Kishore came to Mumbai from his native place in Khandwa in 1949, as his elder brother and film star Ashok Kumar was also working in Mumbai. He started working as a chorus singer with the then-flourishing Bombay Talkies. Ashok got Kishore a role in a film called Shikari where Ashok played the lead role. But Kishore continued to strive to get singing work.He finally managed to get a song in Dev Anand’s Ziddi (Marne ki duayen kyon mangu) and many offers started flowing in soon after.Kishore died on October 13, 1987, on Ashok Kumar’s birthday.
