Did you know that Kishore Kumar, one of India’s most famous singers, had a funny signboard outside his house that said “Beware of Kishore”? Not just this, but Kishoreda, as he was lovingly called, has a history of many eccentric stories that have made his fans chuckle while admiring his quirks.
Kishore Kumar’s Hung ‘Beware Of Kishore’ Board
Kishore Kumar was not just an excellent singer but also a bit eccentric in a rather funny way. Instead of a usual “Beware of Dog” sign outside his house in Mumbai, he put up a sign that said “Beware of Kishore.” One of his anecdotes is that once producer-director H. S. Rawail, who owed Kumar some money, came to settle his dues. After Kumar accepted the payment, when Rawail offered to shake hands, Kishore reportedly bit Rawail’s hand and said, “Didn’t you see the sign?” Rawail laughed it off and left promptly.

Kishore Kumar’s Other Stories That Sound Fake But Are Actually True
In another incident, Kishore Kumar was scheduled to record a song for producer-director G. P. Sippy. When Sippy arrived at Kumar’s bungalow, he noticed Kumar leaving in his car. Sippy asked him to stop, but Kumar accelerated instead. Sippy then chased him to Madh Island, where Kumar finally stopped near the ruins of Madh Fort. When questioned about his odd behavior, Kumar refused to acknowledge or speak to Sippy and even threatened to call the police. The next morning, Kumar showed up for the recording session. A frustrated Sippy confronted him about the previous day’s events. Still, Kumar dismissed it, claiming Sippy must have dreamt the encounter and insisting that he had been in Khandwa the entire day before.
