Bappi Lahiri formed formidable partnerships with different singers. He was related to legendary Kishore Kumar, who was his maternal uncle. In fact, Bappi da made his acting debut in Kishore’s Badhti Ka Naam Dadhi (1974). Bappi played a character called Bhopu in the madcap comedy. It’s said Kishore Kumar’s last song, Guru guru, was recorded by Bappi just a day before Kishore died. Bappi was reportedly hugely upset by his uncle’s death and even thought of quitting films. However, better sense prevailed and he went back to composing. Bappi benefited a lot from Kishore’s versatility, especially when it came to rendering the numbers of South remakes like Himmatwala (1983), Maqsad (1984), Bewafai (1985) and many more. Sharaabi (1984) remains their most talked about album, where Kishore sang a ghazal like Intehan ho gayi intezar ki on one hand a comedy song like Jahan char yaar on the other.
