Kumar did not accept (Kisho)remuneration

I wrote this post on December 29, 2023, which happened to be the 81st birth anniversary of Rajesh Khanna, the producer and leading man in Alag Alag, which released in 1985.

Since the film marked his debut as producer, his playback voice since his breakthrough hit Aradhana (1969) – the one and only Kishore Kumar – did not charge him a fee for rendering the songs of the film.

The second song from the film in my collection – alphabetically too – was Kabhi Bekasi Ne Maara.

Anand Bakshi wrote the song, which was composed by R D Burman.
