"Mast Baharon Ka Main Aashiq" - what a perfect song choice for the post! Jackie dada always has that old-school charm and respect. Two legends, one frame. Love to see it. Wishing Jeetendra sir a long and healthy life.

Respectfully, the article spends a bit too much on the personal lives of the children. The focus should be on Jeetendra's incredible film legacy. He was the original dancing star! But a very sweet wish from Jackie.
