of Kannada teachers, students, college anduniversity professors, literary critics, playwrights, and creative writers. This

made the government rethink about the language policy for schooleducation and constituted a committee on July 5, 1980 with X as theChairman.

Let us praise the sun, let us praise the sun.

Because it is like the royal discus

Of the King of the Kaveri lands,

Ever circling the golden summit of the sacred

Meru mountain

Let us praise the rain, let us praise the rain.

Because it is like our King's generosity,

Standing on high and showering down

Upon this sea enclosed land.

Let us praise Puhar, our beautiful Puhar.

For its fame is entwined always

With the glorious lineage of its Kings

And spreads to the sea-fences of this earth.

a lodge in Rawalpindi, which he later acquired.

His first job was that of a clerk to look after the coal supply in a Hotel
