The Rare Outbursts of Mohammad Rafi

Once it so
It happened that he had gotten upset and was angry for a reason. A film journalist
saw the anger on his face in Mehboob studio recording with Kishore Kumar and
Lata Mangeshkar. The song went on to become a super hit that the film producer
asked the spot boy to go and buy a bunch of flowers. The spot boy came back
with just two bouquets of flowers. The producer gave one bouquet to Lata Mangeshkar. Mohammad Rafi stood up to receive the second bouquet, but the producer ignored him and handed it to Kishore Kumar instead.

In 1970, Kishore Kumar was riding high, while Mohammad Rafi’s career was declining. The bouquet was likely gifted to Kishore Kumar to impress and keep him happy. Seeing this, Rafi saab was very upset and felt
insulted. Mohd Rafi had helped this
producer during his bad times. Mohammad Rafi had even given the producer a house to stay for free. However, once the producer succeeded, he forgot Rafi’s support.
