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.

Kishore married Lipika Andrew (Eti) in 1988.{{efn|The sources indicate that Andrew went for song recording at "Don Studio" at the call of director "Ali Hosen" on the day of his marriage. In the movie "Byathar Daan", Andrew Kishore sang to the tune of "Ali Hosen". That movie got censorship certificate on 17 January 1989 and released that year.
