Mumbai, 22nd July 2023 (Newshelpline) - Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh, who is the grandson of singer Mukesh pays an emotional tribute to his grandfather on his 100th Birthday anniversary.

Mukesh’s son Nitin Mukesh and Neil Nitin Mukesh hosted a press-meet to mark the 100th birth anniversary of Mukesh at the circle which is named after the legendary singer.

Mukesh, proclaimed as 'Voice of the millennium', is one of the iconic singers who was considered among the most popular and acclaimed playback singers of the Hindi film industry back in the 60s.

Talking about his childhood memories, Neil said, “Unfortunately, I was never able to meet my grandfather, but I have always said this and truly believe it as well, he is always with us, and he will always remain with us. My father raised his kids with utmost love and respect, and I don’t think I’d get the same if I was born someplace else, for that I am truly grateful to him and God, that we are a part of this family.”

“I have had a close relationship with my grandmother during my childhood, and through her I got to know things about my grandfather. The void I felt back in my childhood because my grandfather wasn’t around, I don’t feel that void all that much now, and my father has tried to keep his musical legacy alive through his songs. I am truly humbled and honored to say that there is no greater son than my father” added Neil.

Neil also shared an unknown story about his father and the name of everyone in the family, calling him the greater son ever.

He said, “My father wanted to be a director, when my grandfather passed away, and he got into playback singing and he kept his memories alive, and he even added his father’s name in his name, and I did the same, I added both their names in my own name.”

Last seen in Bypass Road, actor Neil Nitin Mukesh will soon be seen in Firrkie, a thriller by Ashok Mishra.
