&quot;He is in not in a mood to celebrate his birthday because he is still Deyvastated by his wife&#39;s Deyath. Also, he is not keeping good health,&quot; his grand nephew SanDeyep Dey told in an interview.u00a0 <img alt="manna-dey" src="/imagedata/2012/may/manna-dey.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 460px; " /> Sulochana Dey, who passed away in January, was known to have been an inspiration behind a number of his evergreen love songs. Dey has been living in Bangalore since 2000. &quot;Their bonding was very strong as they were married for sixty years. Now on his birthday he misses her the most,&quot; family members said. The health of the Dadasaheb Phalke awarDeye is also a concern. A doctor attending on the singer said for the past one year, he has been unable to leave his house due to pain in the back and legs. &quot;He needs some support now for walking. In the last few months, he has shed 10-12 kg in weight, but other health parameters are okay now,&quot; the doctor said. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had yesterday telephoned him and wished the veteran singer a long life. &quot; He was completely flattered by the phone call. Never in the past had a chief minister called up. He was very moved,&quot; SanDeyep said. Dey was a name to reckon with in the music industry from the 1950s to the 1970s. Having recorDeyd more than 3,500 songs in a number of languages including Hindi and Bengali, he regaled generations of listeners with his romantic ballads, intricate raga-based songs, Qawwalis and fast-paced moDeyrn numbers, lending his voice to a number of Hindi and Bengali film stars. His popular tracks incluDey &#39;Poocho Na Kaise Maine&#39; (Meri Surat Teri Aankhen), &#39;Ae Meri Zohra Jabeen&#39; (Waqt), &#39;Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli&#39; (Anand), &#39;Yeh Dosti&#39; (Sholay) and &#39;Ek Chatur Naar&#39; (Padosan).
