Kumkum was the main subject of the internationally broadcast documentary Viva Bengali, written by her daughter. Her talents include speaking several different languages (English, Bengali, Hindi, Punjabi and a dash of French) and making the best butter chicken. She continues to act in films and is known to break out into a dance number anytime she hears good music!
