Times of IndiaKATHMANDU : Cable operators in the country will seek content-related clarification from India's Zee TV before airing episodes of 'Buddha', a period drama based on the life of the founder of Buddhism, to ensure Nepalese sentiments are not hurt. They had refused to broadcast the first episode of the weekly serial on Sunday after actor Kabir Bedi, who is playing the lead role, said on Zee News during a promotion of the show on Saturday that Buddha was born in India. His statement had led to protests on social media since many Nepalese are sensitive to claims about the Buddha being born in India.
"We blocked Zee TV between 11.15 am and 12.15 pm on Sunday because of the protests," said Sudhir Parajuli, president, Federation of Nepal Cable TV Operators. He said since the cable operators had not found anything objectionable in the first episode, the 7 pm repeat telecast of the programme on Sunday evening had been aired. "We've been in touch with Zee TV and will seek details of the content before airing future episodes," Parajuli said.Bedi had later corrected himself through this Twitter account, saying: "Yes, my friend; I mis-spoke. Forgive me! Lord Buddha was certainly born in Lumbini, Nepal! My apologies to all whose feelings were hurt."
Cable operators in Nepal fear a backlash like the one in 2000 when four people were killed when protesters went on the rampage against Indian and other businesses after a news report wrongly claimed Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan had said he did not like Nepalese people.Last year 'Time' magazine columnist Fareed Zakaria had had to issue a clarification when he, too, said the Buddha was born in India. Zakaria later said the country called Nepal did not exist when the Buddha was born and he had meant a geographical India rather than a political one.
Earlier this year a television channel had launched a campaign to collect one million signatures asserting the Buddha was born in Nepal. The birthplace of the Buddha was apparently rediscovered and identified in Lumbini in southern Nepal in 1896 by archaeologist P C Mukherjee of the Archaeological Survey of India. Archaeologists believe the Lumbini civilisation was part of the Nareh culture of middle Ganga plain centred around Allahabad.

भारतीय संस्कृति में रचे बसे जनजाति विषयक लोक गीत गाहे बगाहे हिन्दी फिल्मो के रुपहले परदे पर देखने को मिल जाता है । उसी कड़ी में कई साल पहले, तकरीबन 44 साल पहले आई " तलाश' नाम की फिल्म में एक गीत बेहद लोकप्रिय हुआ था। इस गीत के बोल थे "जुनेली रात मा" और इस गीत को लता मंगेशकर और मोहम्मद रफ़ी ने अपनी आवाजें दी थी। जब इस गीत को मैंने ( अपनी आदत के अनुसार में दिन में कुछेक मिनट रेडियो ट्यून करके सुन ही लेता हूँ ) सुना तो पाया कि इस गीत के बोल नेपाली भाषा में है , तो मुझे सहज इस गीत के ऊपर और अधिक जान्ने की जिज्ञासा हुई सो श्रीमान गूगल के दरबार में पहुंचा तो उन्होंने सूचना दी कि यह गीत विख्यात गीतकार मजरूह सुलतानपुरी और संगीतकार सचिन देव बर्मन की रचना है । इतना जानने के बाद मैंने फिर यूट्यूब में जाकर इस गीत के वीडियो को देखा तो लगभग सकपका के रह गया ।
हुआ दरअसल ऐसा कि जो गीत मैंने अब तक सुना तो उसे देखकर एक गंभीर समस्या "पहचान" की ओर बरबस ध्यान चला गया । इस गाने में नेपाली गीत का इस्तेमाल आदिवासियों के पारंपरिक गीत लोकगीत के रूप में हुआ है, जो बेहद आपत्तिजनक है । भारत में रहने वाले भारतीय मूल के गोरखाओ का अपना वजूद रहा है और इन्होने कभी भी घूमंतू और कबिलेनुमा जीवन को व्यतीत नहीं किया है। नेपाली भाषा के प्रयोग की मैं सराहना करता हूँ और साथ ही इस फिल्म में जो कुछ बताया और दिखाया गया , उससे मैं इत्तेफाक नहीं रखता
लेकिन लता जी मंगेशकर की आवाज़ में मधुर संगीत में नेपाली परिवेश का सम्मान करना है।

Veteran Hindi Movie Actor Prakash Thapa acting opposite Mala Sinha in famous hindi movie named " Holi Aaee Re" in 1970. Prakash Thapa was in Jeetendra, Rajshree starrer Suhaag Raat, Jeetendra, Babita starrer Farz too. I still remember the scene of Holi Aayee Re and if I am not mistaken, in Sanjay Khan, Sharmila Tagore starrer Milan Ki Raat too. Prakash Thapa is the youngest brother of BS Thapa...who produced some Hit Hindi films...during mid 1970s and early 1980s. Sunil Dutt starrer Hindi movie Himalaya Se Ooncha directed by B.S.Thapa. He also directed Mala Sinha, C.P.Lohani starrer Maiti Ghar. Though I am not sure but I might have read somewhere long back that B.S.Thapa hails from Dehradoon. Prakash Thapa's base is Kathmandu I think. I have watched Man Ko Baandh and Kanyadaan directed by Prakash Thapa. If B.S.Thapa and Prakash Thapa are brothers, it is a news for me. Are you sure? - Padam Chhetry Meri Tamannaon Ki Taqdir Song in "Holi Aayee Re"

आदिगायक सेतुराम प्रधान संवत् १९४० सालमा काठमाडौँको असन, कमलाक्षीमा जन्मेका थिए । कृष्णधर र हरिदेवीका तीन सन्तानमध्ये सेतुराम कान्छा थिए । सेतुराम सानैमा 'हुने बिरुवाको चिल्लो पात' देखिन्थे । सेतुराम बाल्यकालदेखि नै गीत गुनगुनाउने गर्थे । उनी आफ्ना बाबु कृष्णधरको पछि लागेर कहीँ कतै पुग्दा हार्मोनियम भेटे भने त्यहीँ पनि पलेँटी कसेर बजाउन थालिहाल्थे र आफूलाई गीतमा डुबाउँथे । सेतुराम प्रधानको घरपरिवार नै सङ्गीतमय थियो । त्यस घरमा जोकोही पुगे पनि सङ्गीतको पारख गरेर मात्र र्फकने गथ्यो । सेतुरामका दाजु कृष्णदासलगायत घरपरिवारका प्रायः सबै सदस्य सङ्गीतमा झुकाउ राख्थे । त्यसै गरी सेतुरामकी दिदी राममाया पनि गायनमा रुचि राख्थिन् । सेतुरामचाहिँ गायनकलामा बाल्यकालदेखि नै मन, वचन र कर्मले समर्पित थिए । कृष्णधरले आफ्ना छोराको गायनयात्राका लागि प्रशिक्षकलगायत आवश्यक सामग्री पनि जुटाइदिएका थिए । त्यतिखेर पढ्न-लेख्नभन्दा गीत गाउनैमा सेतुराम चाख राख्थे । उनले पढ्न पनि जानेका थिए । पढाइचाहिँ उनको स्वाध्ययन थियो । उनी स्कुले शिक्षाका नभएर वैयक्तिक ज्ञानका उपज थिए । उनी सबैसँग मिलेरै कुरा गर्थे, मिलेरै व्यवहार गर्थे र मिलेरै आफ्नो कामधन्दा गर्थे । मिलनसारिता उनको गुण थियो ।
सेतुरामले आफ्ना बुबाआमा, दाजु र दिदीहरूबाट गीत गाउन प्रोत्साहन पाए । वास्तवमा त्यस बेला एकोहोरो सङ्गीतमा लाग्ने मान्छे समाजका लागि इज्जतदार हुँदैनथ्यो । तैपनि सेतुरामले चाहिँ त्यस क्षेत्रमा पनि राम्रो सम्मान पाए । सेतुराम आठ-नौ वर्षकै उमेरमा काठमाडौँ उपत्यकामा गीतगायनका जुनसुकै कार्यक्रममा पुग्थे । उनी गीत गाउन पुगेका जुनसुकै टोलमा मान्छेको घुइँचो लाग्थ्यो । सेतुराम सानोमा गोर्हो अनुहारका थिए । सेता भएकैले उनलाई सेतुराम भन्ने गरिएको थियो । किशोरावस्थाले डाँडो काट्ता-नकाट्तै सेतुराम हेर्दा खाइलाग्दा देखिन्थे । साथै उनी बोल्दा सबै मक्ख पर्थे । त्यति मात्र होइन, उनको रहनसहन, लगाइखवाइ, बोलीचाली, हिँडाइडुलाइ पनि आकर्षक देखिन्थ्यो । उनी मध्यमवर्गीय परिवारका थिए उनका अविभावकको पेसा भाँडाकुँडाको व्यापार थियो ।
सांगीतिक सुरुवात
सेतुराम नेपाली आधुनिक गीतका आदिगायक हुन् । उनले संवत् १९६५ सालमा नै गीत गाएर नेपाली साङ्गीतिक आकाशमा नेपाली भाषाको गीत रिकर्डिङ गर्ने पहिलो गायक हुने सौभाग्य पाए । गीत गाउने क्रममा उनले सुरुमै राष्ट्रिय विभूति मोतीराम भट्टद्वारा लिखित 'यता हेर्यो यतै मेरा नजर्मा राम प्यारा छन्' बोलको गजल गाए । यस गीतको धून पनि उनैले दिएका थिए । उनी गजलमा जसरी लहसिएका थिए लोकपाराका झ्याउरे गीतमा पनि उनी त्यत्तिकै टाँस्सिएका थिए । उनको गायनकलाको त्यति बेला जनस्तरका साथै राणाका दरबारमा पनि धूमधामै प्रशंसा हुने गथ्र्यो । त्यही कारणले उनी जागिरेका रुपमा बबरमहल पनि प्रवेश गरेका थिए । सेतुराम साहू जनकलाल श्रेष्ठको सौजन्यमा कोलकाता पुगेका थिए । त्यतिखेर जनकलाल श्रेष्ठचाहिँ भद्रकाली हाउसको स्थापना गरेर ग्रामोफोनको चक्का बेच्ने नेपालका मुख्य बिक्रेता थिए । उनी व्यापारी भएर पनि अर्काको हितमा आफ्नो व्यापारलाई पनि जोड्ने गर्थे । त्यसैले उनले करबल गरेर चेपचाप गरेर र विभिन्न प्रलोभन देखाएर सेतुरामलाई गीत रिकर्डिङ गर्नका लागि संवत् १९६५ मा कोलकाता पुर्याएका थिए । कोलकाता पुर्याएर जनकलाल श्रेष्ठले जोनोफोन रिकर्डको लेबलमा भद्रकाली हाउस उल्लेख गरी सेतुरामका स्वरमा मात्र सातवटा रिकर्ड गराएका थिए । ती सातवटा रिकर्ड मा चौधवटा गीत भरिएका थिए ।
सेतुरामका गीतले हलचल पैदा गर्दा उनीप्रति राणासरकारको कान पनि ठाडो भएको थियो । त्यसैले उनले चाँडै राणादरबारमा प्रवेश पाएका पनि थिए । सेतुरामका ओजपूर्णका गीत स्वयम् मा आकर्षक थिए तापनि उनी गीतगायनका इतिहासपुरुष मानिन्छन् । सुवी शाहका शब्दमा भन्ने हो भने "सङ्गीत क्षेत्रमा सेतुरामले नेपाली गीतमा नयाँ आयाम थपेर नेपाली कलाकारको प्रतिष्ठा बढाइसकेको देखिन्छ ।" वास्तवमा सेतुरामले त्यस युगमा पनि निर्धक्क गीत गाएर नेपाली साङ्गीतिक आकाशमा नयाँ आयाम थपेका थिए । उनी पहिलो गायक मात्र होइन पहिलो आधुनिक झ्याउरे गीत गाउने हिसाबमा पनि नेपाली संसारमा सर्वाधिक चर्चित भए:- "ए आमा सानीमा फूलको थुँगो खस्यो पानीमा !" करियामोचनपछि चन्द्रशमशेरलाई सर्काएर सेतुरामले गीत गाएका थिए । त्यो गीत त्यति बेला पनि ग्रामोफोनमार्फत चारै तिर बजाउने गरिन्थ्यो ।
सेतुरामको मध्यमकाल
सेतुरामले आफूले प्रेम गरेका सुन्दरीहरुमध्ये केहीसँग बिहे गरे । उनका औपचारिक लगनगाँठो कस्सिएका चाहिँ चार श्रीमती थिए । तीमध्ये जेठी श्रीमतीबाट रामबहादुर प्रधानको जन्म भएको थियो । रामबहादुर पनि उस्ताद थिए । माइली श्रीमतीबाट केदार प्रधान र साइँला प्रधान जन्मेका थिए । यी दुई भाइ पनि गायनमा रुचि राख्थे । केदार प्रधान र साइँला प्रधान किशोरावस्थामा नै स्वर्गीय भए । सेतुरामकी साहिँली पत्नीबाट सन्तान जन्मेका थिएनन् । सेतुरामले सुकुनानी श्रेष्ठलाई प्रेम गरी चौथी श्रीमतीका रुपमा आफ्नो घर भित्र्याएका थिए । सुकुनानी प्रधानबाट पाँच भाइ छोरा र चार बहिनी छोरीहरु मिठाइदेवी मेवादेवी मिस्रीदेवी र नारायणदेवी जन्मे । पाँचभाइ छोराहरुमध्ये चार भाइचाहिँ बालककालमा नै दिवङ्गत भए । उनका छोराहरुमध्ये बद्रीप्रसाद प्रधान मात्रै बाँचे । बद्रीप्रसाद प्रधान र तीन छोरीको चाहिँ घरबार पनि भयो । सेतुरामले नेपाली भाषाका सोरवटा गीत रिकर्डमा नै स्वराङ्कन गराएको पाइएको छ । तीमध्ये उनले गजल भजन झ्याउरे आदि गीत गाएका थिए । त्यस समयमा उनले १२ वटा नेवारी गीत पनि गाएका थिए । उनका गीतहरु जति स्वच्छन्दताले भरिएका हुन्थे त्यति नै मर्म स्पर्शी पनि हुन्थे । गीत गाउँदाचाहिँ उनी रोमान्टिक शब्द नै बढी रोज्ने गर्थे । त्यसैले पनि होला उनको गायनका विशेषतालाई लिएर चारै तिर हल्ला मच्चिने गथ्र्यो । वास्तवमा त्यतिखेर सेतुरामको स्वर भएको ग्रामोफोनका चक्का घुमाई फिराई धेरैले सुन्ने गर्थे । त्यतिले नपुगेर सेतुरामका गीत माइकमा राखेर पनि घन्काउने गरिन्थ्यो ।
सेतुराम सौखिन गायक थिए । उनी आफ्नो आत्मसन्तुष्टिका लागि मात्र गीत गाउँथे । उनको स्वरको मातमा परेर नै साहू जनकलाल श्रेष्ठले उनको ग्रामोफोन रिकर्ड बनाइदिएका थिए । हुन त सेतुरामले जीविकोपार्जनका लागि गीत गाउने लक्ष्य नै राखेनन् । यति हुँदाहुँदै पनि उनका गीतका चक्काहरु निकै बिक्री हुन्थे । त्यतिखेर नेपाली भाषाका गीतका चक्का पाउन नै गारो थियो । त्यसैले उनका स्वरहरुले सजिएको ग्रामोफोन नेपाल भित्रिएपछि उनको ख्याति चम्केको थियो । त्यस बेला नेवारी गीतको रेकर्ड गरेकाले सेतुराम काठमाडौँ उपत्यकाको नेवार समुदायमा सबैका मन परेका गायक भएका थिए । 'राजामति कुमति' भन्ने गीतको स्वराङ्कनपछि काठमाडौँ सहरमा उनी धेरैका हाई हाई भए । उनी गीत गाउँदा नाच्ने पनि गर्थे । ठट्टा गरीगरी नाच्ने र गाउने कलामा उनले ख्याति कमाएका थिए । सेतुरामभन्दा पहिला नेपाली गीत रिकर्ड गर्ने कोही पनि नेपाली गायक थिएनन् । उनी नेपाली भाषा र संस्कृतिलाई स्वरका माध्यमबाट देशविदेशमा पुर्याउने प्रथम साधक थिए । वास्तवमा उनी नेपाली सङ्गीतका महेश्वर थिए ।
आदिगायकको अन्त्य
सेतुराम गीत गाउँदागाउँदै बिरामी भए । उनको जिब्रोमा घाउ भएका कारण उनी १९९७ सालदेखि नै थला परेका थिए । त्यही रोगले नै उनी स्वर्गीय भए । उनको भौतिक चोला संवत् १९९८ साल चैत मसान्तमा समाप्त भयो । सेतुराम स्वर्गीय गए तापनि उनको देन नेपाली धर्तीमा अटल छ । उनी नेपाली भावनाको धुकधुकीमा सधैँ बाँचिरहेका छन् नाचिरहेका छन् र बोलिरहेका छन् : "झल्झली मैयाँ पातली बोलाउँदा बोल्दिनौ ।"

नेपाली आधुनिक गीतको श्रृङ्खलामा मेलवादेवी गुरुङ प्रथम नारी गायिका हुन् । उनले १९८५ सालमा भारतको कोलकाताको ‘हिज मास्टर भ्वाइस कम्पनी’मा ‘सवारी मेरो रेलैमा’ बोलका गीत रिकर्डिङ गराएकी थिइन् । उनी आफैँ गीत लेख्तै, धून बनाउँदै गाउने प्रथम नेपाली गायिका थिइन्। ज्ञानबहादुर लामिछाने गुरुङ र सप्तदेवी गुरुङकी जेठी छोरीका रूपमा मेलवादेवीको जन्म १९५६ सालमा भएको थियो । उनी ओखलढुङ्गास्थित रुम्जाटारको काफलबोट गाउँमा जन्मेकी थिइन् । हाल त्यही ठाउँमा उनको स्मारक रहेको छ । मेलवादेवीले पाँच वर्षदेखि नै गीत गाएर गाउँलेलाई छक्कै पारेकी थिइन् । त्यसैले उनलाई राणाका दरबारमा गायिकाका रुपमा भर्ना गर्न उनकी आमा सप्तदेवी गुरुङ र दिदी बलमाया गुरुङ १९६५ सालतिर काठमाडौँ पसेका थिए । चन्द्रशमशेरका दरबारमा दाखिला भएपछि मेलवादेवीको औपचारिक साङ्गीतिक इतिहास आरम्भ भएको थियो ।
मेलवादेवीले श्री ३ चन्द्रशमशेरको दरबारमा गीत गाउन थालिन् । उनी दरबारको रङ्गमञ्च, सभासमारोहका अतिरिक्त चन्द्रशमशेरसँगै सिकारमा जङ्गल पुगेर समेत गीत गाउँथिन् । चन्द्रशमशेर पनि मेलवादेवीको स्वरका भक्त थिए । चन्द्रशमशेरले मात्र होइन उनकी रानी बालकुमारीदेवीबाट पनि सुरुसुरुमा मेलवादेवीले बक्सिस पाइरहिन् । मेलवादेवीको कोकिल स्वरलाई विराट् स्वरूप प्रदान गर्न चन्द्रशमशेर मग्न थिए । त्यसैले मेलवादेवीलाई ख्यातिप्राप्त उस्ताद बालाप्रसाद शर्मा, गणपत, खेमचन्द्रआदिबाट शास्त्रीय सङ्गीतको गायनमा पनि तालिम दिन थालियो । त्यसपछि उनी झन् उत्कृष्ट स्वरकी कोइलीमा दर्ता हुन थालिन् ।
मेलवादेवीको स्वरले प्रकृतिलाई पनि पगाल्ने गथ्र्यो । उनको स्वरको विषयमा उनकी छोरी विमला दीक्षतिले भनेकी थिइन् ”मेरी आमाको स्वरमा महाराज चन्द्रशमशेरका साइँला छोरा हिजहाइनेस केशरशमशेर पनि भुतुक्कै हुन्थे । त्यसैले एक दिन टन्टलापुर घाम लागेको बेला केशरशमशेरले आमालाई भने ‘अब यस्तो बेलामा गीत गाएर तिमी पानी पार्न सक्छयौ -’ त्यस बेला आमाको प्रत्युत्तर थियो ‘पानी कति मात्रामा पर्छ म त्यो भन्न सक्तिनँ । तर आकाशमा बादल आउँछ र पानी पर्छ म यति भन्न सक्छु ।’ अनि केशरशमशेरले आमासँग बाजी राख्तै भने ‘लौ तिमीले भनेको कुरा पुग्यो भने म तिमीलाई पाँच हजार रुपियाँ दिन्छु ।’ आमाले डेढ घण्टा गीत गाएपछि आकाशमा क्रमशः बादल लाग्यो र पानी पर्न थाल्यो । अनि केशरशमशेरले स्याबास भन्दै आमालाई पाँच हजार रुपियाँ बक्सिस दिए ।”
चन्द्रशमशेरका पाहुनापासा आउँदा पनि सिंहदरबार बेलायती बैठकमा झकिझकाउका साथ मेलवादेवीलाई उपस्थित गराइन्थ्यो । त्यतिखेर मेलवादेवी अतिथिको रुचिअनुसार शास्त्रीय, आधुनिक, भजन, लोकगीत र नेवारी गीत समेत गाउने गर्थिन् । उनको स्वर सुनेर चन्द्रशमशेरले बराबर उनलाई धाप मार्थे । त्यसैले मेलवादेवीको ईर्ष्यागर्नेहरूको ताँतीले पनि सिंहदरबार बेरिएको थियो । त्यसपछि उनको स्वरलाई विगार्न चन्द्रशमशेरकी रानी बालकुमारीदेवीका इसारामा मेलावादेवीका शत्रुहरूद्वारा पानमा सिन्दूर राखेर उनलाई खुवाइएको थियो । त्यसपछि उनको स्वर एक्कासि खच्क्यो । त्यस बेहोराले चन्द्रशमशेर अति नै दुखित भए ।
चन्द्रशमशेरले मेलवादेवीको स्वरको उपचार गर्न बेलायतबाट चिकित्सक बोलाए । तर जति नै खर्च गरे तापनि उनको स्वर पहिलाजस्तै हुन सकेन । तर पनि चन्द्रशमशेरले उनको स्वरको तारिफ गर्न छाडेनन् । मेलवादेवीको स्वर सुक्न थालेपछि पनि चन्द्रशमशेर भन्ने गर्थे “गा न गा, मलाई तेरो यही सुकेको आवाज नै मन पर्छ ।” चन्द्रशमशेरकी मन पर्ने गायिका भएका कारण सिंहदरबारमा मेलवादेवीको औपचारिक सुरक्षाचाहिँ देखिन्थ्यो । त्यस बेला उनलाई खास गरेर पुरुषवर्गले प्रत्यक्ष सम्पर्क गर्नु, प्रेम गर्नु र स्नेह देखाउनु भनेको बाघसँग कुस्ती खेल्नुसरह मानिन्थ्यो । यति हुँदाहुँदै पनि चन्द्रशमशेरका छोरा बबरशमशेरचाहिँ मेलवादेवीप्रति प्रायः आक्रामक देखिन्थे । साथै तबलावादक भक्तकृष्ण मानन्धर पनि मेलवादेवीको कला, रूप, यौवन र धनसम्पत्रि्रति त्यति नै आसक्त थिए ।
मेलवादेवी र चन्द्रशमशेर एकअर्कामा समर्पित भएको दृश्य हेर्न चन्द्रशमशेरकी रानी बालकुमारीदेवीलाई अति नै सकस पर्न थालेको थियो । त्यही परिवेशमा दरबारबाट मेलवादेवीको टिकट काटिन गयो । त्यसै सर्न्दर्भमा चन्द्रशमशेरले उनलाई काठमाडौँको विजयेश्वरीमा एउटा घर किनिदिए । त्यसपछि चौबीस वर्षभुक्तान भएको उमेर बोकेर उनी सिंहदरबारबाट निस्केकी थिइन् । यस घटनाले भक्तकृष्ण मानन्धरलाई ढुङ्गा खोज्दा देउता मिलेझैँ भएको थियो । त्यसैले त्यतिखेर उनका पछिपछि उस्ताद मानन्धर लागेका थिए । मानन्धरले कैयौँ सपनाविपना देखाएर मेलवादेवीलाई दक्षिणकालीको मन्दिरमा लगेर सिन्दूरपोते र चुरा धागोले सजाएका थिए ।
भक्तकृष्णले पहिला पनि दुई जनासँग बिहे गरेर सन्तान जन्माएका थिए । साथै मेलवादेवीतर्फाट पनि दुईटी छोरी विमला र शान्ति जन्मेका थिए । मेलवादेवीसँगको बिहेपछि भक्तकृष्णलाई सिंहदरबार छिर्न बन्देज लगाइयो।साथै गुरुङसँगको बैबाहिक जीवन गाँसेको कसुरमा त्यस बेला उनी आफ्नो जातीय समाजबाट पनि बहिष्कृत भएका थिए । भक्तकृष्णसँग बिहे गरेको केही वर्षा मेलवादेवीको दाम्पत्य जीवन भङ्ग भयो । अनि उनले आफ्नो घरबार सस्तैमा बेचिन् र शुक्रराज शास्त्रीको सल्लाहमा कोलकाता जाने निर्णय गरिन् । सुत्केरी भएकै महिनादिनपछि उनी आफ्ना दुईनावालक छोरी विमला र शान्ति चेपेर रेलमार्गद्वारा कोलकाता लागिन् । कोलकाता पुगेपछि यात्राको अनुभव सँगालेर उनले ‘सवारी मेरो रेलैमा’ बोलको गीत गाइन् । त्यस बेलासम्म नेपालीभाषामा नेपाली नारीको स्वर रिकर्डिङ भएको थिएन ।
मेलवादेवीको कोलकातामा स्वच्छन्दतावादी यात्रा थियो । त्यतिखेर उनका खुट्टा रोक्ने न कुनै कल्ली थिए न उनका हात बाँध्ने नै कुनै बाईं थिए । त्यसैले उनी साङ्गीतिक कार्यक्रमहरूमा प्रवेश गरिरहन्थिन् । उनी घरी इलाहाबाद सङ्गीत सम्मेलनमा पुगिरहन्थिन् र घरी रामगढ सङ्गीत सम्मेलनमा भाग लिइरहन्थिन् । उनी जहाँजहाँ गएर आफ्नो गलाको कौशल देखाउँथिन् त्यहाँत्यहाँबाट उनले सुनका तक्मा पनि प्राप्त गर्थिन् । त्यति मात्र होइन इलाहाबाद सङ्गीत सम्मेलनले त उनलाई ‘ठुमरीकी रानी’को दर्जा पनि अर्पित गरेको थियो ।
मेलवादेवीले जीवनको उत्तर्रार्धमा आफ्नो नाउँ सुलभा राखिन् । खासमा त्यतिखेर आर्थिक रूपमा उनी निम्नस्तरमा नै बामे र्सर्दै थिइन् । आफ्नो जीविकोपार्जनका साथै छोरीहरूको पालनपोषणका निम्ति कोलकाताकै मारवाडी बालिका विद्यालयमा उनी सङ्गीतकी गुरुमा बनिन् । साथै त्यहीं स्कुलमा उनका छोरीहरु पनि भर्ना गरिए । त्यस घडी त्यहाँको मात्र आयस्ताले उपलब्धि हुन नसक्ता उनले आफ्ना कोठामा सङ्गीतको कक्षा पनि सञ्चालन गरिन् । आफ्ना शिष्यहरूलाई अध्यापन गराउन नेपाली, हिन्दी र बङ्गाली भाषामा उनी बराबरी नै गीत गाइरहन्थिन् । दुक्खसुक्ख जीवन भुक्तान गर्दै उनले दुवै छोरीहरूको विवाह पनि गरिदिइन् ।
छोरीहरुको बिहे गरेपछि मेलवादेवी डेरामा एक्लै बसिन् । उनले पहिलेझै एउटै कोठामा खाने र सुत्ने गरिन् । त्यतिखेर उनी विक्षिप्त मानसिक अवस्थामा नै घस्रँदै जीवन चलाउने गर्थिन् । २०१२ साल मङ्सिर महिनाको कुरा हो- खाना पकाइरहेका बेला स्टोभ पड्केर उनको शरीरमा आगो लाग्यो । त्यसको भोलिपल्ट छिमेकीले कोठाभित्रै उनको डढेको शरीर फेला पारे । अनि कोलकाता मेडिकल कलेजमा उनको लासको पोस्टमार्टम भयो । त्यसको केही दिनपछि उनका धर्मपुत्र रामचन्द्र गुप्ताले त्यो लास बुझे । यो दुःखद घटनाको विवरण उनका छोरीहरू विमला दीक्षित र शान्तिरानी आर्यले पनि पछि मात्र थाहा पाए ।
सवारी मेरो रेलैमा.....
सानु र सानु लैलै कुसुमे रुमाल बरिलै
ज्यान तिमीले पायौ कि बरिलै
झन् पर जान्छु लैलै झन् माया लाग्छ बरिलै
मोहनी लायौ कि बरिलै
सवारी मेरो रेलैमा !..
(स्वर, सङ्गीत र शब्द : मेलवादेवी)

Mumbai : Bollywood actress Nafisa alias Jiah Khan, who was seen opposite Amitabh Bachchan in ‘Nishabd’, committed suicide at her residence in Mumbai’s Juhu area, police said Tuesday. She was 25. The Britain-born actress was found hanging at her flat in Sagar Sangeet Building in the posh Juhu area of northwest Mumbai around midnight. The cause of the suicide is not yet clear, police said, adding that autopsy reports were awaited. The body of the actress was taken to the Cooper Hospital in Vile Parle Monday night and later shifted to J.J. Hospital in Byculla. ‘The body was brought here last night.
It has now been taken to the J.J. Hospital,’ a source from the Cooper Hospital told IANS. However, he didn’t reveal why the body was moved. Police are questioning her domestic help, security personnel and neighbours to ascertain what could have triggered the extreme step. News of her death was first reported by actress Dia Mirza through a social networking site around 1.45 a.m. Jiah shot into the limelight in 2007 with Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Nishabd’ in which she plays a teenager besotted with a man old enough to be her father. She got a Filmfare Best Debutant nomination for the role. ‘Shocked and choked to hear about Jiah,’ Varma tweeted after hearing the news. ‘Never seen a debutant actress with more spunk and more spirit than Jiah when I was directing her in Nishabd,’ the director said in another tweet.
In 2008, she was seen along with Aamir Khan and Asin in the blockbuster ‘Ghajini’, a remake of A.R. Murugadoss’s Tamil film by the same title. She was last seen in Sajid Khan’s ‘Housefull’ with Akshay Kumar, Reiteish Deshmukh, Deepika Padukone and Lara Dutta. She was born Nafisa and changed her name to Jiah before going back to her birth name. Her mother is Rabiya Amin, an actress in the 1980s who was seen in the Tahir Hussain movie ‘Dulha Bikta Hai’.

Kolkata: Multiple National Award winner Rituparno Ghosh passed away in his Kolkata residence Thursday morning. The filmmaker suffered a massive cardiac arrest. He was 49. Ghosh was suffering from pancreatitis, his colleague Gautam Ghosh said. Shocked colleagues and friends gathered at the home of the much awarded filmmaker as news of the death spread. Ghosh made 19 films and won 12 National Awards. He began his film career with 'Hirer Angti' (The diamond ring) in 1994. He made ‘Unishe April’ in the same year that went on to win the National Film Award for Best Feature Film. Ghosh is credited for helming critically acclaimed and National award-winning films like ‘Dahan’, ‘Utsab’, ‘Dosor’, ‘The Last Lear’,’Shob Charitro Kalponik’ and ‘Abohoman’.
The very talented filmmaker had teamed up with Aishwarya Rai for ‘Chokher Bali’ and ‘Raincoat’. ‘Chokher Bali’ that also starred Prosenjit and Raima Sen won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Bengali while ‘Raincoat’ featuring Ajay Devgn won National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi. In September last year, Ghosh had expressed his take on India’s official entry to the Oscars. He lamented how regional cinema, including his own, was ignored for such honours. Ghosh was adjudged the `big director of decade` by the public in the `Big Bangla Movie Awards 2010`. Thanking the audience for the award at a programme, Ghosh said he was touched to hear that the choice was unanimous. Rituparno lived his life on his terms and was frank about his sexual orientation.
He had won the Special Jury award at the National Film Awards for ‘Chitrangada’, a film based on the story of Chitrangada from the Mahabharat, who struggles with his sexual identity. While accepting the award, he said, "This award has been given to non-conventional sexuality. People in India had started accepting it at their individual level but this award to the subject is from the government's side. So it is a signal that they are accepting it." The two biggest artistic and cultural influences on him came from Rabindranath Tagore, who has been an abiding influence on all Bengalis and whose transitions from the male into the female voice have never struck a discordant note, and Satyajit Ray."If somebody had influenced me to become a filmmaker, it was Ray.
He set a masculine prototype for film directors. People were proud of his height and his English. People (like me) who wear danglers and kajol to parties (were regarded) as an insult to Ray," Ghosh said in an interview. Talking exclusively to Zee Media, veteran filmmaker Shyam Benegal said, “Rituparno followed the legacy initiated by stalwarts like Satyajit Ray and Mrinal Sen. He had a high sense of aesthetic and had a great ability of tell stories and handle actors. There is hardly any flaw in his kind of filmmaking. His passing away is a huge loss to the film industry.” Rituparno was working on 'Satyanweshi', a film on Byomkesh Bakshi. May his soul rest in peace.

Bringing three cinematic legends together in one frame looked difficult but Filmfare made it possible to commemorate the centenary celebrations of the film industry this year. From conducting special Award shows to paying tribute to the gone by 100 years of Bollywood in their own ways, most mediums have tried their hand at cooking up something brand new and innovative under their header. But no one could match up to the panache and grandeur that Filmfare managed to with the unveiling of the cover of its latest issue. Featuring three cinematic heavyweights of their Eras, Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, all in one frame, Filmfare cover spells Brilliance with a capital B!
Looking daper in suits, the three acting legends have managed to make this Collector’s Special issue an eye-catching yet an amazingly euphoric issue to get hands on to. While Shah Rukh and Big B have shared screen spaces in many films before, it is a first time that we caught Dilip saab, Big B and SRK in such a jovial single frame in the history of cinema, which in turn completes its century this year. From the days of Raja Harishchandra and Alam Ara, the film industry, as a whole has undergone major metamorphosis in terms of content, styling, gravitas and artsy-ness! And three heartthrobs who have managed to pump the nation’s almost billion hearts pump at one-go come together to feature in a single cover. That is reason enough for one to catch hold of this issue as this will span more than a lifetime!
