Respect for Tusshar for acknowledging his dad's legacy. Jeetendra's filmography is incredible - Farz, Caravan, Himmatwala... these were the movies of our childhood. Modern actors should learn this kind of humility and family bonding.
Honestly, while it's a nice post, it feels a bit like a PR move. If you really miss your father's birthday, maybe try to adjust your schedule? Our elders won't be around forever. Just my two cents.
The Kapoor family is such an integral part of Bollywood history. From Jeetendra's jumping jack days to Tusshar's Golmaal franchise, it's amazing to see the generations. Love the throwback with the classic Rafi song!
Jeetendra sir is 84! Time flies. I remember watching his movies on Doordarshan every Sunday. Wishing the veteran a long and healthy life. Tusshar's post brought back so many memories. 🙏
It's nice to see Bollywood celebrities showing their human side. The pressure of work in the film industry must be immense. This was a heartfelt way to connect despite the distance. Happy birthday to the icon!
