Kumar married iv times. His offset wife was Bengali vocalizer and actress Ruma Guha Thakurta aka Ruma Ghosh. Their marriage lasted from 1950 to 1958.^{[49] : 53}

Kumar'due south relationship with extra Madhubala was the bailiwick of much media attention.^[72] Madhubala had worked with Kumar in many films including his habitation production Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958) and Jhumroo (1961).^[124] According to Madhubala'southward sister Madhur Bhushan, after Madhubala's relationship with actor Dilip Kumar faded, Madhubala got involved with Kishore who was going through a divorce with Ruma Guha Thakurta. Their dear affair went on for three years through Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi and Half Ticket.^[125] Madhubala was ill and was planning to go to London for handling. She had a ventricular septal defect (pigsty in the heart). The couple had a civil wedding in 1960 and Kumar reportedly converted to Islam and changed his name to Karim Abdul.^[126] His parents refused to attend the anniversary. The couple also had a Hindu ceremony to please Kumar'south parents. Their marriage concluded with Madhubala's death on 23 February 1969.^[127]

Kishore's third marriage was to Yogeeta Bali, and lasted from 1976 to 4 August 1978. Kishore was married to Leena Chandavarkar from 1980 until his death. He had two sons, Amit Kumar with Ruma, and Sumit Kumar with Leena Chandavarkar.^[128]

Kumar is said to take been paranoid about non existence paid.^[31] During recordings, he would sing only after his secretary confirmed that the producer had made the payment.^[129] On one occasion, when he discovered that his dues had not been fully paid, he appeared on set with makeup on only one side of his face. When the director questioned him, he replied "Aadha paisa to aadha brand-upwards." (Half make-up for half payment).^[31] On the sets of Bhai Bhai, Kumar refused to act because the director K V Raman owed him ₹ v,000. Ashok Kumar persuaded him to do the scene simply when the shooting started, Kishore walked a few paces and said, Paanch Hazaar Rupaiya (five grand rupees) and did a somersault. After he reached the end of the floor, he left the studio.^[130] On some other occasion, when producer R.C. Talwar did non pay his dues in spite of repeated reminders, Kumar arrived at Talwar'southward residence shouting "Hey Talwar, de de mere aath hazaar" ("Hey Talwar, give me my 8 thousand") every morning until Talwar paid up.^[129]

In spite of his "no money, no work" principle, sometimes Kumar recorded complimentary fifty-fifty when the producers were willing to pay. Such films include those produced by Rajesh Khanna and Danny Denzongpa.^[131] On one occasion, Kishore helped histrion-turned-producer Bipin Gupta by giving him ₹ xx,000 for the moving-picture show Dal Mein Kala (1964). When actor Arun Kumar Mukherjee—1 of the kickoff persons to appreciate Kishore'south singing talent—died, Kumar regularly sent coin to Mukherjee's family unit in Bhagalpur.^[130]

According to Kumar'southward eldest son Amit Kumar, Kumar did a lot of charity and free shows for jawans and cancer patients but he never spoke nigh information technology. Kumar was a homebody and avoided the trappings of distinction. He was an early riser and went to bed early on. He loved accurate Bengali food, and was securely emotional, a side which he seldom expressed and was also philosophic. Kumar was fond of Biblical films and liked sitting in a cemetery.^[132]

The film Anand (1971) was originally supposed to star Kishore and Mehmood Ali in the lead.^[133] Hrishikesh Mukherjee, the director of the film, was asked to meet Kishore to discuss the project. Withal, when he went to Kumar's house he was driven abroad by the gatekeeper due to a misunderstanding. Kumar—himself a Bengali—had not been paid for a stage show organized past another Bengali human and had instructed his gatekeeper to bulldoze away this "Bengali", if he ever visited the house. Consequently, Mehmood had to exit the film too, and new actors (Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan) were signed up for the film.^[133]

Many journalists and writers have written about Kumar's seemingly eccentric beliefs.^{[134] [135]} He placed a sign that said "Beware of Kishore" at the door of his Warden Road flat. One time, producer-director H. S. Rawail, who owed him some money, visited his flat to pay the dues. Kumar took the coin and when Rawail offered to shake hands with him, reportedly Kishore put Rawail's hand in his mouth, bit it and asked "Didn't you see the sign?". Rawail laughed off the incident and left speedily.^[130] According to some other reported incident, once Kumar was due to record a song for producer-manager One thousand. P. Sippy. Equally Sippy approached his bungalow, he saw Kumar going out in his car. Sippy asked Kumar to cease his car but Kumar increased his speed. Sippy chased him to Madh Island where Kumar finally stopped his car near the ruined Madh Fort. When Sippy questioned his strange beliefs, Kumar refused to recognize or talk to him and threatened to call the police. The next morning, Kumar reported for the recording session. An angry Sippy questioned him almost his behaviour the previous 24-hour interval but Kumar said that Sippy must have dreamt the incident and said that he was in Khandwa on the previous 24-hour interval.^[136]

One time, a producer went to courtroom to get a decree that Kumar must follow the managing director'due south orders. Every bit a upshot, he obeyed the director to the letter of the alphabet. He refused to alight from his machine until the manager ordered him to do so. Later on filming a automobile scene in Bombay, Kumar drove until he reached Khandala because the managing director forgot to say "Cut".^[130] In the 1960s, a financier named Kalidas Batvabbal, who was disgusted with Kumar's alleged lack of cooperation during the shooting of Half Ticket, reported to the income tax authorities, who raided his house. Subsequently, Kumar invited Batvabbal to his home, asked him to enter a cupboard for a chat and locked him inside. He unlocked Batvabbal after two hours and told him, "Don't ever come to my house once more".^[130]

Kumar was a loner; in a 1985 interview with Pritish Nandy he said that he had no friends—he preferred talking to his trees instead.^[137] In one case, when a reporter made a annotate almost how lonely he must exist, Kumar took her to his garden, named some of the trees there and introduced them to the reporter as his closest friends.^[130]
