  • Of course, my parents have inspired me since my childhood. They are my idols. My mother never blamed others for anything, rather she always tried to cope with the difficult situations with dignity and poise, and my father's caring, steadfast and disciplined lifestyle has always inspired me to perfect my craft, even at this point of my life. I have also been inspired by the late great Ustad Abdul Aziz Bachchu. He was always a very talented and skilled artist, who was never afraid to let his voice be heard, even in times of crisis, to show his support of the arts. He was also a great teacher, and had incredible eye for identifying not only the hidden talent a student possessed, but how that potential could be tapped into. Last, but certainly not least, I have always been inspired by the great music director, Alam Khan. He has been a great teacher and a great friend all these years, and even after all these years of working with him, I am still in awe of his genius. (en)
  • "The name in my certificates was not Andrew Kishore. There was Andrew Kishore Kumar Baroi. One day director Dewan Nazrul told me that my name is very big. According to him commercially my full name had no value! He also said that most of the stars of the world have used two words because their names are big. Such as Elvis Presley, Lata Mungeshkar, Uttam Kumar, Mohammad Rafi, Kishore Kumar all have two words in their names. So the director suggested using two-word names. Then I decided to shorten my name as Andrew Kishore." (en)
