Description
Going stirctly by the characters he portrayed on screen, one would struggle to estimate Sanjeev Kumar's age. The veteran slipped into different roles with unusual ease and delivered powerful performances in all his movies. He played the role of Jaya Bhaduri's father in law (Sholay), husband (Koshish), as well as father (Parichay) convincingly. His association with Gulzar worked very well and the duo gave Bollywood gems such as Angoor (inspired by Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors), Mausam, Aandhi, Parichay, Koshish, Namkeen etc. Sanjeev Kumar brought out sensitive portrayals of struggling protagonists very well. He was equally good in roles that required his playing a character older than his real age- in movies such as Trishul, Alaap, Sholay among many others. If one talks about versatility, one cannot not include Sanjeev Kumar. He has left many gems for Bollywood lovers through his vast range of different roles. He was indeed 'The Versatile Veteran' who did not get as much recognition or fame as much as he truly deserved.
