Kishore Kumar was one of the greatest singing talents ever produced in India. As a one-of-a-kind artist, he was known for his timeless songs, versatile voice, unmatched stage energy and unique personality. The legendary singer is credited for giving some of the most iconic songs to the industry. Apart from his chartbuster songs like Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si and Chalti Ka Naam Gadi, among others, Kishore’s personal life used to also make headlines. However, amid all this, several stories surrounding the singer’s quirky behaviour also used to interest people. In a new interview, the singer’s son, Amit, opened up about one such rumour that claimed Kishore kept skulls and bones at his home.
Amit Kumar opens up about Kishore Kumar’s habit of keeping bones and skulls at home
Amit Kumar recently sat down for an interview with Vickey Lalwani, where he clarified certain rumours and myths about his father, Kishore Kumar. Among others, he talked about the rumour that his father kept skulls and bones to scare certain unwanted people away. Amit acknowledged that his father did keep skulls and bones at his home. However, they were not any spooky collection meant to ward off people. Instead, they were souvenirs bought during a family trip in Africa. In his words:
“Woh toh hum lekar aaye thay. Hum log show karne gaye thay East Africa, Nairobi. Wahan par he had that hobby of collecting and buying such curios… toh wapas aate waqt hum sab lekar aaye thay. In fact, abhi bhi hai woh, in trust.”
