It is most tragic, for she had her entire old age awaiting her. Taken a little too early.

Character actor Shivraj passes away

Worked in Hindi cinema for 5 decades

Character actor Shivraj, who was one of the most recognisable faces in the Hindi cinema of the 1950s and the 60s, died on Saturday.

“He was an essential element of many films even though he may not have been the most important aspect,” recollects film and music expert Pavan Jha. If the film were to be compared to a car and the hero-heroine to its engine, then Jha likens the veteran actor to the nuts and bolts of the vehicle — not talked about much but of immense value.

Film and history buff K.V. Ramesh remembers seeing him early on in Amiya Chakraborty’s Patita (1953) where he played the young villain, the rich and lustful owner of the poor heroine’s shanty, who rapes her, blackmails her and alters the course of her life forever.

But villainy didn’t stay with him for long. Jha remembers him as an old fakir in M.V. Raman’s Pehli Jhalak (1955) lip-syncing the Hemant Kumar song Zameen chal rahi, aasman chal raha hai. In the prime of his youth, he graduated to playing the old, benign guardian figure or the loyal, obedient manager/servant. A stereotype he couldn’t quite break away from. But it made him part of some iconic films: Amiya Chakraborty’s Seema (1955) where he is the ineffectual uncle Kashinath, with whom Nutan lives initially after her parents’ death. He is Paro’s father, Nilkant, in Bimal Roy’s Devdas (1955). He played a Christian priest in L.V. Prasad’s Miss Mary (1957).

Ramesh remembers him in Naresh Saigal’s Ujala (1959) as the “acharyaji of an orphanage who weans Shammi Kapoor away from crime and supports him in sticking to the straight and narrow path”. He plays Kapoor’s loyal manager in Subodh Mukherjee’s Junglee (1961). Again he plays the devoted diwan (minister) to Kapoor’s prince in K. Shankar’s Raj Kumar (1964), the one who never doubts the prince’s sanity when he is indulging in all kinds of crazy antics to fool his enemies.

Loyal guardian

He is present as the foster father in two of Hindi cinema’s most beloved lost and found epics — in Nasir Hussain’s Yaadon Ki Baraat (1973) as Vijay Arora’s dad and in Manmohan Desai’s Amar Akbar Anthony (1977) where he plays Rishi Kapoor’s father, the kindly tailor Ilahabadi.

Janwar, Bhoot Bangla, Pyaar Kiye Jaa, Mera Saaya, Shagird, Baharon Ke Sapne, Saraswatichandra, Do Raaste, Anamika, Uljhan, Naya Din Nayi Raat, Kasme Vaade, Mard, Aakhir Kyun, Mrityudand — Shivraj acted in many films in a career spanning almost five decades. He was prolific, in the same league then as Nasir Hussain and Nana Palsikar, and is said to have acted in more than 200 films though film website imdb credits him as an actor in 165.

‘Anand’ Actor Sumita Sanyal Passes Away

Veteran actor Sumita Sanyal died on Sunday, July 9, reports news agency ANI. She was 71. She was a well-known name in both the Bengali and Hindi film industries. In Bollywood, she is best remembered for her roles in the Amitabh Bachchan and Rajesh Khanna-starrer Anand and Mere Apne with Vinod Khanna.

Sanyal was married to editor Subodh Roy and is survived by a son.


Sumita Sanyal had meaty roles in some well known films.

Sagina Mahato (Bengali; Hero: Dilip Kumar)
Annand (Female lead with Amitabh)
Mere Apne (Vinod Khanna, Meena Kumari)
Aashirwad (Ashok Kumar)
Guddi (Dharminder, Jaya Bhaduri Bachchan)

And, many Bengali movies.

IMDB lists about 20 films to her credit, but I think she acted in many more.

JERRY LEWIS

Not a Bollywood, but a very famous, popular, likable Hollywood personality Jerry Lewis passed away on Sunday Aug 20. I'm sure we all at zulm knew Jerry Lewis.

Jerry Lewis, a Jester Both Silly and Stormy, Dies at 91


Jerry Lewis, the comedian and filmmaker who was adored by many, disdained by others, but unquestionably a defining figure of American entertainment in the 20th century, died on Sunday morning at his home in Las Vegas. He was 91.

His death was confirmed by his publicist, Candi Cazau.

Mr. Lewis knew success in movies, on television, in nightclubs, on the Broadway stage and in the university lecture hall. His career had its ups and downs, but when it was at its zenith there were few stars any bigger. And he got there remarkably quickly.

As a spokesman for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Mr. Lewis raised vast sums for charity; as a filmmaker of great personal force and technical skill, he made many contributions to the industry, including the invention in 1960 of a device — the video assist, which allowed directors to review their work immediately on the set — still in common use.

Bollywood actress Shakila passes away
Actress Shakila passed away on Wednesday evening after a heart attack at the age of 82. The funeral was held on Thursday morning at the Mahim cemetery in Mumbai.

Yesteryear Bollywood actress Shakila, best known for her roles in ‘Aar Par’ and ‘CID’, passed away on Wednesday evening after a massive heart attack. She was 82.

Shakila’s nephew Nasirr Khan took to Facebook to share the sad news. He wrote, “With a heavy heart I have to inform you all that my maternal aunt (my moms older sister) Shakila Aunty has passed away.

Talking to indianexpress.com, Nasirr, who is veteran actor Johnny Walker’s son, said, “Because of her age, she had kidney problems. She was diabetic. Recently, she had some cardiac problems also. All these things led to her demise. She passed away last night. As we can’t wait too long for funeral in Islam, the burial happened today early in the morning.”

He also added, “She was a very jovial person, and because she and my dad worked together in Aar Par, they would talk a lot about cinema. On the film’s set my dad met her younger sister Noorjahan, and the two got married. Shakila aunty was very happy with the work she did, and was a content person. We will miss her much.”

The funeral was held on Thursday morning at the Mahim cemetery in Mumbai.

Aar Paar actor Shyama dies at 82
Veteran actor Shyama who is known for her role in Guru Dutt's classic Aar Paar passed away on November 14.

Veteran Bollywood actor Shyama passed away on the morning of November 14 at the age of 82. Her daughter Shirrin told indianexpress.com that her mother was suffering from a lung infection, and her health deteriorated further because of that. The cremation took place at 2.30 pm at Marine Lines in Mumbai today.

The actress was known for her roles in movies like Aar Paar, Barsaat Ki Raat, Sawan Bhadon, Milan and Sharada. In a more than four-decades-long career, Shyama acted in about 175 movies. She won the Filmfare Award Best Supporting Actress award for her performance in Sharada.

Born as Khurshid Akhtar, Shayam was given her the stage name by director Vijay Bhatt. Shyama got married to cinematographer Fali Mistry in 1953. The couple had three children, including two sons – Faroukh and Rohin.



Anyone remember the 1961 color film ZABAK, in the Black&White era. Very Melodious Song: Teri Duniya Se Door, Chale Hoke Majboor, Hamein Yaad Rakhna.
Shyama was the Heroin in that film. Perhaps this was her last film as a heroin and after that mostly major supporting roles.
