Legendary screenwriter and lyricist Javed Akhtar has seen it and done it all. However, there’s one thing he missed out on, collaborating with the legendary singer Mohammed Rafi.

Javed recently attended an event in the city with veteran actor Jeetendra and spoke about how he never got to collaborate with the late singer. The veteran screenwriter said that although he was a part of the industry during the prime of Mohammed Rafi, he wasn’t working in the capacity of a lyricist. He was writing scripts for films, which were turning out to be blockbusters.

He said, “When he was in this world, I couldn`t write songs. I was in the film industry but I was a script writer. But I couldn`t write songs for him. So this desire remained in my heart that Rafi bhai should have also got to know me”.
