Shitala Pandey, better known as Sameer Anjaan or Sameer, is an Indian lyricist, known for writing songs predominantly for Bollywood films. He is a Guinness World Record holder for writing the most songs.[1]

His father is the famed Hindi lyricist, Lalji "Anjaan" Pandey. He has won three Filmfare Awards.[2]

Biography

Sameer, officially named Shitala Pandey, but commonly known by his nickname Rajan, was born near Banaras, Uttar Pradesh. He earned a Master of Commerce degree at the Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi, and started a new position as a bank officer at the Central Bank of India.[2] However, a few days after joining, he left the job because he "knew the bank was not my world".[3] To pursue a career as a lyricist, he moved to Mumbai in 1980.[3]

Career

Sameer started his career as a lyricist in 1983 with the film Bekhabar (1983).[4] The first film song he recorded was "Maar Ke Kataaree Mar Jaibe" for the Bhojpuri film Bairi Saawan (1984) sung by Suresh Wadkar and Preeti Sagar. In 1990, he came into prominence with songs in films such as Dil and Aashiqui. He won his first Filmfare Award for the song "Nazar Ke Saamne" in the latter. In the following decades he emerged as a leading lyricist in Hindi films, writing the lyrics for over 4,000 songs in more than 500 films.[2][3][5]

According to Sameer, his inspirations have been lyricists Majrooh Sultanpuri and Anand Bakshi, and his father, Anjaan. He has often said, "Whatever I am today is only because of my father."[3][5]

Sameer won two additional Filmfare Awards in 1993 and 1994; one for the song "Teri Umeed Tera Intezaar" from the movie Deewana, and the second for the song "Ghunghat Ki Aad" from Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke. In 1998, he won Zee Cine Award for "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Some of his most successful songs include songs in films like Beta, Saajan, Raja Babu, Coolie No. 1, Raja Hindustani, Anjaam, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Fiza, Dhadkan, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Devdas, Raaz, Dil Hai Tumhaara, Ishq Vishk, Dil Maange More, Tere Naam, Asambhav, Fida, No Entry, Aksar, Dhoom 2, Saawariya, Race, Damadamm!, Housefull 2, Rowdy Rathore, Son of Sardaar, Dabangg 2, Balmaa, and more.

The music composer duo Nadeem-Shravan chose Sameer as their lyricist for most of their works. Sameer wrote more than 950 songs under the music composition of famous music composer duo Anand–Milind. He has also worked with other music directors like Rajesh Roshan, Uttam Singh, Ilayaraja, Jatin–Lalit, Dilip Sen-Sameer Sen, Nikhil-Vinay, Anu Malik, Aadesh Shrivastava, Anand Raj Anand, Viju Shah, A. R. Rahman, Vidyasagar, Himesh Reshammiya, Ismail Darbar, Bappi Lahiri, Vishal–Shekhar, Monty Sharma, Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, Sajid–Wajid, Pritam, Sandesh Shandilya, Sanjeev-Darshan, Sachin–Jigar, and Adnan Sami.

Personal life

Sameer is married to Anita Pandey and the couple have three children: daughters Sanchita and Suchita, and son Siddhesh.[4] His mother, Indira Pandey, lives with them.[3]

A biography, Sameer – A Way with Words by Derek Bose, was released by Amitabh Bachchan in 2007.[2][6]
