Biography

Harihar Jariwala, affectionately known as Sanjeev Kumar, entered the world in 1938, born into a Gujarati family. This remarkable thespian had a remarkable ability to effortlessly portray a diverse range of roles, transcending age and character type. Over the course of his life, Sanjeev Kumar's physical appearance underwent a significant transformation, largely due to his indulgence in culinary delights inherited from his childhood habit of sleeping in the kitchen. Unfortunately, this fondness ultimately became a contributing factor to his untimely demise in 1985, when he succumbed to a heart-related ailment.

What is truly remarkable about Sanjeev Kumar's career is that he was one of the few actors who did not have to contend with intense competition within the industry. His impressive body of work includes notable performances in films such as Sholay, Parichay, Aandhi, Angoor, and the iconic Shatranj Kay Khiladi, a masterpiece directed by Satyajit Ray.
