About Manna Dey :-
Prabodh Chandra Dey (born May 1,
1919), better known by his nickname Manna Dey (

Hindi films and other vernacular
Indian films, especially Bengali.
Manna dey was born to
Purna Chandra (father) and Mahamaya Dey (mother)on 1 May, 1919.
Besides his parents, his youngest paternal uncle Sangeetacharya (meaning "
Venerable Teacher of
Music" in Sanskrit)
K. C. Dey highly inspired and influenced him. Manna received his early education in a small pre-primary school named Indu
Babur Pathshala. Thereafter he attended
Scottish Church Collegiate School and
Scottish Church College, followed by
Vidyasagar College where he received his graduate education. From his childhood, Manna showed a keen liking for wrestling and boxing, and excelled in both sports. He has a jovial personality and likes to play pranks on people once in a while.
His experimentation with western music has produced some unforgettable melodies. He has recorded more than
3500 songs.

Kumaran from
Kerala. They have two daughters: Shuroma, born on

Lyrics :
laaga chunari mein daag
chunari mein daag chhupaun kaise
ghar jaun kaise
laaga chunari mein daag chhupaun kaise
laaga chunari mein daag
ho gayi maili mori chunariya
kore badan si kori chunariya
ho gayi maili mori chunariya
kore badan si kori chunariya
jaake babul se nazrein milaaun kaise ghar jaun kaise
laaga chunari mein daag chhupaun kaise
laaga chunari mein daag chhupaun kaise
laaga chunari mein daag
bhool gayi sab vachan bida ke
kho gayi main sasuraal mein aake
bhool gayi sab vachan bida ke
kho gayi main sasuraal mein aake
jaake babul se nazrein milaaun kaise ghar jaun kaise
laaga chunari mein daag
kori chunariya aatma mori
mail hai maaya jaal
kori chunariya aatma mori
mail hai maaya jaal
wo duniya more babul ka ghar
ye duniya sasuraal
haan jaake babul se nazrein milaaun kaise ghar jaun kaise
laaga chunari mein daag chhupaun kaise
laaga chunari mein daag chhupaun kaise
laaga chunari mein daag laaga chunari mein daag
