Just saw this video and it seems in a BBC interview
he claimed to have sung 25,000-26000 songs (around 1:40)

AJ

The above named MD , I guess , started with HUMJOLI ('43) followed by
ZEENAT ('45) and some breezy scores in LAKEEREN; MERA SALAM, WATAN,etc

Singer/Music director KHAN 'MASTANA' had started his career as MUSIC
DIRECTOR as early as WASIAT & other films like VIRGINIA, AKELA, etc

Were these two persons one and the same or different. Khan Mastana's
original name was Hafeez Khan ('Mastana' is only a nickname given to
him by MD; Mirsahib in & from his first rendition in BAHUDUR KISAN
('39)

The reason for posting this info resulted when a retired Prof. friend
of mine (from Ulhasnagar) casually opend up this topic and revealed a
startling info that both those persons were none other than Khan
Mastana !!

I am yet to concur with this info from him pending more info from well
known persaonalities of the tinsel screen.
