The academy also boasts of having on board many talented names like Raju Naushad (Naushad's son), Andalib Majrooh Sultanpuri (Majrooh Sultanpuri's son), Ruhan Mahendra Kapoor (Mahendra Kapoor's son) and Firdaus Shahid Rafi (Rafi's grandson) in it.

Not a single day passes without listening to Rafi Saheb's songs.Perhaps my ears have been conditioned to listening the greatest ever singer's golden voice ever since I was borne in the nineteen fourtees.I wish I could have met the great man.O DOOR KE MUSAFIR HUMKO BHI SAATH LELE, HUM RAH GAYE AKELE.....

Rafi Saheb ek mahaan kalakar the, main to kahta hoon ke woh aaj bhi ek nmahaan kalakar hai. Rafi Acedemy jo start kiya hai woh unki tarah hi successful ho. That is my wish.

I salute to Mohammad Rafi for being true Indian and I make prostration to God...

What a great idea and befitting tribute to the greatest singer India has ever produced. I am from Kolkata but I wish I was living in Mumbai so that I could join the academy.
