On this momentous occasion of the 100th birth anniversary of Mohammad Rafi, we remember and celebrate the unparalleled legacy of one of the greatest playback singers in Indian cinema. Born on December 24, 1924, Rafi Sahab's voice became the heartbeat of millions, transcending borders, languages, and generations.
Rafi's singing was not just about melodies; it was an embodiment of emotions.

Chahe Koi Mujhe Junglee Kahe," he effortlessly brought life to every composition. His ability to adapt his voice to suit the mood of the song and the personality of the actor on screen remains unmatched.
His humility and devotion to his craft were as remarkable as his talent. Despite his monumental success, he remained grounded, earning respect and love from all corners of the music industry and beyond.
