Mahendra Kapoor passes away 
By Bollywood Hungama News Network, September 29, 2008 - 11:27 IST
The legendary singer Mahendra Kapoor, who set not just India, but the whole globe sing with him 'Mere Desh Ki Dharti Sona Ugale Ugaley Here Moti', the song that was only next to our National anthem, bid adieu to this mortal world on Saturday due to a cardiac arrest at 1930 hrs IST while he was still asleep.
Churning hits and superhits seemed to have become a habit for this velvet voiced man. Songs like 'Tum Agar Saat Dene Ka Wada Karo', 'Lakhon Hain Yahan Dilwale', 'Bharat Ka Rahnewala Hoon', 'Chalo Ek Baar', 'Neele Gagan Ke Tale' etc... stand testimonial to this. Ironical as it may sound, but the Maharashtra government had just recently announced the Lata Mangeshkar award for his lifetime contribution in the field of playback music.
Mahendra Kapoor was 74 and is survived by wife, three daughters and a son. His funeral took place on Sunday. Bollywood Hungama prays for his soul to rest in eternal peace! Needless to say, we will miss you, Mahendrajee...
