ke liye" (Hemant Kumar). It was during the making of this film that the film's distributor Shantibhai Patel christened him "Bawra". Almost half of his songs have been with R.D.Burman. His last release was Zulmi (1999) and his last hit was "Le pappiyaan jhappiyaan paale hum" for Haqeeqat (1995), which landed him in his only controversy - of writing a vulgar song. His films in the '90s include, besides Haqeeqat and Zulmi, Qurbani Rang Jaayegi, Tehkiqaat, Laat Saab, Maidan-E-Jung, Indrajeet and Chor Pe Mor. He died on 7 August 2009 at age 72 at his Pali Hill residence in Mumbai.
