Kishore Kumar birth anniversary: Plug in these songs by the irreplaceable gem of Indian cinema
Today marks the birth anniversary of playback legend Kishore Kumar. To define the versatile genius as just the iconic singer that he was would be unfair. He was also an actor, screenwriter, director, producer and composer. Born in Khandwa, present-day Madhya Pradesh in 1929, Kishore Kumar s real name was Abhas Kumar Ganguly. He successfully delivered blockbuster songs in various languages like Bengali, Marathi, Assamese, Gujarati, Kannada, Bhojpuri, Malayalam and Urdu.Â
Though we lost him in 1987, he is and will always be remembered as the irreplaceable gem of the Indian cinema whose voice and music shall always remain in the hearts of people. On the legendary singer s birth anniversary, here are some of the iconic songs that will always be everybodyâs favourites.
Before awarding the sentence, the court raised eyebrows on the conduct of the CBI investigating officer for not questioning Kumar’s brother. The court recorded that some of the alleged disproportionate assets, which include movable and immovable assets, were directly linked with Kumar’s brother, who is based in the UK and a doctor by profession.
“Despite this, he (brother) was never associated in any capacity during the investigation. The investigating officer never bothered to examine him or question him. It is interesting to further highlight that two flats situated in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi, were purchased during the check period, allegedly ‘benami’ by Sanjiv Kumar. One of these was purchased by accused Dr. Maheshwar Kumar (deceased father) whereas the other was purchased by Dr. Rajiv Kumar (UK-based brother),” the order reads.
