Gabbar, my dear friend is still somewhere near my heart

Had a meeting with Union Minister of INB Shri HKL Bhagat. And when it was Amjad’s turn to speak, he opened his words by saying, “How will these ministers listen to us, they don’t even listen to them and they can’t even be seen, look here people are speaking and our great ministers are going through their dark glasses. sleeping behind.” That line woke the minister but he also got very angry and took revenge on Amjad when he created big problems for his movies ‘Police Chor’ and ‘Amir Aadmi Garib Aadmi’.

Amjad and Amitabh were best friends. They were doing many films together. ‘The Great Gambler’ was one of them. They were shooting a film in Goa and one evening when the shooting was not happening, they decided to go for a drive. Amjad was driving the Mercedes and Amitabh was sitting next to him. Suddenly there was some technical fault in the car and he collided with another big car and surprisingly nothing happened to Amitabh, but Amjad had broken all the bones in his chest as the steering pierced his chest. Goa Medical Hospital could not do much and Amjad was taken to Bombay and admitted to Nanavati Hospital where he had to spend several months. And when he returned from the hospital, he had gained so much weight that the filmmakers started removing him from their projects. The only filmmaker who waited for him to recover and later cast him was Satyajit Ray who eventually made “Shatranj Ke Khiladi” his first Hindi film with Sanjeev Kumar, Amjad and Shabana Azmi.
