........................... Kishore Kumar famously arrived on a film set with makeup on only one side of his face, telling the director "Aadha paisa to aadha make-up" (Half payment, half makeup). This incident reflects his legendary, eccentric demand for upfront payments to avoid industry payment delays.
Key details regarding this incident and his financial habits:
- The Incident: When a producer failed to make full payments, Kishore Kumar applied makeup to only one side of his face.
- The Dialogue: He famously told the director, "Aadha paisa to aadha make-up" (Half payment, half make-up).
- Motivation: Kishore Kumar was highly particular about being paid in advance and would often not start work until his secretary confirmed receipt of payment.
- Other Incidents: He was known for other antics, such as shouting "Hey Talwar, de de mere aath hazaar" (Hey Talwar, give me my eight thousand) at a producer's house, or driving to Khandala because the director forgot to say "Cut".
This behavior was, in part, a protective measure against the industry's common practice of payment delays during his time
