||||||||||||||||
| Sanjeev Kumar (July 9, 1938 – November 6, 1985) was an Indian actor in Bollywood movies. He was born to a Gujarati family living in a Mumbai slum and after a stint in film school, managed to land roles as B-movie heroes, eventually becoming a star. He gradually gained weight and found himself doing supporting roles rather than playing the lead. In 1985, when he was only forty-seven years old, he died of a heart ailment. He had never married. Sanjeev's first film as a hero was the 1965 Nishana, described as a B-movie swashbuckler. In 1968, he played opposite the famous actor Dilip Kumar in Sanghash. In 1970, Khilona made him a star. He went on to star in the hits Seeta Aur Geeta (1972) and Manchali (1973). He started working with the well-known director Gulzar in the early 1970s. He did nine films for Gulzar, including Aandhi (1975), Mausam (1975), Angoor (1981) and Namkeen (1982). Many of his fans believe that these are some of the best films that he did. He was always ready to take unconventional roles that challenged him as an actor. He played Mirza, a chess-obsessed Lucknowi (citizen of Lucknow), in independent filmmaker Satyajit Ray's Shatranj Ke Khiladi (1977). Perhaps his best-remembered role was his supporting role as Thakur Baldev Singh in the megahit Sholay (1975). | ||||||||||||||||
