Kundan Lal Saigal, the man who defined the golden era of Indian playback singing, had an unlikely start. Before his voice echoed in every corner of India, he was a humble typewriter salesman. Born in 1904, Saigal’s early years were spent in various odd jobs, but his innate musical talent eventually led him to the film industry. His 1932 debut in ‘Mohabbat Ki Kasauti’ marked the beginning of a legendary career. He blended classical thumri with popular melody, creating a style that was entirely his own.
