Late legendary singer, Kishore Kumar was one of the finest singers this country has ever witnessed. Whether we talk about his evergreen songs or acting chops, he was simply everyone's favourite. But, apart from all the success he had achieved in his illustrious career, Kishore Kumar's personal life was quite the opposite of it. The singer had suffered tons of ups and downs in his personal life and got married four times in his life. Kishore Kumar's four wives were Ruma Guha Thakurta, Madhubala, Yogeeta Bali and Leena Chadavarkar.
Despite getting married to four different women in his life, Kishore Kumar remained unhappy most of his life, and much of the credit goes to his destiny, who never stopped turning his personal life upside down. The singer had passed away on October 13, 1987, at the age of 58 due to a severe heart attack. However, after so many years of his demise, something happened between Kishore's fourth wife, Leena Chadavarkar and famous criminal lawyer, late Ram Jethmalani that shocked the entire nation.

The incident which we are talking about is when on February 16, 2015, Ram Jethmalani was invited to The Hum Log Awards as one of the honourable chief guests.

The pictures from the incident went viral in newspapers, and everyone condemned criminal lawyer, Ram Jethmalani's decision to kiss late singer, Kishore Kumar's wife, Leena Chandavarkar, in public.

The doting wife also added that it was her husband, Kishore Kumar only, who told her to follow her heart, irrespective of what the world says. She had stated:
"He is 92 years old and full of life. He might appear stern but has a warm heart. I have always been inspired by his encouraging speeches. As far as the matter about me being Kishore Kumar's wife is concerned, I consider him my guru and he always said that don't think about what others think of you. If you have no regrets about doing something then everything else is immaterial."
