Kishore Kumar’s Premonition
His son, Amit Kumar, in one of his interviews with Rediff in 2002, recalled that the singer-actor had a premonition about his death. He said, “He seemed to have a sixth sense even of his death…On that day, he refused to allow [Amit’s stepbrother] Sumeet to go swimming and was very anxious that my flight from Canada would land on time. He was suffering from symptoms of a heart attack but joked that if we called a doctor, he would have a heart attack. In fact, he was laughing and talking with Leena when he keeled over. Leena at first thought that he was playing a prank.”
However, it indeed was a heart attack, and the superstar passed away as he was rushed to the hospital on the day his brother Ashok Kumar was celebrating his birthday. Kishore Kumar was not very happy in the final days of his life with the work he was getting. “Towards the end, he was very unhappy with the songs he was getting. He wanted to return to Khandwa, which he loved. Even in his shows, he always called himself Kishore Kumar Khandwawala,” recalled Amit Kumar in the same interview!
For the unversed, filmmaker Anurag Basu has been planning to make a biopic on Kishore Kumar, and the film is yet again in the work with Aamir Khan, who is supposedly coming in to play the lead!
