This veteran actor left an unforgettable impression in the hearts of cinema lovers by entering the film industry in the 1960s. For three decades, everything from his acting to his characters remained remarkable among the people and even today people remember him for his excellent work. He had even left behind star power like Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor in popularity at that time. Today, there is hardly anyone who does not know the superstar about whom we are going to tell. This was the period when Hindi cinema was full of great stars like Rajesh Khanna, Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna, Shashi Kapoor, Jeetendra and Shatrughan Sinha. Nevertheless, this veteran actor played out-of-the-box characters and proved himself.
The first actor to predict death
This actor is none other than Sanjeev Kumar who is still remembered as the best star of Hindi cinema. He was famous for his brilliant and powerful acting skills. Sanjeev Kumar, born in Surat, said goodbye to the world at the age of just 47. He had already predicted his death that he would not be able to live more than 50 years. Actress Tabassum had revealed this in an interview given to Navbharat that Sanjeev himself had predicted his death. The surprising thing was that Sanjeev did not marry only because he had heart disease and most of the people in his family died at the age of about 50. Even today he is in the news for predicting his death.

When played 9 characters in one film
Where most of the actors sweat while playing double role. Whereas Sanjeev Kumar had made a record in Bollywood by playing 9 different characters in the same film. He played nine different roles in the 1974 film ‘Naya Din Nayi Raat’. The audience eagerly waited for Sanjeev Kumar’s films and there was a time when his acting even left behind the stardom of Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor. This happened during the release of ‘Trishul’ in 1978 when all three actors were seen together on screen. Amitabh and Shashi were shocked to see their fan base.
