In 2011,the Hindi film industry lost some of their most-loved legends like Shammi Kapoor, Jagjit Singh and Dev Anand among others.
Jagjit Singh (February 8, 1941- October 10, 2011) was great ghazal singer. He was born in Sri Ganga Nagar, Rajasthan. He was known for his style of ghazal singing, he was a great writer, a great composer.
Jagjit Singh was admitted to the ICU reportedly due to a brain hemorrhage and he underwent an emergency neurosurgery on admission.
He is survived by his wife Chitra Singh, with whom he had produced several record breaking albums. His only son died in a car crash which prompted his wife Chitra Singh to stop singing.
Every Ghazal lover or non lover misses him because of his legacy of music.
His popular ghazals include, Meri zindagi kisi aur ki, mere naam ka koi aur hai, Apni marzi se kahan apne safar ke hum hain, Wo jo hum mein tumme qaraar tha, Patta-patta boota-boota haal hamaara jaane hai, Hoshwalo ko khabar, etc.
Jagjjit Singh has also sung for popular movies like Arth, Prem Geet, Sarfarosh and Tarqeeb.
Veteran actor Shammi Kapoor, (21 October 1930– 14 August 2011) hailed as 'Elvis Presley of India' and whose famous yell 'Yahoo' signified the arrival of a rebel star against the reigning trio of his time Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand and Dilip Kumar, passed away due to chronic renal failure.
Kapoor is survived by his wife Neeladevi, son Aditya Raj, daughter Kachan Desai.
Shammi heralded the swinging 60s and a large part of his appeal was primarily due to the immensely catchy and upbeat numbers like "Suku Suku","O Haseena Zulfo wali", "Aaj kal tere mere pyar ke charche", "Aaja Aaja Main hoon Pyar tera" where he was at his boisterous best.
Even though success came with light weight tales like Kashmir ki kali, Rajkumar, Jaanwar and An evening in Paris, his performances in flicks like Junglee, Badtameez, Bluff Master and Pagla Kahin Ka, Teesri Manzil, Brahmachari silenced his critics.
Andaz released in 1971 was his last movie as a leading man but his character roles in Vidhata, Hero, Prem Rog were well received.
Dev Anand(26 September 1923 – 4 December 2011),Often compared to the famous actor Gregory Peck died in his room at The Washington Mayfair Hotel in London at the age of 88 of a cardiac arrest.His death came just months after the release of his last film, Charge Sheet.Anand was reportedly in London for a medical check up at the time of his death.Condolences poured in from all corners of the Indian film industry, with most of them remembering his positive attitude towards life.
Anand will be remembered for his boyish charm, his trademark hairstyle, his sloping walk, rapid dialogue delivery and most of all for his indomitable spirit that serves as an inspiration for generations of actors after his time. Bollywood has truly lost one of its favourite sons.
Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi(1941-2011), who overcame an impaired eye to become a visionary and pioneering captain of the Indian Test team, has died in Delhi at the age of 70. He was suffering from interstitial lung disease. He is survived by his wife Sharmila Tagore, his son Saif Ali Khan and his two daughters Soha and Saba Ali Khan. Tagore, Saif and Soha are prominent actors in India's film industry.
Pataudi was the ninth and last Nawab of Pataudi until 1971, when the Indian government abolished royal entitlements through the 26th Amendment to the Constitution. He was also the editor of Sportsworld, the now defunct cricket magazine.
Pataudi, regarded as one of the finest Indian captains, played 46 Tests for the country, scoring 2793 runs for an average of 34.91 with an unbeaten 203 being his highest score.
In all, he smashed six centuries and 16 fifties in his career.
