When Kishore Kumar’s strange request shocked BR Chopra

Kishore Kumar is considered one of the most legendary singers in the Hindi film industry. He is not only a singer but also an actor and director. But the singer isn’t just famous for her creativity. He was also reported to be extremely arrogant and disrespectful of producers and filmmakers on multiple occasions. In the 1950s and 1960s, he was such a huge star in Bollywood that many people had to follow his demands and actions. So, let’s look at a real-life example of Kishore Kumar showing arrogance.

According to reports, Kishore Kumar doesn’t like working under pressure. At times, he would even insult those he worked with. Hrishikesh Mukherjee, once a famous film producer, went to Kishore Kumar’s house to discuss a project but his caretaker stopped him from entering the house, Insulted him and drove him away. Another thing is that producer HS Rawai also went to meet him and paid him. At that time, Kishore Kumar hung a “Beware of Dogs” sign outside his residence. After giving the money, he started shaking hands with Kishore Kumar and then put Ravel’s hand in his mouth and started biting. Later, he told Lavoie that he had posted warnings outside.

Apart from this, one of the directors was quite troubled by Kishore Kumar’s bad temper and stubborn character and therefore approached the court for help. He formally obtained an agreement from the courts that would allow the producers to file a lawsuit against the singer if he did not comply with his demands during filming. Another strange incident is that BR Chopra wanted the singer to collaborate with him. Earlier, Kishore Kumar had approached him for a job, but BR Chopra had to put various conditions before giving him a job. In retaliation, even Kishore Kumar made a demand that BR Chopra must always wear pudding and eat paan before meeting him. These conditions were even accepted by BR Chopra.
