Kumudlal was the eldest of four children. His only sister, Sati Devi, a few years younger than him, was married at a very young age to <a href="/wiki/Sashadhar_Mukherjee" title="Sashadhar Mukherjee">Sashadhar Mukherjee</a> and became the matriarch of <a href="/wiki/Mukherjee-Samarth_family" title="Mukherjee-Samarth family">a large "film family"</a>. Next was his brother, <a href="/wiki/Anoop_Kumar" title="Anoop Kumar">Kalyan</a>, 16 years younger (b.1927), who later took the screen name <a href="/wiki/Anoop_Kumar" title="Anoop Kumar">Anoop Kumar</a>. Youngest of all was <a href="/wiki/Kishore_Kumar" title="Kishore Kumar">Abhas</a> (b.1929), whose screen name was <a href="/wiki/Kishore_Kumar" title="Kishore Kumar">Kishore Kumar</a>, who became a phenomenally successful playback singer in Hindi films. Although the eldest by several years, Kumudlal outlived all his siblings. In fact, he stopped celebrating his birthday after his youngest brother, Kishore, died on that day in 1987. While still a teenager and well before he had even given thought to a career in films, the young Kumudlal was married to Shobha (a first cousin of actress <a href="/wiki/Chhaya_Devi" title="Chhaya Devi">Chhaya Devi</a>), a girl of his own <a href="/wiki/Bengali_Brahmin" title="Bengali Brahmin">Bengali Brahmin</a> community and similar family background, in a match arranged by their parents in the usual Indian way.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> Their lifelong marriage was a harmonious and conventional one, and despite his film career, the couple retained a very middle-class outlook and value system, bringing up their children with traditional values in a remarkably simple home. They were the parents of one son, Aroop Ganguly, and three daughters named Bharati Patel, Rupa Verma and <a href="/wiki/Preeti_Ganguly" title="Preeti Ganguly">Preeti Ganguly</a>. Aroop Kumar Ganguly worked in only one film, appearing as a hero in Bezubaan (1962), which flopped at the box office. He then made a career in the corporate world. The eldest daughter, Bharati Patel, is the mother of the actress <a href="/wiki/Anuradha_Patel" title="Anuradha Patel">Anuradha Patel</a>. His second eldest daughter, Rupa Ganguly, is a former actress and widow of actor-comedian <a href="/wiki/Deven_Verma" title="Deven Verma">Deven Verma</a>.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> The youngest daughter, <a href="/wiki/Preeti_Ganguly" title="Preeti Ganguly">Preeti Ganguly</a> acted as a comedienne in several Hindi films during the 1970s and 1980s and died unmarried in 2012.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> Kumudlal's daughter Bharati married twice. Her first marriage was to Dr. Veerendra Patel, a Gujarati doctor. Through this marriage, she had two sons, Rahul and Rohit, and one daughter, the actress <a href="/wiki/Anuradha_Patel" title="Anuradha Patel">Anuradha Patel</a>, who is married to the actor <a href="/wiki/Kanwaljit_Singh_(actor)" title="Kanwaljit Singh (actor)">Kanwaljit Singh</a>. Later, and much against the wishes of all her relatives, Bharati married Hameed Jaffrey, a Muslim, the brother of the actor <a href="/wiki/Saeed_Jaffrey" title="Saeed Jaffrey">Saeed Jaffrey</a>.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> By this second marriage, Bharati had one son, Saahil, and also acquired step-daughters, Geneviève and Shaheen, who were Hameed's daughters by his first wife Valerie Salway, a woman of Scottish, Irish, Portuguese and Spanish heritage.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> Geneviève married a <a href="/wiki/Sindhi_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Sindhi people">Sindhi</a> businessman named Jagdeep Advani. Their daughter is actress <a href="/wiki/Kiara_Advani" title="Kiara Advani">Kiara Advani</a>.<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> Thus, Ashok Kumar has no blood relationship with Kiara Advani but he is related to her in her family tree. In all, Kumar had eight biological grandchildren - Bharati's four children Rahul, Rohit, Anuradha and Saahil, and Aroop's four children Rishi, Mihir, Tushar and Somdatta (from his marriage to Nirmala Ganguly), in addition to his step-granddaughters Geneviève and Shaheen. Kumar was educated at <a href="/wiki/Presidency_College,_Kolkata" class="mw-redirect" title="Presidency College, Kolkata">Presidency College of the University of Calcutta</a>, Kolkata, where he studied to become a lawyer. However, his heart was not in his law studies.
