I have mentioned it many times that Chitragupta, despite his outstanding musical talent would not go out and socialise with big wigs of the industry and that is what prevented him from landing big banner movies. For instance, the first time he was introduced to raj Kapoor was in late 1980s by his sons Anand and Milind, and on meeting him, Raj Kapoor said that he was a big fan of Chitragupta and he would have loved to work with Chitragupta had he met him in their heydays.

Kishore Kumar is mainly associated with light hearted fun songs, though he has sung great songs in all genres including serious songs. It is a well known fact that Kishore Kumar was a natural singer, who had not taken any training in classical music, unlike most other leading singers. In fact,this lack of classical training was often taken to mean by music directors that Kishore Kumar could not sing such songs. I can recall at least one occasion where Manna Dey’s voice was used for Kishore Kumar the actor for a semi classical song situation. 🙂
