People of Khandwa town in Madhya Pradesh today observed the 88th birth anniversary of legendary singer, actor and filmmaker Kishore Kumar.

Kumar was born here on August 4, 1929.

His fans paid tributes at his memorial in the town, making offerings of 'doodh jalebi', which was his favourite dish.

Mayor Subhash Kothari, local mla Devendra Verma, district collector Abhishek Singh and superintendent of Police Navneet Bhasin visited the memorial.

A few of his popular songs were also sung.

Kumar spent his childhood years in Khandwa before shifting to Mumbai.

Apart from acting and directing films, Kumar lent his versatile voice to several stars, from Dev Anand to Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan.

"He didn't forget his birthplace, and often said 'Doodh jalebi khayenge, Khandwa me bas jayenge' (will have milk-with-jalebi and settle down in Khandwa)," reminisced a fan named Milin Mishra.

Madhya Pradesh congress spokesperson Pankaj Chaturvedi has demanded that the state government should convert Kumar's ancestral house in Bombay Bazaar area here into a grand memorial.

In Bhopal, Samrat Sangeet Sadhna Sewa Samiti, a music group, paid a tribute to Kumar through a special event in which singer Sadhna Sargam along with Sunil Shukraware performed.

Kim Kardashian didn’t know the Ambanis before saying yes to their ‘wild’ 50-pound wedding invite

Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloé Kardashian recently opened up about their whirlwind trip to India in July 2024. The two reality stars were among the global celebrities who attended the grand wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. In the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kim admitted that she didn’t personally know the Ambani family before attending the wedding. In fact, the decision to go was made pretty casually.

Schwartz designs jewellery for the Ambanis and was attending the wedding herself. She mentioned to Kim that the family was interested in inviting the Kardashian sisters to the event. “Lorraine said they’d love to have us there. We thought, why not? And we just went for it,” Kim explained.

Kareena Kapoor tells Gillian Anderson the reason why she turns down intimate scenes

Kareena Kapoor Khan, one of Bollywood’s most loved stars, has spent over two decades making deliberate choices about the roles she takes. One of those decisions is steering clear of sex scenes on screen, a stance she recently explained in a conversation with Gillian Anderson for The Dirty Magazine.

Kareena was upfront about her reasons. “I’ve never felt the need to do it,” she said. For her, intimacy doesn’t have to be shown explicitly to tell a compelling story. “I don’t think it’s necessary to push a narrative forward,” she added, making it clear that such scenes have never been part of her creative comfort zone. Unlike many in the industry, she’s never seen them as essential to her craft.
