Veteran actor Dharmendra spoke about his association with late actor Jagdeep, recalling their most famous film together, Sholay.
Dharmendra pays tribute to the late actor Jagdeep. He went down the memory lane to recall his association with late actor Jagdeep, saying it was not easy to make people laugh, something the veteran actor excelled in. Jagdeep died at the age of 81 on Wednesday.
He said: “I believe playing a comedian is lot more difficult than a tragic hero because it’s not easy t make someone laugh. But Jagdeep saab could make even someone who was crying laugh. Few are blessed with such talent.
Dharmendra mentioned how Jagdeep was already an established star when he entered the film industry. He said that such was their friendship that years ago when Jagdeep requested Dharmedra to appear in his production, 1988 Soorma Bhopali (which he also directed), Dharmendra immediately agreed.
The actor regretted the fact that the pandemic had prevented people from meeting each other and that he would visit the family after the pandemic was over. He also mentioned how Jagdeep had a passion for collecting old coins; the comedian had given one to Dharmendra too.
