'''Mukesh Chand Mathur''' (22 July 1923 – 27 August 1976), better known [[Mononymous person|mononymously]] as '''Mukesh''', was an Indian playback singer. Mukesh is considered to be one of the most popular and acclaimed [[playback singer]]s of the [[Hindi film industry]].<ref>{{cite book |title= Global Bollywood: Travels of Hindi Song and Dance |last= Gopal |first= Sangita |author2=Sujata Moorti |year= 2008 |publisher= University of Minnesota Press|isbn= 978-0-8166-4579-4 |page= 94}}</ref><ref>''Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema'' by Ashish Rajadhyaksha and Paul Willemen.

Mukesh was also popular as being the voice of actors [[Raj Kapoor]], [[Manoj Kumar]], [[Feroz Khan (actor)|Feroz Khan]], [[Sunil Dutt]] and [[Dilip Kumar]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/mukesh-remembering-the-singer-with-the-midas-touch/story-kTGymf56kD6so2K4tL0dDO.html|title=Mukesh: Remembering the singer with the midas touch |author=Rohit Vats|website=[[Hindustan Times]]|date=27 August 2014|access-date=9 May 2018}}</ref>

==Early life==
Mukesh was born in [[Delhi]] in a [[Punjabi Hindu]] [[Mathur (subcaste)|Mathur]] [[Kayastha]] family.<ref>{{cite book|author=Abdul Jamil Khan |title=Urdu/Hindi: An Artificial Divide: African Heritage, Mesopotamian Roots, Indian Culture & Britiah Colonialism |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nH1HBxdA1UIC&pg=PA316 |year=2006 |publisher=Algora Publishing |isbn=978-0-87586-438-9 |pages=316–}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIsBeVv1qDE&t=884|title=Exclusive : Neil Nitin Mukesh & Nitin Mukesh In Conversation With Karan Thapar|date=23 October 2016}}</ref> His parents were Zorawar Chand Mathur, an engineer, and Chandrani Mathur. He was the sixth in a family of ten children. The music teacher who came home to teach Mukesh's sister, Sundar Pyari, found a pupil in Mukesh, who would listen from the adjoining room. Mukesh left school after the 10th grade and worked briefly for the Department of [[Public Works]]. He experimented with voice recordings during his employment in Delhi and gradually developed his singing abilities and also his musical instrumental skills.<ref name="MM">{{cite news |last1=Chobey |first1=Ankita |title=8 Life Facts about Bollywood's Golden Voice Mukesh on his Bi |url=https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/music/8-life-facts-about-bollywoods-golden-voice-mukesh-on-his-birth-anniversary/articleshow/53338576.cms |access-date=10 March 2019 |work=[[Mumbai Mirror]] |date=22 July 2016 }}</ref>

==Singing career==
Mukesh's voice was first noticed by [[Motilal Rajvansh|Motilal]], a distant relative, when he sang at his sister's wedding. Motilal took him to [[Mumbai]] and arranged for singing lessons by Pandit Jagannath Prasad. During this period Mukesh was offered a role as an actor-singer in a Hindi film, ''Nirdosh'' (1941). His first song was "Dil Hi Bujha Hua Ho To" as an actor-singer for ''Nirdosh''. He got his break as a playback singer for actor Motilal in 1945 with the film ''Pehli Nazar'' with music composed by [[Anil Biswas (composer)|Anil Biswas]] and lyrics written by Aah Sitapuri. The first song that he sang for a Hindi film was "Dil Jalta Hai To Jalne De".

Mukesh was such a fan of singer [[K. L. Saigal]] that in his early years of playback singing he used to imitate his idol.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/mukesh-remembering-the-singer-with-the-midas-touch/story-kTGymf56kD6so2K4tL0dDO.html|title=Mukesh: Remembering the singer with the midas touch|last=Vats|first=Rohit|date=27 August 2014|work=Hindustan Times|access-date=17 March 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iloveindia.com/indian-heroes/mukesh.html|title=Famous Indians – Mukesh|website=iloveindia.com|access-date=17 March 2016}}</ref> In fact, it is said that when K. L. Saigal first heard the song "Dil Jalta Hai...", he remarked, "That's strange, I don't recall singing that song".<ref name=":0" />

Mukesh created his own singing style with the help of music director [[Naushad Ali]], who helped Mukesh to come out of his Saigal style and create his own style. Naushad gave him songs for the film ''[[Andaz (1949 film)|Andaz]]''. Initially Mukesh was the ghost voice of [[Dilip Kumar]] in this movie and [[Mohammed Rafi]] sang for [[Raj Kapoor]]. He delivered many Hits for Naushad in films like: ''Anokhi Ada'' (1948), ''[[Mela (1948 film)|Mela]]'' (1948), ''[[Andaz (1949 film)|Andaz]]'' (1949). Other composers who used Mukesh voice for great Dilip Kumar in hit songs like "Jeevan Sapna toot gaya" were Anil Biswas in Anokha Pyar, Ye Mera Diwanapan hai, [[Shankar-Jaikishan]] in Yahudi and Suhana Safar and Dil Tadap Tadap ke, Salil Choudhary in Madhumati. However, later Dilip Kumar choose [[Mohammed Rafi|Rafi]] as his ghost voice and Mukesh became the ghost voice of Raj Kapoor. Mukesh recorded highest number of songs for Shankar-Jaikishan, that is 133 songs followed by Kalyanji Anandji ie 99 songs. Out of 4 [[Filmfare Awards]], Mukesh won 3 awards for Shankar-Jaikishan songs.

In 1974, Mukesh received [[National Film Award for Best Male Playback Singer]] for the song "Kai Baar Yuhi Dekha Hai" from ''[[Rajnigandha]]'' (1974), and [[Filmfare Award]]s for the songs "Sab Kuch Seekha Humne" in the movie ''Anari'' (1959), "Sabse Bada Naadan Wahi Hai" in ''Pehchaan'' (1970), "Jai Bolo Beimaan Ki" in ''Beimaan'' (1972) (all the three songs composed by Shankar-Jaikishan) and "[[Kabhi Kabhie Mere Dil Mein]]", the title song of film ''[[Kabhie Kabhie (1976 film)|Kabhie Kabhie]]'' (1976) (composed by [[Mohammed Zahur Khayyam|Khayyam]]). A total of around 1,300 songs were sung by him. This number is less than those sung by some of his contemporaries, but the fact is that Mukesh emphasised on quality rather than quantity. The comparatively fewer songs sung by him in the 1970s can be attributed to his failing health due to his worsening [[Cardiovascular disease|heart problem]].

Mukesh sang many songs for Kalyanji Anandji music director duo. Mukesh sang more songs with the K-A duo after Shankar-Jaikishan. From "Naina hai jadoo bhare..." ''Bedard Zamana Kya Jane'' (1958) composed by Kalyanji alone as Kalyanji Virji Shah, and "Main hoon mast madari..." ''[[Madari]]'' (1959) as the first Kalyanji-Anandji-Mukesh combo, to "Chahe aaj mujhe napasand karo" ''[[Darinda]]'' 1977, the K-A, Mukesh combination gave numerous popular songs like "Chhalia mera naam...", "Mere toote hue dil se...", "Dum dum diga diga" ''[[Chalia (film)|Chalia]]'' (1959), "Mujhko iss raat ki tanhai mein..." ''[[Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere]]'' (1960), "Hum chhod chale hain mehfil ko..." (Ji Chahta Hai), "Humne tumko pyar kiya hai jitna..." (Dulha Dulhan), "Chal mere dil lehraake chal..." ''[[Ishara]]'' and "Dheere se chalo..." ''[[Johar Mehmood in Goa]]'', "Main to ek khwab hoon..." and "Chand si mehbooba ho..." ''[[Himalay Ki Godmein]]''(1965), "Waqt kartaa jo wafaa..." ''[[Dil Ne Pukara]]'', "Deewanon se yeh mat poocho..." ''[[Upkar]]'', "Khush raho har khushi hai..." ''[[Suhaag Raat]]'' and "Humsafar ab yeh safar kat jaayega..." ''[[Juari]]'', "Chandi ki deewaar..." and "Le chal le chal mere jeevan saathi..." ''[[Vishwas]]'' (1969), "Koi jab tumhara hriday tod de..." ''[[Purab Aur Paschim]]'', "Darpan ko dekha..." ''[[Upaasna]]'', "Jo tumko ho pasand..." ''[[Safar]]'' and "Mujhe nahin poochni tumse beeti baatein..." ''[[Anjaan Raahein]]'' (1970).

Out of the numerous songs he gave his voice to, "Kahin door jab din dhal Jaaye" from ''[[Anand (1971 film)|Anand]]''(1971),<ref>{{youtube|wTqcchaliaXRANkw|Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaaye – Mukesh – Anand 1970 HD}}</ref> "Ek Pyaar ka Nagma hai" from ''[[Shor (film)|Shor]]'' (1972), "Maine Tere Liye Hi Saat Rang Ke" from [[Anand (1970 film)|''Anand'']] (1972), "Sab Kuch Seekha Humne" from ''[[Anari]]'' (1959), "Jeena yahan marna yahan" and "Kehta hai Joker" from ''[[Mera Naam Joker]]'' (1971) are the most popular among his fans and followers.<ref name="Movie Madaari">{{cite web|url=http://www.moviemadaari.in/2016/07/mukesh-ki-kahaani-unsung-singing-legend-hindi-cinema/|title=Mukesh Ki Kahaani-Story of the most unsung singing legend of Hindi Cinema|last=Ganguly|first=Souvik|date=22 July 2016|website=Movie Madaari| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161002011919/http://www.moviemadaari.in/2016/07/mukesh-ki-kahaani-unsung-singing-legend-hindi-cinema/| archive-date=2 October 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

==As an actor and producer==
Mukesh started his career as an actor singer in the film ''Nirdosh'' in 1941, with Nalini Jaywant as his heroine. His second film was ''Adab Arz'' in 1943. He played a guest role in Raj Kapoor's film ''Aah'' in 1953. He acted as a hero in the film ''Mashooka'' in 1953, opposite Suraiya and in the film ''Anurag'' (1956) (he was also the co-producer and composer in the film), opposite [[Usha Kiran]] and ''Mridula Rani''. Mukesh also produced a film ''Malhar'' (1951) with hero Arjun & heroine Shammi with Darling Films.<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006715/bio Mukesh].

== Appreciation ==
Mukesh was a favourite of renowned Indian spin-bowler [[Bhagwath Chandrasekhar]]. When the sound of a Mukesh song drifted to the pitch, Chandrasekhar's acknowledgement of the tribute would bring a roar from the crowd. [[Sunil Gavaskar]] wrote that sometimes he hummed a Mukesh tune on the field to inspire Chandra. Chandra's passion affected team-mates [[Syed Kirmani|Kirmani]], [[Gundappa Viswanath]], and even some journalists.<ref name="Suresh Menon">{{cite web | url=http://www.thecricketmonthly.com/story/1125092/coffee-with-chandra | title=Coffee with Chandra | publisher=[[ESPN Cricinfo]] | work=The Cricket Monthly | date=6 November 2017 | access-date=7 November 2017 | author=Menon, Suresh| author-link = Suresh Menon (sports writer)}}</ref>

Google commemorated Mukesh on his 93rd birthday anniversary in 2016.

==Personal life==
Mukesh married Saral Trivedi, daughter of Raichand Trivedi, a millionaire.<ref name="MM"/><ref>{{cite news |title=Nitin Mukesh looks back at his late father Mukesh's illustrious journey! |url=https://www.filmfare.com/features/nitin-mukesh-looks-back-at-his-late-father-mukeshs-illustrious-journey-28972-1.html |access-date=22 November 2020 |work=Filmfare |date=20 June 2018 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Remembering Mukesh: The man with the golden voice |url=https://www.mid-day.com/articles/remembering-mukesh-the-man-with-the-golden-voice/15558173 |access-date=22 November 2020 |work=Mid Day |date=22 July 2016 |language=en}}</ref> With no proper house, an erratic income and what was then considered in India a supposedly "immoral" profession (singer in movies), the consent of Saral's father for this marriage could not be obtained and Mukesh and Saral were forced to elope. They got married in a temple in [[Kandivali]] on 22 July 1946, Mukesh's 23rd birthday, with the help of the actor [[Motilal Rajvansh|Motilal]] and from the residence of R. D. Mathur. Everyone made dire predictions of unhappy days and divorce, but both weathered the lean days and celebrated their thirtieth wedding anniversary on 22 July 1976, four days before his departure for the USA. The couple had five children – Rita, the singer [[Nitin Mukesh|Nitin]], Nalini (d. 1978), Mohnish and Namrata (Amrita). The actor [[Neil Nitin Mukesh]] is a grandson of Mukesh (son of Nitin).<ref name="MM"/>

==Death==
Mukesh died of a heart attack on 27 August 1976 in [[Detroit, Michigan]], USA, where he had gone to perform in a concert. That morning, he got up early and went to take a shower. He came out short of breath and complaining of chest pains. He was rushed to a hospital but was pronounced dead. The rest of the concert was completed by [[Lata Mangeshkar]] and his son [[Nitin Mukesh]]. His body was flown to India by Mangeshkar, where a grand funeral ceremony was held in the presence of several actors, with personalities of the [[Indian film industry]] and fans paying tribute. When news of his death reached his acquaintance and actor [[Raj Kapoor]], he burst into tears, and remarked, "I have lost my voice,"{{citation needed|date=February 2012}} which is a testimony to the association of Mukesh's voice (in playback) to the immensely popular songs of Raj Kapoor's films. A famous song of the 1950s featured on Bharat Bhushan ''Aa laut ke aa ja mere meet'' is another example of his earlier melodies, as is ''Dil tadap tadapke keh raha hai'', picturised on Dilip Kumar.

After Mukesh's death, his newer, hitherto unreleased, songs were released in 1977 in films such as ''[[Dharam Veer (1977 film)|Dharam Veer]]'', ''[[Amar Akbar Anthony]]'', ''Khel khiladi ka'', ''Darinda'' and ''Chandi sona''. The year 1978 also featured a considerable number of Mukesh's songs in films such as ''Aahuti'', ''Paramatma'', ''Tumhari kasam'' and ''Satyam Shivam Sundaram'', where Mukesh sang his last film song ''Chanchal sheetal nirmal komal'' for [[Raj Kapoor]]'s younger brother, [[Shashi Kapoor]]. From 1980 onward, Mukesh's voice was heard in many later released films such as ''Shaitan mujarim'', ''Premika'', ''Patthar se Takkar'' (1980), ''Sanjh ki Bela'', ''Maila Anchal'' (1981), ''Aarohi'' (1982), ''Chor Mandali'' (1983), ''Nirlaj'' (1985), ''Love and God'' (1986), ''Shubh Chintak'' (1989), and his last known release of ''Chand Grahan'' (1997).<ref>{{cite news |title=Remembering Mukesh |url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1203023 |access-date=6 September 2019 |work=DAWN.COM |date=27 August 2015 |language=en}}</ref>
