== Biography ==

=== Early life ===
Anand Bakshi (Bakshi Anand Prakash Vaid) was born in [[Rawalpindi]], now in Pakistan, on 21 July 1930.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfaDScuTDTA|title=Anand Bakshi on TOTAL RECALL Part 1 (@Times Now)|access-date=2012-01-29}}</ref> His ancestors were [[Mohyal]] [[Brahmins]] from [[Kurree]], near Rawalpindi, and had their origins in [[Kashmir]]. His mother, Sumitra, died when he was five years old. Bakshi's family migrated to India ([[Delhi]]) on 2 October 1947, in the aftermath of the [[Partition of India|partition]], when he was 17 years old.{{citation needed|date=November 2012}} The family arrived in Delhi, via a Dakota aircraft, and then migrated to [[Pune]], then [[Meerut]] and settled finally in Delhi.

Bakshi was fond of writing poetry since his youth, but he did this mostly as a private hobby. In a 1983 interview with [[Doordarshan]],<ref name="dd">{{cite web|last1=Tabassum|title=Interview with Anand Bakshi – Phool khile hain gulshan gulshan|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFFwOfs1IWw&index=64&list=PL2SVX7hu8cbYppOhJk0K2XBZAec8zK2XZ|website=You Tube|publisher=Doordarshan|access-date=5 July 2016}}</ref> Bakshi recounted that after his initial studies, he joined the [[Indian Navy]], where due to a paucity of time, he could only write occasionally.<ref name="dd" /> He continued to write poetry whenever time permitted, and used his songs and lyrics in local programmes related to his troop.<ref name="dd" /> He worked in the Navy for many years and simultaneously tried to market his songs in the Mumbai film world.<ref name="dd" />

=== Success ===
Anand Bakshi came to [[Hindi films]] to make a name for himself in writing and singing, but ended up becoming more successful in writing [[lyrics]]. He got his break writing songs in a Brij Mohan film titled ''Bhalaa Aadmi'' (1958), acted by [[Bhagwan Dada]]. He wrote four songs in this film. His first song in this film was "Dharti Ke Laal Na Kar Itna Malaal" which was recorded on 9 Nov 1956. (In his own voice on All India Radio interview)<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zz0vZndMPvA|title=Anand Bakshi Singing his 1st song from 1st film BHALA AADMI, Ameen Sayani radio show.|last=Rakesh Anand Bakshi|date=24 September 2011|via=YouTube}}</ref>

After writing for a few movies from 1956 onwards, he first found success in 1962 with ''Mehendi Lagi Mere Haath'', which was produced by (LimeLight), Music Kalyanji & Anandji, Music Pub-HMV/Saregama. Bakshi later made another mark for himself writing a quawwali for the 1962 film ''Kala Samundar'', the song was "Meri Tasveer Lekar Kya Karoge Tm". He got his real big breakthroughs in 1965 with ''[[Himalay Ki God Mein]]'', and a huge breakthrough again in 1965 with the super-hit film ''[[Jab Jab Phool Khile]]'', starring [[Shashi Kapoor]]; and yet again in 1967 with the super-hit movie ''[[Milan (1967 film)|Milan]]'' (starring [[Sunil Dutt]]).
