LMAO!! What a gem!! 😆 I laughed like a maniac. He was ummm...special!!

Pritish Nandy: Why do you have this reputation for doing strange things?
Kishore Kumar: It all began with this girl who came to interview me. In those days I used to live alone. So she said: You must be very lonely. I said: No, let me introduce you to some of my friends. So I took her to the garden and introduced her to some of the friendlier trees. Janardhan; Raghunandan; Gangadhar; Jagannath; Buddhuram; Jhatpatajhatpatpat. I said they were my closest friends in this cruel world. She went and wrote this bizarre piece, saying that I spent long evenings with my arms entwined around them. What's wrong with that, you tell me? What's wrong making friends with trees?

ROTFL!! 😆 😆 😆

I think he just created an image for himself and just lived by it... wasn't perfect, nobody is...but his multi-talented personality remains unmatched till date in Bollywood...

I re-read it. In today's times will anyone dare to call his own films flop or bad?😆We need weirdos like this man in BW.

Pritish Nandy: Like Hitchcock?
Kishore Kumar: Yes, my favourite director. I'm mad, true. But only about one thing. Horror movies. I love spooks. They are a friendly fearsome lot. Very nice people, actually, if you get to know them. Not like these industry chaps out here. Do you know any spooks?

Pritish Nandy: Not very friendly ones.
Kishore Kumar: But nice, frightening ones?

Pritish Nandy: Not really.
Kishore Kumar: But that's precisely what we're all going to become one day. Like this chap out here (points to a skull, which he uses as part of his decor, with red light emerging from its eyes)- you don't even know whether it's a man or a woman. Eh? But it's a nice sort. Friendly too. Look, doesn't it look nice with my specs on its non-existent nose?

Pritish Nandy: Very nice indeed.
Kishore Kumar: You are a good man. You understand the real things of life. You are going to look like this one day.

I tried to figure out what the hell he meant by 'play with my spooks.' Then I got to the end of the interview. So 'spooks' is also used for skeletons. I didn't know that.

The interview had me 🤣 Extraordinary interview, indeed. 😆 😆 😆

I love love love his songs ... even after all these years, he still holds the record for winning maximum number of filmfare awards in male playback singer category ..
