Fan built Kishore Kumar's temple: Let us tell you that there is a house named Gauri Kunj near the State Bank located in Bombay Bazaar, Khandwa, in which Kishore Kumar was born on 4 August 1929. Due to lack of maintenance, that house has taken the form of ruins today.

Where Kishore Kumar is worshiped every day.
On 4th August, Sanjay Pancholia bows to the picture of his idol Kishore Kumar and completely immerses himself in the practice of music. Here other artists are also seen coming and humming the songs of Kishore Kumar. Kishore lover Sanjay Pancholia has dedicated a part of his house in the name of Kishore da. Here he has prepared a unique music system worth about 1.25 lakh rupees. Through this system, he and other teenage lovers perform songs daily. This trend has been going on for about ten years.
Unique collection of Kishore Premi: Let us tell you that at around 9 o'clock in the night, the gathering of lyricists starts at this music studio in Bombay Bazaar.

Kishore Kumar's house turned into ruins: If reports are to be believed, Sanjay Pancholia has to say that when Kishore Kumar came to Khandwa, he also stayed with him for a few moments. He wanted to settle in Khandwa only. When Kishore Kumar came to Khandwa, he used to stay in his own house. But this house has now become dilapidated. Many times in the past, there have been demands to make Kishore Kumar's ancestral residence a memorial. After all, who is responsible for all these things?
