Kishore Kumar had got married to 4 different women and every one was from well-known background from the industry. His first wife was Satyajit Ray's niece, Ruma Guha Thakurta.
Soon after their marriage, they started hitting rough patches. Kishore wanted Ruma to stay at home and take care of their kids, and she wasn't ready for that. Later, in 1958, they parted ways.
After his first unhappy marriage, Kishore Kumar found love in the arms of Bollywood diva, Madhubala. He even converted himself into Muslim to marry the actress and he was named as Karim Abdul.
