K. L. Saigal
K. L. Saigal had worked earlier as a railway timekeeper and typewriter salesman. He had done some amateur singing which was more in the form of Bhajans and ghazals which he had mastered on his own.PranNevile, p. 6 On the basis of an impromptu amateur evening he was finally noticed by Pankaj MullickPranNevile, p. 9 and R. C. Boral who took the 26-year-old Saigal to New Theatres. He was introduced to B. N. Sircar who contracted him to star with Akhtari Muradabadi in New Theatres first Urdu talkie Mohabbat Ke Ansu. Saigal used the name Saigal Kashmiri for this and the subsequent two films Zinda Lash (1932) and Subah Ka Sitara (1932) as he didn't want his relatives to find out about his profession.{{cite web|title=The Music Greats K.
