Most mujra songs in Hindi movies are rather “light” in nature in the sense that the clients as well as the mujra performers seem to be at ease with themselves. In reality, performing mujra as well as going to kotha to watch these performances was regarded as disreputable acts.
Supercars veteran Craig Lowndes' decision to announce his retirement from full-time driving has surprised some of his greatest rivals.
"Bit of a shock to be honest, given he's probably having his best year in a while," fellow veteran Garth Tander told AAP.
"I can understand why. No-one works harder than he does away from the track, the sponsor stuff and appearances ... bit of a shock but I can certainly understand where he's coming from."
Tander, who made his debut two years after Lowndes claimed the championship in 1996 as a 21-year-old rookie, said he'll miss the "only constant" of his Supercars career.
"He smiles a lot out of the car but he's a dirty bugger out on the racetrack ... whenever you race with Craig, especially over the last 10 years, we've raced really, really hard, but really fair," he said.
Nissan driver Rick Kelly, who pipped Lowndes to the 2006 championship, hoped Lowndes hadn't been pressured into stepping down from a full-time role with Triple Eight Race Engineering - despite having another 18 months to run on his contract.
"He was there when I started literally selling his hats out of the HRT merchandise trailer and I couldn't unbox them as quick as they were selling," he told AAP.
"For most drivers he's a pretty significant inspiration ... if you take him out of the picture, the sport's a different place ... we owe a lot to him."
Long-time teammate Jamie Whincup said Lowndes had played a key mentoring role when he joined Triple Eight in 2006 "knowing nothing".
