He retreated into his (Muke)shell

All Raj Kapoor’s character in Kanhaiya (1959) wanted was to have nothing to do with the one who S(hailendr)addened him.

But it seemed that that was too much to ask, because it was, after all, a film, so his character had to request that he be left alone with a song.

And since it was picturised on Kapoor, it had to be composed by Shankar Jaikishan and rendered by Mukesh.

Hindi film music aficionados obviously paid no heed to his plea, and loved Mujhe tumse kuchh bhi na chahiye, mujhe mere haal pe chhod do.
