Kishore Kumar bagged 8 Filmfare Awards for playback singing. He sung songs in Marathi, Assamese, Malayalam, Bhojpuri, Kannada, Gujrati, Oriya languages apart from Hindi and Bengali. Kishore Kumar began his career in Bollywood as a chorus singer and started working for Bombay Talkies. He began his acting career in 1946 with “Shikari” which had Ashok Kumar in the lead. Then he got a chance to sing in the film “Ziddi” after 2 years, and he sang the song ‘marne ki duayen kyu mangun ..’.
