Legendary composer who gave Kishore Kumar a break, once owned 3 luxury cars, died alone; no family members attended his last rites
Agencies OP Nayyar and Kishore Kumar came together for several hit songs. Once, he was one of the most influential composers in Bollywood, making stars dance to his tunes and bringing evergreen chartbusters to life. However, OP Nayyar, the mastermind behind timeless songs such as classic club banger 'Mera Naam Chin Chin Chu' and the soulful and seductive 'Aaiye Mehrban', spent his twilight years in complete isolation and in dire financial straits. According to a DNA report, not one of his family members or anyone from the Bollywood fraternity attended his last rites when he passed away in 2007 following a heart onto the scene in the 1950s as a confident, young refugee from Lahore, Nayyar challenged the titans of his day—Anil Biswas, Naushad Ali, Shankar-Jaikishan, S.D. Burman, and C. Ramchandra—and emerged as one of the most successful and highest-paid music directors in Bollywood. As per a Hindustan Times report, despite lacking formal training in classical music, Nayyar composed songs deeply rooted in Indian ragas, like Chhota Sa Balama in Raag Tilang and the entire Phagun soundtrack in Raag Pilu. As the golden era faded, so did Nayyar's prominence in the industry. By the late 1970s, personal and professional setbacks started taking their toll. He distanced himself from his family in 1979, and although he returned briefly, he permanently separated from them in 1989. A After spending some time with singer Madhuri Joglekar in Virar, Nayyar moved in with the Nakhwa family in Thane as a paying guest. According to Indian Express, he had chosen a life of quiet withdrawal, asking to remain disconnected from both his biological family and the glamorous film world that once idolised him. Rani Nakhwa, who came to know him through a small telephone booth where she worked, had no idea of his celebrity status when they first met. She offered him a room in her modest one-bedroom home. Over time, the bond deepened. He became a father figure to her, and she affectionately referred to him as Babujee. He, in turn, called her Raju, having disliked her real name. In his final years, he preferred the company of these ordinary yet kind-hearted people, choosing familial warmth over material an interview with , Nakhwa said, "He lived like a king here. He liked having a beer in the afternoon and had his staple of two pegs of scotch in the evenings."When O.P. Nayyar passed away in January 2007 due to a heart attack, the music world lost one of its most influential voices. However, in accordance with his wishes, none of his family members or anyone from the film industry was informed. His funeral was attended only by the Nakhwa family, who had become his closest companions in his final chapter. Reminiscing about his death, Nakhwa told , "He had told us not to inform his family of his death. We performed his last rites.' Nayyar's artistic contributions remain unmatched. Though his debut film, Asman, was unsuccessful, his big break came with Aar Paar in 1954 under Guru Dutt's guidance. With a revolutionary blend of Indian rhythmic patterns and Western instrumentation like saxophone, clarinet, and sarangi, as highlighted by the Hindustan Times , Nayyar transformed the soundscape of Hindi cinema. He once owned three luxury cars and hosted lavish parties at his music room in Kemp's Corner, but his final years were marked by simplicity, detachment, and emotional depth—mirroring the very soul of his compositions, the HT report revealed. He introduced and championed major voices like Asha Bhosle and Kishore Kumar. He worked with Kumar on several successful songs, including those in films like 'Baap Re Baap' (1955) and 'Ragini' (1958).

‘After AUS, Shubman Gill made batting changes': IND coach spills details, says ‘Rishabh Pant makes…'
Shubman Gill justified the BCCI's decision to appoint him as the new red-ball captain, smacking a dominant ton in the ongoing India vs England first Test match in Leeds. Gill slammed 147 runs off 227 balls, at an average of 64.76. Meanwhile, his knock also consisted of 19 fours and a maximum. It wasn't just Gill who got a ton, as vice-captain Rishabh Pant (134) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (101) also bagged centuries, taking India to 471. India's Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill are in good form.(Action Images via Reuters) Speaking after Day 2, India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak analysed Gill's batting and pointed out that the GT star has implemented changes. Gill fell victim to criticism during the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where India were defeated. He only got 93 runs at an average of 18.60 in five innings. Meanwhile in the ongoing series, he crossed that in the first innings of the first Test itself. Kotak revealed, 'After Australia (tour) he has thought (about) certain things which he implemented. Because after (the) Australia (tour) and England series (followed by) Champions Trophy and then we had IPL, I wouldn't say that I had a lot of time to do things (with Gill). But obviously, he worked on certain things and as soon as I saw him in the nets, I did speak to him that 'you made certain changes' and he said yes. A lot of credit to him for analysing what he needs to do and I think he did it really well.' Kotak was also impressed with Pant's entertaining action-packed display, and also accepted that he didn't have anything to do with the performance. 'Rishabh Pant is someone who makes his own plans. He decides (the way) and (then) he bats. This innings was a little different than you would see him normally but honestly that is all his plans. The way he wanted to approach it and when he wanted to attack, he did (and just) because he plays aggressive (cricket) does not mean he cannot play defensive,' he said. But India also have plenty to improve on, when it comes to their middle order and tailenders. The visitors lost their last seven wickets for only 41 runs. Addressing the issue, he said, 'It was a bit of a collapse, I would say, because batsmen were also there. From 430 for three to 471 all out, batsmen also got out in it, isn't it? So, it wasn't only the last five; it was a bit of a collapse. We were expecting better than that, but it can happen.' In response to India's first innings total, England got to 209/3 at Stumps on Day 2. Jasprit Bumrah struck thrice, getting openers Zak Crawley (4), Ben Duckett (62) and Joe Root (28). But Duckett's contribution proved to be key for the hosts and Ollie Pope remained unbeaten after getting his ton. He slammed 100* off 131 balls and will resume batting with Harry Brook (0*).
