BTS FESTA 2020 has officially commenced. The septet, every year, celebrates their debut anniversary with their fans with "FESTA" which is a festival way of celebrating with unreleased content, music, song covers, dance videos, photos among others. Starting from June 1, BTS has begun the two-week-long Festa with the summer version of their song 'Airplane Pt. 2'.

The song was recorded by the South Korean group for their 2018 album, 'Love Yourself: Tear'. The version was filmed during their Saipan trip when they filmed their summer package. Dancing by the pool, the members - RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook - let loose as they enjoy the perfect weather while dancing along with each other. Their hair colours from that era were so bright and vibrant. We love them seeing vibing and chilling!

Yogesh Gaur passes away, Lata Mangeshkar, Nitin Mukesh pay tribute to the lyricist

We would probably not have known about the death of poet-lyricist Yogesh Gaur had Lata Mangeshkar not tweeted about it. Among the   most articulate lyricists of Hindi cinema, Yogesh was the quietest. Though he formed an immensely productive partnership with composer Salil Chowdhary, and this togetherness yielded one of Hindi cinema’s best songs 'Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye' in Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Anand, Yogesh never got his dues in  the Mumbai industry.

His most enduring and endearing partnership was with director Basu Chatterjee. Yogesh wrote lyrics for Basu Chatterjee’s Rajnigandha,  Choti Si Baat, Manzil, Pasand Apni Apni,  Baaton Baaton Mein, Priyatam, Uss Paar, Laakhon Mein Ek, Apne Paraye, Shaukeen and Jeena Yahan.

Lataji remembers Yogesh’s poetry with great fondness. “Some of my most cherished songs  were written by Yogeshji. He was such a quiet genius. His words were taken from normal conversation and yet so poetic. My songs 'Rajnigandha Phool Tumhare' and 'Na Jaane Kyun' from the films Rajnigandha and Choti Si Baat are  popular to this day. But, there are other lesser known songs that Yogeshji wrote for me that were equally beautiful, like 'Raaton Ke Saaye' in Annadata, 'Madhbhari Yeh Hawayein' in Anokha Daan, 'Tumne Diya Piya' in Uss Paar. These are among my most beautifully written songs. But my favourite lyric by Yogeshji is 'Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye' (sung by Mukesh in Hrishikesh  Mukherjee’s Anand).”

The late Hrishikesh Mukherjee, in whose Mili Yogesh wrote two of his finest songs 'Badi Sooni Sooni Hai Zindagi' and 'Aaye Tum Yaad Mujhe', once told he thought the poet was shortchanged. “Yogesh and I did Anand and Mili together and he wrote so beautifully in both the films. In fact, do you know,  'Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli' was to be played in the background for the opening credits in Anand? It was Rajesh Khanna, who insisted on singing it on screen. He felt we were wasting a beautiful song in  the background. And he was right! I wish I had worked  more with Yogesh. But you know how it is in this industry. One forms  comfortable partnerships and misses the  opportunity to work with some great talent in the process. Madan Mohan is a such a great composer. But I worked only once (in Bawarchi) with him,” said Hrishida regretfully.

Many feel Yogesh’s best lyrics were sung by Mukesh. Not just the immortal 'Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye' (contrary to  popular belief Yogesh did not write the other popular Mukesh number  'Maine Tere Liye' in Anand which was by  Gulzar).

Mukesh’s son Nitin Mukesh certainly feels indebted to Yogesh. “Such a sad loss. Yogeshji was the perfect gentleman and so softspoken. And what an artiste! In all humility, I’d like to mention three of my most favourite songs of papa where the lyrics played the most important part in the overall beauty of the song. These songs were 'Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye' in Anand,  'Kai Baar Yuhi Dekha' in Choti Si Baat and 'Nain Hamare Saanjh Sakare'  in Annadata.”

Nitin Mukesh recalls his father’s fondness for Yogesh and his poetry. “Although Yogeshji  was decades junior to Papa, Papa had great regard for Yogeshji’s work and was always happy to sing his poetry. Amongst the great lyric writers of his times, Yogeshji was considered very special by Papa. In fact, my father won the National award  for 'Kai Baar Yunhi Dekha' which Yogeshji wrote. But if you ask me, my personal favourite song written by this underused poetic genius is 'Nain Hamare Saanjh Sakare' ...Wah!”

Touche.

Irrfan Khan's wife Sutapa Sikdar shares pictures of the actor one month after his demise

Actor Irrfan Khan passed away on April 29 after his prolonged battle with neuroendocrine tumour. The actor was being treated in London for his cancer after which he returned to India to shoot his last film Angrezi Medium. But, even after that, his health seemed to have deteriorated. He breathed his last on April 29 after being admitted to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital.

One month after his death, Irrfan's wife Sutapa Sikdar took to her Facebook account to share some memories of the actor. She wrote, “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.” It’s just a matter of time...milenge baaten karenge.... Till we meet again.”

A few days after his demise, Sutapa had issued a statement on behalf of the family. It read, “How can I write this as a family statement when the whole world is taking it as a personal loss? How can I begin to feel alone when millions are grieving with us at the moment? I want to assure everyone that this is not a loss, it is a gain. It’s a gain of the things he taught us, and now we shall finally begin to truly implement it and evolve. I see my little family, in a boat, with both my sons Babil and Ayaan, paddling it forward, with Irrfan guiding them, ‘wahan nahi, yahan se modo’, but since life is not cinema and there are no retakes, I sincerely wish my children sail this boat safely with their father’s guidance in mind and rockabye through the storm.”

Irrfan Khan was last seen in Homi Adajania's Angrezi Medium that released in March 2020.
