There are so many quirky, funny stories you can hear about the multi-faceted Kishore Kumar's humour quotient.
For instance, apparently he had placed a sign that read, "Beware of Kishore" at the door of his Warden Road flat. One story goes like this - producer-director, HS Rawail, who once owed him some money, visited his flat to pay the dues. Kishore da, happily took the money and when Rawail offered to shake hands with him, Kishore Kumar apparently put Rawail's hand in his mouth, bit it and asked, "Didn’t you see the sign?" The filmmaker was initially shocked but then understood Kishore da's humour and laughed off the incident.
According to another incident mentioned in an old article about the legendary singer, Kishore Kumar was due to record a song for producer-director GP Sippy. As Sippy approached his bungalow, he saw Kumar going out in his car. After following him for long, Sippy was finally able to stop him at Madh Island, but Kishore da refused to recognize him and threatened to call police. However, after meeting him next day on the recording, he behaved normal and told Sippy must have dreamt the incident as he was in Khandwa on the previous day.
Such was his antics and mood swings that once troubled by Kishore Kumar's funny antics, a filmmaker had reportedly gone to court to get a verdict that the singer will have to follow the director's orders. But little did he know who he was messing up with. Kishore da obeyed all the instructions given by the director.
However, during a shot, Kishore refused to get out of his car until the director ordered him to do so. In fact, during shooting for a car scene for the same film, Kishore da drove until he reached Khandala as the director forgot to say 'cut'.
