<span class=normal>Madan Mohans biggest successes<BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>It may sound very strange but its the truth that my father did not win any award. At that time there was only one award, Filmfare Awards. He was nominated four times but didnt win. What Im trying to say is that a person gets a little bitter, rightly or wrongly so. But he then took to drinking, got a little frustrated and when he finally won the National Award for the film Dastak, he didnt want to go and get it. He had to be cajoled by Sanjeev Kumar who also won the National Award for the same film as an actor. I remember him coming to our house forcing dad to go with him. They both finally went and received the award. His biggest successes which he didnt live to see were after he died, Mausam and Laila Majnu. Koi Patthar Se Na Maare Mere Deewane Ko from Laila Majnu ran for eleven weeks. It was the first ever time that his song was on number one in the charts. He was always number two. I remember the song Jhumka Gira Re was on number two for many weeks. </span>
