Here’s a bit of trivia for you—the actor Shekhar Purohit is actually the son, and his brother Suraj also tried his hand at acting. Suraj starred opposite Jaya Bhadhuri in the classic film Bawarchi, which, by the way, is one of those movies everyone’s mom has probably watched like a dozen times. The family’s pretty much woven into the fabric of Bollywood’s older days, you know? It’s wild how both brothers ended up in the industry, each carving their own path. People often forget these little connections, but honestly, they give the films a kind of legacy feel. Bawarchi itself is packed with legendary performances and quirky characters, and knowing Suraj was part of it just adds another layer to the whole thing. So yeah, next time someone brings up Bawarchi, remember there’s this cool sibling connection running through the cast. Bollywood really does love a good family story, both on screen and off.
