AGENCY: AUGUST 4 – Kishore Kumar is not in this world. But the magic of his voice is still spreading. His songs have become the first choice of music lovers. Apart from Hindi, he sang in many Indian languages including Bengali, Marathi, Assamese, Gujarati, Kannada, Bhojpuri, Malayalam and Urdu. Kishor was born on August 4, 1929, in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh. As a child, his name was Abhas Kumar Ganguly.
Kishor was impressed by K. L. Saigal’s songs and wanted to be a singer like him. Following this dream, he went to Mumbai to meet Saigal at the age of 18, but his wish was not fulfilled. By that time, his brother Ashok Kumar had built his image as an actor. The Kishore also made a name for himself in a short time. But there came a time in his life when Kishore had nothing to do. So he went to various ceremonies and started singing. Similarly, his personal life was full of ups and downs. He got married four times. Kishore Kumar was very famous as a singer and actor. But he was addicted to changing girls. That is why he got married four times. Today, on his birthday, we are discussing:
Kishore was first married in 1950 to singer and actress Ruma Guha Thakurta. After eight years of marriage, their relationship began to fall apart and they eventually divorced. Kishore and Ruma have a son Amit Kumar. He is a singer. Ruma passed away in June 2019.
After breaking up with Ruma, Kishore married actress Madhubala. Kishore and Madhubala were working together in many movies and fell in love. They got married in 1960. But after the marriage, it was discovered that there was a ventricular septal defect (hole in the heart) in Madhubala’s heart. Kishore took her to London for treatment. Madhubala died a few years after the marriage.
After Madhubala’s death, Yogeeta Bali entered the life of a Kishore. But this marriage also broke up in two years.
After the third divorce, Kishore began to keep himself busy at work. At that time, he was filming ‘Pyaar Ajnabi Hai’. Leena Chandavarkar was also in the film. While working, love returned between the two. They both decided to get married. But Lena’s father was against the marriage. Because the age difference between the two was 20 years. But Leena ignored her father’s words and married Kishore. They have a son Sumit Kumar. Kishore Kumar died in 1987 after seven years of marriage. Since then, Leena has been living with her son.
