It is Zanjeer, not Zindagi.
@ Gaurang- sorry my bad, its a typo- same word zindagi got repeated twice.will request the editors to do the needful.
yes Gaurang, it is true.he used to act mainly to keep the chulha burning at home in the initial days!!!
He has a full fledged song from zanjeer picturised on him,,,(Deewane hai deewane ko na ghar chaiye!! …he has done some amazing work with late prakash mehra!!.

(You tube link for the same!)
Yup I did see it available on Youtube,thanks anyways for pointing it out.certainly a talented personality.
RIP. had done a radio show on his musical career. so many interesting anecdotes in that RD Tribute recording. Trying to find that transcript…
Some of fav songs-
Lehron ki tarah yaadein dil se takraati hain, toofaan uthaati hain..
Sheeshe ke gharon mein dekho to..
Pyaar hamein is mod pe le aaya..
& the eternal-Samundar mein nahaake(which had an interesting anecdote how it came into being during a trip to Khandala)
Found some bits on his RD connection….
“Gulshan Bawra ka Asli hunar saamne aaya jab unki geeton par RD Burman ji ka sangeet sajaa.Kaha jaata hai ki pehle to RD Burman sahab Gulshan bawra ji ke saath kaam karne ko raazi na the par jab unke likhe gaye Khalifa film ke geet sune tab unki metre mein likhe shabd pancham saahab ko bhaa gaye. Aur yun RD Burman sahab aur Gulshan Bawra ji ki safal filmi aur dostana jodi bani. Khalifa ka geet Dil machal raha hai bana is jodi ka pehla geet tha jo ki randhir kapoor aur rekha par filmaya sabse safal geet bana. Is ke baad RD burman aur gulshan jee ne film jawani, sanam teri kasam, Satte pe satta, Agar tum na hote, jaisi super hit Geeton ki rachna ki. “
May he rest in peace, i’ve always admired him especially as he wrote the beautiful lyrics for one of my all time film soundtracks ‘yeh vaada raha’
