&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life{{anchor|Beginning}}==&lt;br /&gt;
Amit Kumar Ganguly is the son of singer and actor [[Kishore Kumar]] and Bengali singer and actress [[Ruma Guha Thakurta]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |last1=D |first1=Johnny |title=Star couples search for love |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/india/star-couples-search-for-love/story-T7ea003jeYw3bXolKDbzlJ.html |publisher=HindustanTimes.com |access-date=25 December 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Like his father, Amit started singing from an early age and he used to sing at [[Durga Pooja]] festivals in [[Kolkata|Calcutta]]. At one such function arranged by legendary Bengali actor &amp;quot;Mahanayak&amp;quot; [[Uttam Kumar]], the audience continued requesting encores. While his mother complained that he was singing &amp;quot;filmy&amp;quot; songs, his father decided to bring him to Bombay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kishore Kumar had cast Amit as his son in two films that he produced. In the first, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Door Gagan Ki Chhaon Mein&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/blast-from-the-past-door-gagan-ki-chhaon-mein-1964/article3476634.ece |title=Blast From The Past: Door Gagan Ki Chhaon Mein (1964) |author=VIJAY LOKAPALLY |work=The Hindu}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; he sang &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Aa Chalke Tujhe, Mein Leke Chaloon&amp;#039;&amp;#039; to his eleven-year-old son. For the second film, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Door Ka Raahi]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, a teenage Amit Kumar sang &amp;quot;Main Ik Panchi Matwaala Re&amp;quot;, but it was removed from the final cut of the film.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early 1970s===&lt;br /&gt;
Amit Kumar sang professionally for the first time, outside his father&amp;#039;s composition, at the age of 21 in 1973. The song was &amp;quot;Hosh Mein Hum Kahan&amp;quot;, composed by Sapan Jagmohan for the film &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Darwaza&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, which was released in 1978.Officially his first released song was in Main Bhi Akela Hoon from the 1974 film Zindagi Aur Toofan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
