It was Kumar’s maiden (Kisho)rendition

Ziddi, which released in 1948, didn’t just establish its leading man – the evergreen Dev Anand – as a star, but also marked the debut of a teenager as a playback singer.

It probably helped that the latter was a reluctant actor and was ziddi (stubborn) enough to make it to the top echelon of playback singing (which he did, albeit a couple of decades later).

The man in question was none other than Mr Kumar, and the first song he (Kisho)rendered was Marne Ki Duaayen Kyon Maangoon.

Prof Jazbi penned the song, which Khemchand Prakash composed.
