Cinemaazi remembers Jagdeep on his death anniversary

Born as Syed Ishtiaq Ahmed Jaffrey, Jagdeep’s life story plays out like a rags to riches story. He found himself in front of the camera as a child artist coincidentally when he was chosen to deliver a dialogue in B R Chopra’s Afsana (1951). His role of Lallu Ustaad in Bimal Roy’s Do Bigha Zameen (1953) enchanted the Russian audience so much so that he received a red scarf as a gift from them. Jagdeep is popular for films such Bhabhi (1957), Barkha (1959), Junglee (1961), Apna Desh (1972), Sholay (1975), Tarana (1979), and Andaz Apna Apna (1994). He passed away on 8 July, 2020 in Bombay. Cinemaazi remembers him on his first death anniversary.
