Cinemaazi remembers Sanjeev Kumar on his birth anniversary
9 Jul 1937
An actor for all seasons, Sanjeev Kumar shone in a gamut of roles from comedy to drama, with his effortless histrionics. A role model for all aspiring actors, he cared not for glamour nor his image as a star, whether it meant appearing onscreen in his underpants in Thande thande paani se nahana chahiye (Pati Patni Aur Woh, 1978), or cast as father figure to actors who were his contemporaries such as Amitabh Bachchan in Trishul (1978) and Sharmila Tagore in Mausam (1975).
