When I turned up at the hotel with a photographer, (i am a journalist) Rafi Sahib was wearing a kameez and lungoti. Rafi Sahib was a family friend. My father told me: "Uncle se hath milao". As I was sitting across the other side of the room and was about to get up, Rafi Sahib himself stood up and walked across the room to shake hands. "Kaise ho bete. Bohat bure sahafi bun gaye ho." he told me in his husky voice. I have pics of myself with Rafi Sahib holding me as a baby!
He got changed into a suit for the pics, and with a child like innocence asked me:"Mein ghari pehn loon?". Rafi Sahib loved watches and had a huge collection. His other passions incidentally were badmington, which he played everyday at his home with family and friends, and driving. He would often drive around Bombay at night to relax and get away from his unhappy family life!
Anyway, Rafi Sahib posed for several snaps including one with a telephone, which was his own suggestion.
I'll post that later. I ermember the English photographer saying to me: "You sure this bloke is a star? He's just so sweet and down to earth. It's like photographing a young child!"
Meanwhile look at this pic which captures his innocence.
Regards Mazher Mahmood

Unhappy family life?

Posted by: RAFIK1 Feb 9 2005, 08:09 PM

Dear All,

I would like to recommend that we should not discuss on Rafi Saan family matter in this forum as it is private and personal matter.

Thanks a million Mazher, thats one of the great pics that I've ever seen.

Well discussing about anything about Rafi saab gives us very very valuable information about him which is rarely available. Discussing facts is no bad. I need every insight into this great personality.

i am very glad to see that there are a lot of people who still love Rafi Sabeb.
The indian media is trying to forget him and often doesn't mention his name and the music Directors and other singers have also forgotten him.

May god bless you all

they can never do it coz


"DIL KA SUNA SAAZ
TARANA DHUNDEGA
TEER E NIGHEN NAAZ
NISHAANA DHUNDEGA
AAARE MUJHKO MERE BAAD
ZAMANA DHUNDEGA"


"TUM MUJHE YUN BHULANA PAOGE
HAAN TUM MUJHE YUN PAOGE
JAB KABHI BHI SUNOGE GEET MERE
SAANG SAANG BHI GUNGUNAOGE"



ppl forget histroy ,history never forgets ppl

and:

"mere saathi merie awaaz ke peeche chale awo"

people can try what they like, but no one can wipe out his mark on HFM and HM in general. Not only in India, but around the globe people love him and adore his magical voice.

As someone said: "zamana jab ta gajega Mohammed Rafi yaad ajega"
