I guess everyone knows Sanjeev kumar aka Hari Bhai,” Doctor Kumar” and Guru Dutt, “a man ahead of his time”…And I will tell their popularity is even more increasing in recent years tremendously…
Life doesn’t give what you want….. Guru Dutt had a plagued marriage/Love life and Sanjeev Kumar was turned down by the lady he loved so much….. Guru Dutt was unlucky as there was no one to support him… ..not even Waheeda Rahman…. Sanjeev Kumar might have been luckier. There was someone who loved him… Sulakshna Pandit….. But he turned her down. He didn’t give his life an opportunity…. Ironically for an actor who played many elderly roles, he did not live to the age of 50….
They always say… “marry someone who loves you… not the one whom you love…” but sometimes you don’t hear what you yourself say to the world…
Guru Dutt was a successful director… producer and actor, and was married to singer Geeta Roy…. Things were fine till he met Waheeda Rehman….. as she never loved him.. ….. The mounting closeness between the two led to problems in his marital life…..He said.. "Life mein, yaar, kya hai? Do hi toh cheezen hain…. kamyaabi aur failure….. "Dekho na, mujhe director banna tha, director ban gaya; actor bana tha, actor ban gaya; picture achche banane thay, achche banay. Paisa hai, sab kuch hai, par kuch bhi nahi raha……
Guru Dutt was the man who knew that success was just a bunch of paper flowers and turned his back at the circus of fame with an insolent,…Yeh Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaaye Toh Kya Hai could not apparently bear the absence of validation, personal and professional..
His movie like Pyaasa was rated as one of the best 100 films of all time by Time Magazine. In the 2002 Sight & Sound critics' and directors' poll, two of his films, Pyaasa and Kaagaz Ke Phool, were among the top 160 greatest films of all time. The same 2002 Sight & Sound poll ranked Dutt at #73 in its list of all-time greatest directors, thus making him the eighth highest-ranking Asian filmmaker in the poll…
Guru Dutt had achieved everything he ever wanted and yet, he felt empty..as if he had nothing. There was a sense of loss that perhaps these lines by poet and lyricist Kaifi Azmi summed up..‘Dekhi zamane ki yaari..bichde sabhi baari baari…kya leke mile ab duniya se..ansoo ke siva kuch paas nahi..ya phool hi phool the daman mein ya kanton kii bhi aas nahin…’ Guru Dutt attempted suicide thrice and he was luckier for the third time….
Hmmm….Can you imagine Shah Rukh Khan or Hrithik Roshan or any one other arriving at the shoot in a kurta-pyjama, but Sanjeev Kumar used to come…. He was a simple man who cared less about the awareness of other people….. Many argued that he was famous as 'late latif Hari Bhai'… because of his habit of coming late on the sets. However, his one take performance used to reimburse for all… Sanjeev had a very distinct style of working. He never gave a retake, until he wanted to.
It is amazing how he could skilfully move from a flirtatious husband in Pati Patni Aur Woh to the tearful lover in Anamika. When it comes to comedy, one can only think of Sanjeev Kumar. No other actor could excel at comedy like him. He was so hilarious in Angoor.
He was given the coveted National Award for his brilliant performance in Dastak and Koshish. From the stage to an actor in the crowd, to stunt films, to National Awards for acting is a long way up the ladder which Sanjeev Kumar managed. He was an actor to grab every opportunity and to give it his best.
Sanjeev kumar led a Bachelor life and died of heart attack….but the reason behind his decision of being bachelor for the whole is still mystery. It isn’t that he did find a match for himself. His name was associated with Hema Malini and he too was in deep love with her, it’s being believed that he loved her so deeply that he was not able to love anyone else. Sanjeev Kumar even proposed Hema Mailini but she refused his proposal and got married to Dharmendra. This was a major setback for him. After his break up with Sulakshana Pandit he decided to lead a bachelor life. No, one in the industry knew what he was going through…
Sanjeev Kumar he was really a man of substance and lived for others for his whole life. Making one of his songs really true Apne liye jiyen to kya jiye tu jee ae dil zamaane ke liye
