The 'Ek Ladki Bhigi Bhagi Si' crooner, who was born on August 4 1929, was a man with multiple talents. Other than being the most accomplished singer of his times, he was also a screenwriter, actor, composer, director, and producer.

Kumar died at the age of 58, but his memories are still etched in people's minds.
