Kishore Kumar refused to pay bribe to 'someone in ministry' for National Award, reveals son Amit Kumar
It is no exaggeration to call Kishore Kumar one of the most iconic and successful singers in Indian entertainment history. Ironically enough, despite being considered one of the finest playback singers in Indian cinema, Kishore never won a National Film Award. In a recent interview, his son and singer Amit Kumar revealed that the late singer did once come close to a National Award win, but was deterred by the demand for a bribe. In the 1960s, after Kishore's films as an actor began flopping, he turned director with Door Gagan Ki Chhaon Mein, which also starred Amit alongside him. The film was released in 1964 and was a stupendous box office success. At the time, it was reported that the film was being considered for the National Awards. In an interview with Vickey Lalwani, Amit confirmed this. When asked if there was an offer of a bribe as had been reported, Amit replied, "Yes, that happened. He got a call from Delhi from someone in the Ministry. At that time, Haqeeqat, Dosti, and Door Gagan Ki Chhaon Mein were being considered (for the National Award). They told my father, 'If you do something, give something, then we can get you nominated.' My father was like, 'Why are you after my life? My film is a hit.'' Door Gagan Ki Chhaon Mein, an adaptation of the American film The Proud Rebel, was a critical and commercial success. It was later remade in Tamil as Ramu, in Telugu as Ramu as well, and in Malayalam as Babumon. Noting an irony, Amit recalled, "The film ran for 23 weeks at Super Cinema. In Delhi-UP, the film was a silver jubilee. Then he sold the rights to a Tamil filmmaker. The remake was called Ramu. That won the National Award." While largely known as a singer, Kishore directed 12 films, of which 8 found release and 4 were abandoned. His final directorial, Mamta Ki Chhaon Mein, was a spiritual sequel to Door Gagan Ki Chhaon Mein. Starring Amit Kumar, Ashok Kumar, Rajesh Khanna and Leena Chandavarkar, it was released in 1990, three years after Kishore's death.

Man assaults 73-year-old father and breaks his legs in Dahisar, FIR registered
Mumbai: A senior citizen lodged a police complaint against his son for assaulting him, resulting in both his legs getting fractured, over a dispute regarding property. Dahisar Police are looking for him. The 73-year-old complainant, VS Salate, resides alone in Dahisar East after his wife passed away two years ago. His older son, Kishore, 47, lives in Konkan while his younger son, aged 45, lives in the western suburbs. Salate told the police that he owns a 1-BHK apartment at Jogeshwari East and Kishore often fought with him to get the property transferred in his name. On May 25, Salate was at home when Kishore landed up and started fighting about the property transfer once again. He verbally abused his father who said that he would get the property after Salate's death. But Kishore continued to fight with him. He then picked up a wooden strip and started to hit his father on both his legs. Salate fell down after which Kishore assaulted him on the back with the strip. After hearing the commotion, Salate's neighbour called up his younger son who rushed to the house and moved him to Babasaheb Ambedkar Hospitl, Kandivli. Doctors said both his legs were fractured and admitted him to the hospital. Kishore had fled by then. Dahisar police later recorded Salate's statement and registered an FIR for voluntarily causing hurt and intimidation against Kishore under provisions of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita on May 26.

Kishore Kumar: The iconic singer who hated acting and dreamed of Khandwa
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Though Kishore Kumar conquered Indian cinema with his legendary voice and diverse on-screen roles, few know how much he despised the world of acting. In a 1985 interview with journalist Pritish Nandy, two years before his death, Kishore opened up about his lifelong yearning, not for the spotlight, but for a quiet life in Khandwa, the land of his ancestors. Kishore Kumar wanted to get out of the rat race 'Who can live in this stupid, friendless city where everyone seeks to exploit you every moment of the day?' he lamented, describing Mumbai as a place of distrust and isolation. His dream, he said, was simple: 'I am determined to get out of this futile rat race and live as I've always wanted to, in my native Khandwa. Who wants to die in this ugly city?' 'I only wanted to sing. Never to act' Though lauded for his acting, Kishore Kumar revealed that he never wanted to be an actor at all. 'I was conned into it,' he confessed. 'I only wanted to sing. Never to act.' But thanks to circumstances and industry pressure, Kishore found himself acting in films, something he loathed deeply. He admitted trying every trick to escape: flubbing lines, behaving oddly on set, shaving his head, even deliberately mixing up scenes and dialogues. Yet, filmmakers wouldn't let him go. 'They were just determined to make me a star,' he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo A big reason, he added, was his identity as the brother of legendary actor Ashok Kumar (Dadamoni), which only increased industry expectations. Did Kishore Kumar dump Madhubala after knowing her illness? 'It evoked nightmares of school' Despite his hatred for acting, Kishore became one of the biggest draws in Hindi cinema after Dilip Kumar. But the experience, he said, was anything but glamorous. 'There were so many films I was doing that I had to run from one set to the other, changing on the way — my shirts flying off, my wig coming loose, my trousers falling down,' he laughed. Often, he would mess up emotions: looking angry in a love scene or romantic during a fight. 'It evoked nightmares of school,' Kishore shared, comparing directors to schoolteachers barking orders. It was this suffocating routine that made him long, more than anything, for the peace and simplicity of his hometown. The iconic singer breathed his last on October 13, 1987 at the age of 58.
