Comic actor Jagdeep is remembered for his hilarious turns in films such as Sholay, Roti, Ek Baar Kaho and many others. Not many know that he started out as a child actor and also acted as the lead or second lead in a handful of movies. Several popular songs were filmed on him; some he also lipsynced. Here’s a small, select list:
1.Pehle Tha Bhajiya Pao Bhi Mushqil (film: Morcha, 1980): The video is not available online but the film is on YouTube. The fun duet comes after 57 minutes
2. Pyar Kiya To Pyar Nibhana (film: Pyaar Ki Baazi, 1967): A frisky track where an energetic Jagdeep shows his felicity with the feet
3. Mere Mehboob Na Jaa Aaj Ki Raat Na (film: Noor Mahal, 1965): A haunting melody composed by Jani Babu Qawwal. One of Suman Kalyanpur’s best. Jagdeep is the bewildered onlooker
4. Paas Baitho Tabiyat Bahal Jaeygi (film: Punarmilan, 1964): A passionate love track by Rafi. Among composer C Arjun’s most-remembered numbers. Jagdeep as never seen before
5. Chali Chali Re Patang Meri Chali Re (film: Bhabhi, 1957): Another winsome melody that remains popular to this day.
