Who was 'Anjaan'?
But the world did not know Lalji Pandey by this name. Actually his friends had given him a nickname 'Anjaan' and this name gave him real identity. He had no connection with art, he was a student of commerce but his pen was so sharp that whatever he wrote, the words echoed in the air.
Singer mukesh had discovered 'Anjaan'
In true sense, this rare diamond that Mumbai's film world found was the discovery of singer Mukesh. mukesh had once come to Banaras for his programme and here, on someone's request, he heard some lines written by Anjaan from his mouth and then told him that he should write songs for films. Anjaan ji wanted to go to mumbai because he did not like the climate of Banaras anyway, and on top of that, his asthma was stopping his breathing. In such a situation, the doctors were also advising him that if he wanted to stay alive, he should leave this city.
In such a situation, the ailing Anjaan left Banaras and left for Mumbai. mumbai also did not take care of Anjaan, the city of dreams made him suffer a lot. Anjaan spent many nights sleeping in trains because he did not have a place to hide his head. We would sleep under an apartment building.
