How did Saawan Kumar Tak become a lyricist?

There are two types of artists, one is those who know from childhood what they want to do when they grow up. The second is those who work like a common man but later they come to know about their talent. At the same time, there are some people who identify one quality and work on it but later they also come to know about their other talent. Something similar happened with the famous filmmaker Saawan Kumar Tak. Saawan Kumar wanted to become a filmmaker from the beginning, but later he became a lyricist along with being a filmmaker.

Yes, for a film, Saawan Kumar Tak had to get such a song written that would settle in the hearts of the people. But the writer was not able to do this and later Saawan Kumar wrote that song which became evergreen. Saawan Kumar understood from there that there is a lyricist written inside him who can write one song after another.

How did Saawan Kumar become a lyricist?

writer ajay Brahmatmaj has shared a video on his Instagram. He was asked how Sawan Kumar became a lyricist. On this, he said, 'It is a very interesting story that Sawan ji had released many films. 'Gomti Ke Kinare' had also become a film. He had to get a song written for the film 'Hawas', so he went to Majrooh Sultanpuri sahab.'

In the same video, he further said, 'Coincidentally, I was also with him that day. So when Majrooh sahab started writing the lines, Sawan sahab said - no...no...it is not like this, it has to be written like this. Then he wrote...there was a discussion for 10 minutes, then Sawan sahab did not understand. This went on for about three quarters of an hour, Majrooh sahab's mood got so bad that he made a ball type of those 10-15 papers and threw it on Sawan sahab's face and said, go and write this song yourself.'

In the same video, writer Brahmatmaj further said, 'Then Sawan ji got up, came home and at night he wrote the first song 'Teri galiyon mein na rakhenge kadam, aaj ke baad' and gave it to usha ji in the morning and usha ji composed it, Mohammad Rafi sang it. That song was outstanding and a superhit. This was Sawan ji and this was usha ji.'
