Nitin Mukesh
Playback singer; Mukesh's son · 1950–
Nitin Mukesh is the son of the great playback singer Mukesh, and grew up at the heart of Raj Kapoor's musical world. His contribution to Mera Naam Joker (1970) was small but touching: he recalled that when 'Chintu', Rishi Kapoor, was fourteen, he sang a snatch of a song, 'With a Cheer, Not a Tear', for him, while his father sang 'Teetar Ke Do Aage Teetar' for the same boy. So both Mukeshes, father and son, sang for the young Rishi Kapoor in the same film.
He became a successful playback singer of the 1980s, with 'Zindagi Ki Na Toote Ladi' from Kranti (1981) and 'So Gaya Ye Jahan' from Tezaab (1988). His son is the actor Neil Nitin Mukesh.
