Anupam Kher once tried to school Kishore Kumar for singing on a wrong note. Singer replied, ‘Aapke baap ka kya jaa raha’

While on his regular trips, he saw a man approach his taxi, wearing a dhoti and hysterically asking him to deboard, so that he can take it. “The man was Kishore Kumar, and that was my first meeting with him,” Kher shared. The actor, a fan of the singer, next met him at Wembley Stadium where they were to perform at a concert.

Anupam Kher shared that he loved the song “Zindagi ki yehi reet hai” and was excited to hear Kishore Kumar sing the same live. “As he was rehearsing, he sang it on a different note. Since I was so attached to the song, like a fool, I went up to him to tell him he was singing on the wrong note. ‘Aap galat gaa rahe ho’ I told him.”

He shared that while his team of musicians was ready to attack him, the singer sweetly asked him what he meant by it. The actor went ahead and told him how he was singing it differently than the original track. “He asked me, who sang the original, I said you. He then asked who is singing it now, so I said you. ‘Toh aapke baap ka kya jaa raha‘ Kishore da shot back, before going back to singing on the same note again,” Anupam shared. His statement left everyone in splits.

Anupam Kher was joined by Neena Gupta, Sarika and Boman Irani on The Kapil Sharma Show as they promoted their film Uunchai.
