Many actors have made their place in Bollywood, but there are some who will be remembered for centuries. One of them was Sanjeev Kumar. He is still remembered for his strong acting and especially for the character of Thakur played in the film 'Sholay'. However, while he achieved a lot of success in his professional life, his personal life was very sad.

Hema Malini had one sided love

Sanjeev Kumar, who worked with the best actresses of his time, fell in love with Hema Malini. During the shooting of 'Sholay', he even proposed to Hema Malini for marriage. But Hema Malini rejected his proposal because she was dating Dharmendra at that time. Sanjeev Kumar was heartbroken by this rejection and he decided not to marry for the rest of his life. His one-sided love left a huge void in his life.

Career beginnings and success

Sanjeev Kumar's film journey started in 1960, when he played a small role in the film 'Hum Hindustani'. However, he got real recognition from the 1970 film 'Khilona', which made him a star. His acting had made a special place in the hearts of the audience. After this, he worked in many hit films like 'Nishan', 'Sholay', 'Trishul'.

Sanjeev Kumar's death prediction

Sanjeev Kumar's life was as colourful as it was tragic. He once joked that he would not be able to live till the age of 50 because the other men in his family did not live till that age. His joke proved to be correct when he had a heart attack on 6 November 1985 at the age of 47 and died. Even after his death, many of his films were released in which the magic of his acting remained intact.
