The song of Kishore Kumar, after writing the lyricist regretted, laughs at the crying person

New Delhi: Anand Bakshi wrote more than 4000 songs in his career of nearly 40 years. His songs written in common language are directly in the heart. Despite being successful and experienced, there was a time in Anand Bakshi’s life when he regretted one of his songs, which was composed for the film ‘Andha Law’. The lyricist’s son Rakesh Anand Bakshi mentions it in his biography ‘Nagme Kahse Baat Memans’.

In the film, ‘Amitabh Bachchan’ played a Muslim character. He was in the role of Jan Nisar Khan, who was a former forest officer and was imprisoned on a false charge of killing a hunter. In the book ‘Nagme Kahse Baat Yaadam’ told that the director told Bakshi Saheb the story of the film in the name of Amitabh Bachchan, but did not tell which religion the character of Big B belongs to. Anand Bakshi wrote a song for the film, which became famous at that time. The few lines of this song ‘Learn to laugh and cry, laugh and cry, as much as the keeper Ram, as much as the toy’, even today people hum. In this, the word ‘Ram’ has come in the form of Shri Ram, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu.

When I regret writing a song

When Anand Bakshi came to know that Amitabh Bachchan was playing a Muslim character in the film, he regretted a lot. He told this to his son. Referring to the story in the book, the son said that he said, ‘I had made a mistake that before writing the song, I did not ask the director’s name and his religion. The director was telling the story in the name of Amitabh Bachchan. If I had known that Amitabh is playing a Muslim character in the film, then I would write a song according to the character of that character and his religion.
