"I
muffed my lines,pretended to be crazy,shaved my head,played difficult,
began yodelling in the middle of tragic scenes,told Meena Kumari what
I was supposed to speak out to Bina Rai.But they still would'nt let
me go.I screamed, ranted, went cuckoo. But who cared?They were just
determined to make me a star.",says Kishore Kumar."The atmosphere
used to change when he walked into a recording studio. But yes, he
would tell me about the songs he has recorded that day. He would sometimes
imitate a singer and make all of us laugh though he never mocked anybody.
Where actors were concerned, he preferred his own brother, Ashok Kumar.
Dada Moni was responsible for bringing Baba to Bombay, to this film
industry. Another actor Baba liked was Dilip Kumar.He also liked to
watch Motilal, Raj Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan though Baba didn't watch
too many films.Baba saw Apocalypse Now at least three times and Godfather17
to 18 times." says Amit Kumar."He
was a great singer and an actor too." adds Amit Kumar.

| He
had this small-town innocence in him and always told us he wanted
to go back to Khandwa and become a school master. He always wanted
to become one. But at Dada Moni's insistence he came to Bombay and
became an actor. Bombay was no bed of roses. He had to struggle a
lot."remembers Amit Kumar. |
