Between 1950 and 1970, the voices of Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammad Rafi were heard everywhere. His own songs used to run on every radio, their nagas used to echo in every Mahfil, but in the same period there were another singer who had simplicity in his voice, pain and a lot of feelings. His name was Mubarak Begum. Who sang hit songs in many films, but later spent life in oblivion.

After 1970, Mubarak Begum got away from films, but remained their love for music. With increasing age, his health deteriorated and the financial condition of the family also deteriorated. He also had to live with his son, daughter -in -law and granddaughter in a small one -room house in Behram Bagh in Jogeshwari, Mumbai.

At one time, his only income was a pension from his late husband’s job. At the same time, his son Hussain Sheikh used to earn something by working as a driver. While he was looked after by his daughter -in -law Zarina Hussain Sheikh.

At one time, the situation became so bad, Mubarak Begum’s hospital became difficult to bear the expenses, then the family had to ask for help.

Mubarak Begum’s daughter -in -law Zarina told the media that actor Salman Khan was the only person in the Hindi film industry who had been continuously helping the family for a long time. He had spent all the medicines of Mubarak Begum.

In June 2016, the then Minister of Maharashtra government Vinod Tawde also extended his hand for help. Although he could not get the family money under the government scheme, he provided assistance from a trust being run by people close to him, which gave some financial relief to Mubarak. Then he died on 18 July 2016 at the age of 80.
