Did you know Kishore Kumar left Madhubala alone during her final days?
Madhubala, Bollywood's iconic beauty, passed away at the age of 36 due to a heart condition. Despite her brief life, her films and her relationship with Dilip Kumar still amaze fans. Although they never married, her love for him is said to have lasted until her death.
Madhubala later married singer Kishore Kumar, but their marriage was said to be difficult. Her sister, Madhur Bhushan, told Rediff News that Kishore Kumar was not a supportive husband, highlighting the struggles Madhubala faced in her personal life.
Madhur shared that Madhubala had a hole in her heart and was planning to go to London for treatment when Kishore Kumar proposed. Their father advised her to wait until she received medical clearance, but Madhubala married Kishore Kumar out of stubbornness and anger towards Dilip Kumar. She got married in 1960 when she was 27 years old.
Madhur revealed that after doctors gave Madhubala a grim prognosis, Kishore Kumar left her alone in a house in Mumbai with only a nurse and driver. He rarely visited or answered her calls during this difficult time.
Madhur shared that after doctors predicted that Madhubala had little time left, Kishore Kumar bought her a house on Carter Road in Mumbai, leaving her there with only a nurse and driver. He visited infrequently and ignored her calls. Despite being deeply in love with her, Kishore distanced himself after her return from London and was not a supportive husband.
