25 SONGS BY MEHDI HASSAN

Mehdi Hassan

By Ustad Ghulam Haider Khan

Another example of his avdenturist personality is to be found in this anecdote: Mehdi was scheduled to receive the PP medal in 1971. But the ceremony was delayed indefinitely by the war. And when, after many years, the bureaucrats in charge of such things realized their blunder, they hastily arranged for the award ceremony. It was 14 years later. Mehdi was an even bigger star. He agreed to take the award but wore his Commander-in-Chief belt to the ceremony, the one given him by the Nepali king, just to show the king here (General Zia in those days) that he was facing no be-taaj baadshah!
