The legendary singer, actor Kishore Kumar passed away on October 13, 1987 due to heart-attack. In an old interview, his son Amit Kumar had revealed that he had a sixth sense about his death. He had recalled the day of his father’s demise and said that he had symptoms of heart-attack. Kishore Kumar was with his wife Leena Chandavarkar that day.
Amit Kumar had revealed in an old interview with Rediff, “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.”
Kishore Kumar was initially married to Ruma in 1950. But their marriage ended as she wanted a career. Later he got married to Madhubala but as the actress passed away, he was in deep depression. That’s when he met Yogeeta Bali who helped him recover from his depression. Their marriage also soon ended because reportedly, Yogeeta’s mother was concerned about her career and chances of pregnancy. And then he married Leena. His son Amit Kumar revealed that with Leena he had finally found his happiness.
For those not in the know, Amit Kumar was Kishore’s son with his first wife Ruma. While, Sumeet Kumar is Kishore Kumar and Leena’s son. In the same interview, Amit had said, ““With Leena Chandavarkar, Baba finally found happiness. Baba offered her a role in his film Mamta Ki Chhaon Mein, when she had lost her husband and had come down to Mumbai to complete two pending films. She accepted the film and got out of her depression. She declined his proposal , but later impulsively accepted Baba’s standing offer.”
