Legendary singer Kishore Kumar, known for his unmatched voice in the 1970s, had a turbulent personal life. He married four times. At just 21, he married Bengali actor-singer Ruma Ghosh in 1950 but later admitted that they were very different and didn’t get along. In 1960, he married actor Madhubala, who was battling a heart condition. Their marriage ended with her death.
Later, Kishore married Yogeeta Bali, but this marriage lasted only two years. In an old interview, Kishore called his third marriage a “joke”. Finally, he married Leena Chandavarkar in 1980, with whom he remained until his death in 1989. Reflecting on his failed marriages, Kishore once said that each of them fell apart for different reasons, but he accepted them as part of life’s course.
