I have spent many joyous moments with Mohd. Shafi Saab during my childhood as he was a very dear friend of my father’s and we would go very often to his house for the wonderful dinner cooked by his wife for all of us and also listen to a lot of good music – at his house, which I vaguely recall was somewhere not far from the Mahim church in Mumbai.
He was also present along with a lot of other legend music composers to wish my parents a long and happy married life at a get together to celebrate their wedding in 1952. Photograph below shows Seated above – Anil Biswas, Lata Mangeshkar, Madan Mohanji and his newly wed wife Sheila, Jaikishan and Shankar. Seated below are C. Ramchandra and Mohd. Shafi.
