Comedian Johnny
Walker (who was named after a popular brand of Scotch whisky) didn’t drink.
Ironically, a few songs picturised on him portrayed him as an alcoholic.
They were rendered by Mohammed Rafi, who was a teetotaller as well.
However, he sang Maine Pee Sharaab, from Naya Raasta (1970).
Sahir Ludhianvi penned the N Dutta composition.
And now, what does the song have to do with Walker? Well, it was picturised on Balraj Sahni, who spotted the funnyman entertaining passengers in a BEST bus, in which he worked as a conductor before his celluloid debut.
