Jagdeep actor dies – The Hindu

 


Veteran actor Jagdeep, whose paan stained smile and mischievous eyes like Soorma Bhopali in Sholay made him popular from generation to generation, died Wednesday at his residence. He was 81 years old.

The actor was not well, said producer Mehmood Ali, a family friend. PTI.

He died at 8:30 p.m. in his Bandra residence. He was not doing well due to age-related problems, said Ali.

Jagdeep will be buried Thursday in a cemetery in southern Mumbai around 11:30 am, he added.

Last of the comic icons in the tradition of seniors Johnny Walker and Mehmood, the actor had a prolific career that lasted beyond 400 films and many memorable roles.

Jagdeep, whose real name was Syed Ishtiaq Ahmed Jafri, began his journey to the cinema with the 1951 film Afsana, which marked the debut of director BR Chopras.

It was a story rich in rags for the child Jagdeep, whose family fortune declined after the death of his father and the partition.

During the interviews, he recalled how his mother, formerly used to servants and other luxuries, raised him while working as a cook in an orphanage.

The young Jagdeep was eager to help him and at the age of six or seven, he landed on the plateaux of Afsana after being spotted on the streets of Mumbai.

The role promised him three rubies as fees, which was doubled when the young actor was able to start a dialogue.

Recalling his father’s trip to the movies, his actor son Jaaved Jaaferi once said that Jagdeep was destined to be part of show business.

My father was a child when he was looking for a job after the partition. When someone asked him if he wanted to work in movies, he said that he only needed a job. He was chosen on the street to act in a film as a child actor. He was destined to be in the industry, it was destiny, said Jaaferi PTI in a recent interview.

After Afsana, Jagdeep continued to land big and small roles with great directors like KA Abbas in Munna, Guru Dutt in Aar Paar and Bimal Roy in Do Bigha Zamin.

Over the years, he has become a main star with Bhabhi and Barkha, but it was Bramachari, the star of Shammi Kapoor, in 1968, who launched him in his acting career, whose comic timing, the big smile , the unique voice and the facial expressions made its presence compulsory in films thereafter.

Jagdeep has had a prolific career, but it was his role as Soorma Bhopali in the Sholay blockbuster of 1975 which became truly emblematic thanks to the Bhopali touch in the Salim-Javed dialogue, Hamara naam Soorma Bhopali aisei nahi hai. The role became so popular that Soorma Bhopali became a second screen nickname for the actor.

Although dabbled in comic roles, Jagdeep knew how to make people smile through his performances, be it traditional Bollywood films, the horror film by Ramsay Brothers Purana Mandir or the cult comedy Andaz Apna Apna where he played the Salman Khan’s father, Bankelal Bhopali, perhaps a tip hat for his role as Sholay.

Actors Ajay Devgn, Manoj Bajpayee, Ayushmaan Khurrana, Sanjay Mishra, Johnny Lever and director Hansal Mehta visited social networks to pay tribute to the great artist who made everyone laugh with his roles.

Devgn, who worked with Jagdeep in his first Bollywood film in 1991, Phool Aur Kaante, said he always enjoyed watching the lead actor on the screen.

He brought so much joy to the audience. My sincere condolences to Jaaved and to all the members of the family. Pray for the soul of Jagdeep Saabs, he added.

Thank you for all the memories I have of watching your films and performances in my childhood !! We will miss you all !! Family condolences! said Bajpayee.

Lever, a famous comedian himself, remembered his first film Ye Rishta Na Toote in which he faced the camera with Jagdeep.

We will miss you … May his soul rest in peace. Our prayers and our deepest condolences to the family, he tweeted.

Mehta said the veteran actor will always be cherished and remembered with a broad smile.

I hope people can see a movie called Muskurahat by Priyadarshan sir to testify to its brilliance. It’s one of my favorite Jagdeep saahab performances, said the director.

Khurrana said Jagdeeps’ contribution to the industry will be remembered.

Thanks for the laughs. Thank you for the memories, he added.

I love a lot of movies because of you Jagdeep sir but I don’t like how you left us today #SoormaBhopali, you devoted (your) whole life to Hindi cinema. You are #Kaamyaab, said Mishra.

Jagdeep also directed the film Soorma Bhopali with his character as the protagonist.

He is survived by his sons – actor Jaaved and producer Naved.

Her grandson Meezaan got her start as an actor with the Malaal production of Sanjay Leela Bhansalis last year.

In an interview with PTI recently, Meezaan had called his grandfather a Diwali firework.

It looks so much like the way you see it on the screen: fun, energetic and positive. I had a lot of conversations about the film industry with my grandfather, who told me stories, his filming experiences more than my father, said the actor.

Jagdeep is gone but for countless fans, there will forever be Soorma Bhopali, the storyteller of fun stories.
