My Take
I admire Hridaynath Mangeshkar for choosing the architect's chair instead of the spotlight. As the only son of Deenanath Mangeshkar and the younger brother of Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle, he could have leaned on legend; instead he became a music director who designs songs rather than merely sings them. Carrying the affectionate name Balasaheb and a National Film Award, he built genuine authority inside one of music's most intimidating families. To me, that quiet refusal to be overshadowed, while crafting melodies others made immortal, is a rarer kind of greatness than fame itself.
