Amirbai Karnataki

[Surjit Singh]

Hi RMIMers:

Here is some info on Amirbai from Har Mandir Singh Hamraaz.

"
Ahilya Bai Karnataki was the elder sister of Amir Bai Karnataki and
Gauhar Bai Karnataki was perhaps the youngest. All these were singer
sisters.
Amir Bai was married to Actor Himalayawala who acted in forties. He
was the son of a millionaire but he married ABK when he fell in love
with her. Himalayawala's father was not happy with this marriage and
therefore, he kicked out Himalayawala. As Himalayawala was running out
of funds most of the time, he exploited ABK heavily to play gambling. He
spent on liquor, etc. also. He used to beat ABK frequently. Having been
fed up with Himalayawala, ABK decided to part with. Ahilya Bai helped
her to take divorce. Famous lawyer brothers, Chhel Shanker Vyas and
Rasiklal Vyas helped her in divorce case. Later on, she married Badri
Kanchwala, a Gujarati Journalist.
An autographed photo of ABK is still preserved by one of the lawyer
brother Rasiklal Vyas who belonged to Lohana Pauri, Mangnath Road,
Junagadh, Gujarat. Later on, Rasiklal shifted to USA.
As per information available, ABK is said to have died around 1965.
