Download Ahmed Rushdi's Old Film Songs Online

Ahmed Rushdi was born to a religious, conservative family of Hyderabad Deccan in 1938. His father, Syed Manzoor Ahmed, taught Arabic and Persian at Aurangabad College, Hyderabad, Deccan, at the time of Ahmed Rushdi's birth.

Tragically, Ahmed Rushdi's father died when Ahmed Rushdi was only six years old. Ahmed Rushdi neither inherited music from any one, nor any body in his family was ever affiliated to music.

During those days, radio was a rare commodity. However, a radio set made its way to his house. From a tender age, Rushdi was fond of listening to the musical programs, including songs, which were broadcast from the radio.

Additionally, God Almighty had endowed him with a good singing voice. Ahmed Rushdi's singing talents impressed a very close friend of Ahmed Rushdi's father, whom Ahmed Rushdi called uncle and who loved him dearly.

One of those days, Ahmed Rushdi's uncle introduced him to his friend, who taught music at a local music academy in Hyderabad Deccan and enrolled Ahmed Rushdi in that school.
