Such a great actor Pradeep k. and Bharat bhusan were abondoned by film industry they became very poor due to lack of job and they wereliving in jhopad patti in Bandra ( where poorPeople live).Fortunately one journalist found him bring them in lime lite again.thank you

@MrVicshuklanyc - It is sad to hear these kind of things about those great artists. Really sad.

In fact, another yesteryear artist, G. M. Durrani, a great singer had a very bad time at the end of his career as a singer.

Even Wikipedia has mentioned it this way;

"It is said that many years later someone heard an old man singing in a recording studio for jingles in a corner. When person went to tell him what a lovely voice, he was surprised to see it was Durrani Sahab who had fallen to bad days."

[MrVicshuklanyc]

@yuanyuanyuanyin Really I have no idea about G M Durrani because of you I came to know about him and I saw him in some songs that you posted. thank you

[yuanyuanyuanyin]

@MrVicshuklanyc - You are most welcome, my dear friend.

Actually, I too came to know many such things from other friends and Internet, mainly from Wikipedia.

Thank you.
