Welcome to Design Team:

Mr. Sachin Kharat-

Design Engineer

Shamshad Begum was born in Amritsar, Punjab on 14th April 1919 and she was a very big fan of K L Saigal. Shamshad Begum made her debut on radio on the Peshawar radio in Lahore on 16th December 1937, captivating the hearts of her listeners with the enchanting depth of her voice. In fact Shamshad was not so conscious of her not so beautiful face and she never posed for any pictures and not many people saw her pictures any where. She is credited with singing one of the first Westernized songs, Meri jaan Sunday ke Sunday by C Ramchandra.

Shamshad Begum has recently been conferred with the prestigious Padma Bhushan by the Government of India in the year 2009 which probably can be considered a very small recognition of her talent over so long a period of her existence. Indian President Pratibha Patil, presented the Padma Bhushan award, to Bollywood playback singer Shamshad Begum at the Presidential Palace in New Delhi, on March 31, 2009.

Shamshad Begum has always remained away from fame & publicity and there has hardly been any recognition for the services & the in born talent she inherently possessed. As a mark of respect to the living legend I Salute her & pray to the Almighty to usher her many many more years of peaceful life to enable her to complete the much cherished Century.
