Interestingly, Rafi was a replacement

Although I knew Ashok Kumar – who played the lead in Sajan (1947) – was a singer of note himself, I was surprised to know that he was supposed to sing the film’s songs.

But he was replaced by Mohammed Rafi, because he couldn’t reach the recording studio on time due to the riots.

The only song from the film in my collection was Rafi’s version of Humko Tumhara Hi Aasra.

Moti B A wrote the C Ramchandra composition.

The other version of the song was a duet. Lalita Deulkar joined Rafi behind the microphone for it.
