Sajjan

Born smack-dab in the heart of Jaipur on January 15, 1921, Sajjan just had that old-school charm people can’t fake. You probably know him from those classic films people still rave about—Kabuliwala from ‘61, Talaaq in ‘58, and then Raksha, which hit theaters in 1981. Dude had this knack for slipping into roles that stuck with you, whether he was playing the wise, world-weary soul or just the everyman caught up in all sorts of mess. Sajjan’s acting wasn’t about the flash or drama; it was all about subtlety, the kind of performances that sneak up on you and kind of haunt you long after the credits roll. Off-camera, he was apparently a bit of a mystery, keeping his private life as low-key as possible—no crazy headlines, no scandals, just pure dedication to the craft. Looking back, the guy saw India change right before his eyes—from the wild 1940s all the way to the new millennium. Through it all, his work in Bollywood just kept rolling, whether he was supporting the main act or giving a leading turn. He passed away on May 17, 2000, but his film legacy? Still hanging around, still popping up on those late-night reruns when you least expect it. There’s something timeless about his screen presence; maybe that’s why people still talk about him like he never really left.

    • Trivia:

      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.
