Gulzar reveals unknown facts about Kishore Kumar in his memoir

Meanwhile, in his new memoir, Actually...I Met Them, lyricist Gulzar revealed some unknown facts about Kumar. The iconic poet stated that the 'mad genius' was set to feature in 1971's cult classic release Anand. However, just a few days before the shoot of the film, the star turned up completely bald in a meeting to discuss his look in the film. Gulzar wrote, "On top of that, Kishoreda went around the office dancing and singing... Perhaps Kishoreda never wanted to play the character." He further added how "one of Kishore Kumar's favourite things to do was 'to land his producers in trouble." 

Gulzar also spoke about his other mischievous stints, including his disappearance through a 'secret staircase' behind his cupboard. He shed light on the "immense effort and planning required to live a life of absurdities". Kishore da passed away in 1987.
