“Immortal”, “kind” and “gentle” are some words that Bollywood celebrities like Lata Mangeshkar, Jackie Shroff and Madhuri Dixit-Nene have used to describe the late Bollywood singer Mohammed Rafi on his 93rd birth anniversary on Sunday.

Born on December 24, 1924, Rafi ventured into the Indian music industry as a playback singer in 1941 and never looked back till his sudden death in 1980 at the age of 55.

He is best known for his songs like Yeh duniya yeh mehfil, Chura liya hai tumne, Tum jo mil gaye ho and Kya hua tera wada.
