Kishore Kumar Birth Anniversary: Javed Akhtar says there will be no one like ‘Kishore Da’; wonders ‘if any performer is missed with such intensity’
August 4th marks the 95th birth anniversary of the legendary singer and the world has joined the bandwagon of celebrating his mastery on this day. Javed Akhtar is one among them who has penned a special note about him. The veteran lyricist took to his X handle and wondered if there was anyone who was missed as badly as him.
Akhtar tweeted, “Today is Kishoreda’s birth anniversary, I wonder if in the show business all over the world even after so many years any performer is missed by so many with such intensity. Kishoreda aap jaisa tha no hai na hoga.” This was the same line Javed tweeted earlier as well about Kishore da. In its extension, he had written, “Kishore da millions and millions miss you almost every day and I am one of them.”
Several users took to his thread and shared their thoughts as well. One user wrote how on point Javed was with his thoughts. Another user asserted that Kishore Kumar had a unique quality and that his voice became like that of the hero for whom he sang. “When singing for Dev Anand or Rajesh Khanna, it felt as if they themselves were singing. When he sings for Amitabh Bachchan, it seems as if Amitabh himself is singing,” he said.
Born as Abhas Kumar Ganguly, Kishore Kumar was one of the greatest, most influential, and most dynamic singers in the history of Indian music. His yodeling and ability to sing songs in different voices were globally acclaimed. Kumar sang across many languages including Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Assamese, Gujarati, Kannada, Bhojpuri, Malayalam, Odia, and Urdu. On October 13, 1987, which was also his brother Ashok Kumar’s 76th birthday, Kishore da died of a heart attack in Bombay.
He recorded his last song Guru Guru for the movie Waqt Ki Awaz (1988) just one day before his death alongside Asha Bhosle under the composition of Bappi Lahiri. In 2012, his other unreleased last song was eventually sold for ₹15.6 lakh at the Osian’s Cinefan Auction in New Delhi.

Adele Stops Munich Concert To Screen Olympics Women’s 100M Final Featuring Sha’Carri Richardson; SEE HERE
Adele paused singing at her Munich show to air the Olympics! On her second night at the residency dubbed as Adele in Munich, she stopped the concert for some time to broadcast the Olympic women’s 100-meter finals on huge screens placed at Messe München’s outdoor arena, which can accommodate around 80,000 people.
The crowd was taken aback only momentarily before getting engrossed as they watched the race play out on the big screens.
The silver medal went to Team USA’s Sha’Carri Richardson, who clocked 10.87 seconds, with teammate Melissa Jefferson securing bronze at 10.92 seconds. Julien Alfred from Saint Lucia finished first in 10.72 seconds, thus securing her country’s first-ever Olympic gold medal.

The concert venue has an interactive outdoor experience called ‘Adele World,’ which includes a Ferris wheel, a genuine English pub, and an “I Drink Wine” bar named after her song, thereby increasing entertainment options available during concerts.
The Oscar winner will return to Las Vegas in October for another edition of her ‘Weekends with Adele’ residency after completing her German tour. After these next shows, however, she has plans for a long break that may last a couple of years. She said to ZDF public broadcast service in Germany, “I don’t have any plans for new music at all. I want a big break after this and I think I want to do other creative things, just for a little while.”
Her latest album, 30, dropped in 2021, climbing to the top of multiple music charts. Though there shall be no new music from her end anytime soon, fans are currently occupied by showering praises at her online for screening the Olympics mid-show. One fan said, “ADELE IS SO REAL FOR THIS!!!!!!” while another noted, “It was not only for her, but she did it for her fans.” Another fan commented, “This is the level of support all women should have for each other.”
