According to reports, Kumar began his career in the Hindi film industry as a chorus singer at Bombay Talkies, where his brother worked. Khemchand Prakash, who recognised Kumar’s talent at a young age, gave him the opportunity to sing “Marne Ki Duayen Kyon Mangu” for the film Ziddi (1948). This song was a huge hit back then, and Kumar was offered many other projects as a result. In light of this development, Kumar decided to settle in Mumbai in 1949.
The music maestro was known not only for his incredible singing abilities, but also for his work as an actor, music director, producer, lyricist, writer, director, and screenwriter.
