    Kishore Kumar, the man
  • Kishore Kumar was thought of as an eccentric man with multiple obsessions and paranoias.

    Despite his enormous popularity, he remained extremely humble which came across as insecurity sometimes.

    He married thrice before finding true happiness with his fourth wife Leena Chandavarkar.

    Towards the end, he became increasingly disillusioned with the film industry and turned into a recluse.

    He passed away aged 58 in 1987.
