New Delhi . In the ongoing battle between death and life, a person often comes closest to those things which give the most comfort to his heart. The last days of the life of Meena Kumari, known as the tragedy queen of Hindi cinema, were also filled with such emotional moments. When this actress, who has left a deep mark in the world of acting, was struggling with a serious illness, a song in her life had become the biggest support for her pain. It was not just a film song but had become such a part of his personal life, in which he could see his incomplete feelings, loneliness and pain.

Meena Kumari was fighting a serious illness for a long time. Her condition was continuously worsening and she was confined to a bed in her room, away from the glamor of films. This period of his life is considered very difficult. At such times, many artists associated with the film world used to come to meet him. But during this time, such an emotional moment came to light which made its place in the most poignant memories of the last days of his life.

It is said that Meena Kumari was very fond of the song “Mujhe Pyaar Ki Zindagi Dene Wale, Kabhi Gham Na Dena Khushi Dene Wale” from the film “Pyaar Ka Sagar”. This song had settled in her heart so much that she often tried to reduce her pain by humming it. He felt that this song was telling the story of his own life. Perhaps this was the reason why this song became the closest companion of his feelings amidst loneliness and suffering.

During this time, one day the great singer Mohammad Rafi came to meet him. When he was sitting near him, Meena Kumari expressed her heartfelt desire and requested him to sing the same song which was very close to her heart. Mohammad Rafi accepted this wish of Meena Kumari, who was suffering from illness at that time, without any hesitation. It is said that he hummed this song in front of her with the same emotion and pain. That moment was so emotional that it was not easy for the people present there to forget it.

This song also had its own interesting story. It was prepared for the film in a very short time and many challenges were encountered during recording. Eventually the song was recorded and became a part of the film, but perhaps no one would have thought that in the times to come, this song would become one of the most emotional memories of Meena Kumari’s life.
