Entertainment News Desk – When your heart is broken, what will you do… This song is often heard from the mouth of pained lovers. This song was sung 72 years ago by KL Segal, previously ‘Tansen’ and superstar of the Hindi film industry. Kundan Lal Sehgal’s name is famous as an unmatched singer in Hindi films, but his fans consider him the first superstar in the Hindi cinema world due to his best acting in some films like Devdas (1936). Today KL Sehgal passed away. So let us know some special things about the first superstar in the Hindi cinema world-
Born on 11 April 1904 in Jammu, Sehgal Saheb sang 185 songs in his cinema career and people still love to listen to his songs. He has also sung songs in Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Punjabi, Tamil and Persian languages. Every song of Sehgal hid a message. He tied the relationship together in a thread with ‘Ek Bangal Bain Nyara’, while ‘Hai Hai Yeh Jaleem Zamna’ also presented the world with the bitter truth.
Apart from singing, KL Sehgal has also acted. In his two-decade cine career, Sehgal acted in 36 films, singing approximately 185 songs, which included 142 film and 43 non-film songs. Once, there was a song on the radio at 7 in the morning in Sehgal’s voice. His voice became a part of people’s daily routine. Sehgal was the first singer to start royalty on songs.
Even if Sehgal is called the Kundan of music, it would not be wrong. An incident about Sehgal’s song ‘JAB Dil Hi Tabi Gaya’ is quite famous. It is said about Sehgal Sahab that he did not sing without drinking alcohol, but for the movie ‘Shahjan’, he was drunk without singing the song ‘Jab Dil Hai Tab Gaya’. Not only this, everyone liked this song for the first time. After this song, KL Sehgal had said that the song ‘Jab Dil Hai Toota’ should be played at my funeral and that is what happened.
