In 1955, Ganpat Lal Batto died in a road accident. The couple had but one child, a daughter named Usha, who in due course married a Hindu gentleman, Lieutenant Colonel Yogesh Ratra, an officer in the Indian Army. In 1934, despite strenuous opposition from both their families due to religious differences, 15-year-old Shamshad married Ganpat Lal Batto. Their efforts were on the verge of bearing fruit in 1934 when Ganpat Lal Batto and Shamshad made the decision to marry each other. In those days, marriages were performed while the bride and groom were very young, and Shamshad’s parents were already looking out for a suitable alliance for her. In 1932, the teenage Shamshad came in contact with Ganpat Lal Batto, a Hindu law student who lived in the same neighborhood and who was several years older than her. Her father, Mian Hussain Baksh Maan, worked as a mechanic and her mother, Ghulam Fatima, was a pious lady of conservative disposition, a devoted wife and mother who raised her children with traditional family values. She was one of eight children, five sons, and three daughters, born to a conservative Muslim family of limited means. Shamshad Begum was born in Lahore, British India (present-day Pakistan) on 14 April 1919 in a Punjabi Mann Jatt Muslim Family, the day after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre took place in nearby Amritsar. Her songs from the 1940s to the early 1970s remain popular and continue to be remixed. She worked with maestros including Naushad Ali, S. She had a distinctive voice and was a versatile artist, singing over 6,000 songs in Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil and Punjabi languages, and of the 1287 songs were Hindi film songs. She was born in 1919 in a ‘Punjabi Mann Jatt Muslim’ family. Shamshad Begum ( 14 April 1919 – 23 April 2013) was an Indian singer who was one of the first playback singers in the Hindi film industry.
