"Last
night
we
lost
another
gem
..
Jagdeep
..
the
actor
of
exceptional
comedic
repertoire,
passed
away
..He
had
crafted
a
unique
individual
style
of
his
own
..
and
I
had
the
honour
of
working
with
him
in
several
films
..
the
more
prominent
ones
in
the
eyes
of
the
audience
being
Sholay
and
Shahenshah..He
had
even
requested
me
to
do
a
small
guest
role
in
a
film
he
was
producing,
which
I
did
..
A
humble
human
..
loved
by
millions
..My
duas
and
my
prayers
.."
Amitabh
Bachchan
Says
Jagdeep's
Memorable
Performances
Brought
So
Much
Joy
And
Love
He
further
continued,
"Syed
Ishtiaq
Ahmed
Jafri
..
his
real
name,
adopted
Jagdeep
as
his
film
name
and
gave
the
film
fraternity
such
memorable
performances,
that
brought
so
much
joy
and
happiness
all
around
..
Adopting
Jagdeep
as
his
film
name
was
such
a
gracious
factor
that
exhibited
the
unity
in
diversity
of
the
Country
..
there
were
many
others
at
the
time
that
did
similar
..
the
eminent
and
distinguished
..
Dilip
Kumar,
Madhubala,
Meena
Kumari
,
Jayant
-
Amjad
Khan's
Father,
a
giant
of
a
actor
..
and
many
many
others
..
One
by
one
they
all
go
away
..
leaving
the
Industry
bereft
and
deprived
of
their
immense
contribution.."
