But the relationship did not endure. Kishore soon became a singing sensation widely admired for his range and style.

'''Omkar Prasad Nayyar''' (16 January 1926 – 28 January 2007) was an [[Cinema of India|Indian film]] [[music composer]], singer-songwriter, music producer, and musician. He is considered to be one of the most rhythmic and melodious music directors of the [[Hindi film industry]].<ref>[http://www.cinemasangeet.com/hindi-film-music/profiles/o-p-nayyar-the-rhythm-king.html O.P.Nayyar – The Rhythm King – Hindi Film Music – Profiles]. Cinema Sangeet (16 January 1926). Retrieved on 2018-11-08.</ref> He won the 1958 [[Filmfare Award for Best Music Director]] for ''[[Naya Daur (1957 film)|Naya Daur]]''. Nayyar worked extensively with singers [[Geeta Dutt]], [[Asha Bhosle]] and [[Mohammed Rafi]], though not with leading [[Bollywood]] female singer [[Lata Mangeshkar]].

==Early life and career==
Nayyar was born in [[Lahore]], [[British India]] (present [[Pakistan]]). He then underwent music training.
He composed the background score for ''[[Kaneez (1949 film)|Kaneez]]'' (1949), and 1952's ''Aasmaan'' (produced by [[Dalsukh M. Pancholi]]), was his first film as music director. Nayyar then composed music for ''Chham Chhama Chham'' (1952) and ''[[Baaz (1953 film)|Baaz]]'' (1953). Film producer, director and actor Guru Dutt enlisted him to compose and conduct music for ''[[Aar Paar]]'' (1954), ''[[Mr. & Mrs. '55]]'' (1955) and ''C.I.D.'' (1956). Nayyar's early work was primarily performed by Shamshad Begum, Geeta Dutt and Mohammed Rafi, with Asha Bhosle introduced in ''C.I.D.'' Nayyar never worked with Lata Mangeshkar, though her song ''Saari Saari Raat Teri Yaad Satayein'' from the 1958 film ''Aji Bas Shukriya''was used in the 1973 Hindi film ''Taxi Driver'', for which he was the music director.

In 1957 Filmalaya introduced [[Nasir Hussain]], who wanted a composer to provide romantic scores for newcomers Shammi Kapoor and [[Ameeta]]. Nayyar's scores were featured in the Hussain films ''[[Tumsa Nahin Dekha (1957 film)|Tumsa Nahin Dekha]]'' (1957) and ''[[Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon]]'' (1964). During the decade, state-controlled [[All India Radio]] banned most of Nayyar's songs because the broadcaster considered them too "trendy".<ref>[http://www.mohdrafi.com/meri-awaaz-suno/o-p-nayyar-immortal-relationship-with-mohammad-rafi.html O.P.Nayyar's immortal relationship with Mohammad Rafi | Rafians tribute to a true Maestro – Mohd Rafi]. Mohdrafi.com (12 August 2007). Retrieved on 2018-11-08.</ref>

According to music and film expert Rajesh Subramanian, ''"Aap Ke Haseen Rukh"'' (from ''[[Baharen Phir Bhi Aayengi]]'') was planned with full orchestration but many of the musicians were late for the recording. After a disagreement with Mohammed Rafi,<ref>{{citation|title=O.P.

Based on a [[Bengali language]] work by [[Rabindranath Tagore]], Nayyar composed ''"Chal Akelaa, Chal Akelaa"'' (sung by Mukesh in 1969 film ''[[Sambandh]]'').

Nayyar co-produced songs with [[Shamshad Begum]] (including ''"Kajra Mohabbatwala"''), and after [[Madhubala]]'s 1969 death [[Vyjayanthimala]], [[Sadhana Shivdasani|Sadhana]], [[Mala Sinha]], [[Padmini (actress)|Padmini]], [[Asha Parekh]] and [[Sharmila Tagore]] lip-synced several Nayyar-Bhosle songs. Nayyar and Bhosle parted ways in 1974, and he then worked with Dilraj Kaur, Krishna Kalle, [[Vani Jayaram]] and Kavita Krishanmurthy.<ref name="Rediff" /> [[Majrooh Sultanpuri]] and [[Sahir Ludhianvi]] wrote the lyrics for some of Nayyar's earlier songs, including ''"Naya Daur"''. Nayyar also worked with developing lyricists such as [[Jan Nisar Akhtar]], [[Qamar Jalalabadi]], [[S. H. Bihari]] and Ahmed Wasi. He began the tradition of assigning full, three-minute songs to comedians. [[Om Prakash]] sang Nayyar's ''"Churi Bane Kanta Bane"'' in ''[[Jaali Note]]'' and ''Eent ki dukhi paan ka ikka'' in [[Howrah Bridge (1958 film)|''Howrah Bridge'']] and [[Johnny Walker (actor)|Johnny Walker]] sang ''"Aye Dil Hai Mushkil Jeena Yahaan"'' in ''[[C.I.D. (1956 film)|CID]]'', ''"Jaane Kahan Mera Jigar Gaya Jee"'' in ''Mr. & Mrs. 55'', ''"Main Bambaika Baaboo, Naam Meraa Anjaanaa"'' in ''[[Naya Daur (1957 film)|Naya Daur]]'' and ''"Bajewala"'' in ''Basant''.

In addition to songs for Asha Bhosle and Geeta Dutt's, ''Thandi Thandi Hawaa'', Nayyar wrote ''"Yeh Desh Hai Veer Jawaanonkaa"'' (featuring [[Dilip Kumar]] and [[Ajit Khan|Ajit]]) for ''Naya Daur'' (1957). The song earned him the 1958 Filmfare Best Music Director Award. The last Nayyar song performed by Bhosle was ''"Chain Se Humko Kabhi"''. Intended for ''[[Pran Jaye Par Vachan Na Jaye]]'' (1973), disappeared in the film's final cut but won Bhosle the 1975 [[Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback Singer]]. Nayyar was less active in the 1970s and did not compose music for younger actors such as [[Rajesh Khanna]] and [[Amitabh Bachchan]]. His films included [[Dilip Kumar]], [[Raj Kapoor]], [[Dev Anand]], [[Guru Dutt]], Dharmendra, [[Shammi Kapoor]], [[Joy Mukherjee]], [[Biswajit]], [[Feroz Khan (actor, born 1939)|Feroz Khan]], [[Bharat Bhushan Bhalla|Bharat Bhushan]], [[Madhubala]], [[Asha Parekh]], [[Sadhana Shivdasani|Sadhana]], [[Mumtaz (actress)|Mumtaz]], [[Sharmila Tagore]], [[Rajshree]], [[Rekha]], [[Ameeta]] and [[Shyama (Hindi actress)|Shyama]]. In addition to Hindi films, Nayyar composed for ''Neerajanam'' in [[Telugu language|Telugu]]. He made a brief comeback during the 1990s with ''Mangni'' and ''Nishchay'' in 1992 and ''Zid'' in 1994.
O.P. Nayyar played a major part in shaping up Asha's career, but Asha rarely mentions it. She mentions [[S. D. Burman|S. D. Burman's]] name instead. Why OP and Asha parted away in 1974, both of them never talked about it.

==Personal life==
In retirement Nayyar stayed in touch with only a few people, including [[Gajendra Singh (producer)|Gajendra Singh]] and Ahmed Wasi; Singh included him as a judge for his television show, ''Sa Re Ga Ma Pa''. Wasi interviewed Nayyar twice on [[Vividh Bharati]] and presented a series of six one-hour episodes, ''Mujhe Yaad Sab Hai Zaraa Zaraa'', about his life.

He had two brothers: P. P. (a physician) and G. P. (a retired army dentist in [[Secunderabad]], who died in 2010). Nayyar's wife, Saroj Mohini Nayyar, wrote the lyrics to ''"Preetam Aan Milo"'' (originally sung by [[C. H. Atma]] in 1945 which was used later in the film ''[[Mr. & Mrs. '55]]'' by [[Geeta Dutt]]). Estranged from his family, he requested that they be barred from his funeral. Nayyar had moved out of his Mumbai home, staying with a friend in [[Virar]] and then with a friend in [[Thane]]. He died on 28 January 2007, survived by his wife, three daughters and a son. Nayyar's death was followed by tributes from many Bollywood figures, including [[Lata Mangeshkar]], [[Sharmila Tagore]], [[Mumtaz (actress)|Mumtaz]], [[Mahesh Bhatt]], [[Mohammed Zahur Khayyam|Khayyam]], [[Shakti Samanta]], [[Sonu Nigam]], [[Ravindra Jain]], [[Anu Malik]], [[B. R. Chopra]] and [[Shammi Kapoor]]. A commemorative stamp was issued by [[India Post]] on 3 May 2013. His granddaughter [[Niharica Raizada]] is also an actress.<ref>Lohana, Avinash (17 January 2017) [http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/OP-Nayyars-granddaughter-Niharica-to-act-in-a-comedy-film/articleshow/51303190.cms Warrior Savitri: OP Nayyar's granddaughter Niharica to act in a comedy film].
