He also acted in more than 275 movies and more than 30 Bengali dramas. Let us know some special things about Ashok Kumar Saheb.

Ashok Kumar was born on October 13, 1911 in Bhagalpur Bihar. His name was 'Kumudlal Ganguly' at birth and he was fondly called 'Dadamuni (elder brother) in the world of cinema.' Ashok Kumar's father Kunjlal Ganguly was an advocate and his mother was a domestic woman. Ashok was the eldest boy of the house followed by his sister Sati Devi and brothers Kishore Kumar and Anup Kumar.

Ashok Kumar had a dream of working in the world of cinema since childhood but not as an actor but as a technician. In those days, Ashok Kumar's brother-in-law Sashadhar Mukherjee worked as a high-rise in Bombay Talkies in Mumbai, which led to Ashok Kumar coming to Mumbai and working as a lab assistant in Bombay Talkies. Even before the shooting of the 1936 Bombay Talkies movie 'Jeevan Naya' began, there were differences between its lead actors Devika Rani and Najmul Hasan, which led to the film's producer Himanshu Rai calling Kumudlal (Ashok Kumar) to the film instead of Najmul, though the director of the movie was unhappy, But still Himanshu took him to the movie and for the first time Kumudlal Ganguly's screen name was named 'Ashok Kumar' as the stars did not reveal their real name on screen in those days.
