After knowing about the same, Kishore left her at parent's house as he thought he could not take care of her due to his busy shooting life. Reportedly Madhubala wanted Kumar's support and love and such times. Kumar bought a flat at QuarterDect, Catter Road, but she would be alone most of the time. Kishore would visit her once in two months, and she was confined to bed for nine years. She breathed her last on February 23, 1969. Apparently, they had no children.
