Kishore Kumar Sang Only Twice for Brother Anoop Kumar: Unveiling a Lesser-Known Legacy
- •Anoop Kumar, younger brother of Ashok Kumar and Kishore Kumar, was a multi-talented actor, singer, and musician.
- •Despite starring in over 70 films, Kishore Kumar reportedly sang for Anoop Kumar only twice, due to a personal policy against singing for close relatives.
- •Anoop Kumar received formal classical music training and taught Kishore Kumar the art of yodelling, which became Kishore's signature style.
- •His notable performances include 'Dekh Kabira Roya' (1957) and 'Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi' (1958), where he co-starred with his brothers.
- •Anoop Kumar's career spanned four decades, including film and television roles, and he passed away in 1997 at 71.
Why It Matters: Anoop Kumar, a talented actor and musician, carved his own niche despite his famous brothers, with Kishore Kumar rarely singing for him.
