At that time, I didn't know what he said would turn out to be true (laughs)," revealed Leena Chandavarkar."Coming back to the story, when I first met Kishore Kumar, the first thing he told me was that if I was looking out to settle down in life, he is ready with a proposal. At first, I didn't realize what he was talking about, but he went on to clarify that he wanted to marry me. I was actually shocked when he said that, but I rejected his proposal immediately," added the veteran actress.Continuing the story, Leena added, "After a few weeks, I had an argument with my father when he called me a 'musibat'. I was so angry and hurt that I decided to leave my house and get married to someone and live my life. I still remember going to Carter Road (Mumbai) and calling Kishore Ji. I asked him if his proposal was still available, and if it was yes, I was ready to get married to him and that's how we decided to get married."Read all the Latest News, Trending News, Cricket News, Bollywood News, India News and Entertainment News here.
