fondly
reminisces
the
golden
era
of
laughter
with
Dilip
Sahib
and
Mehmood
Bhai,
sharing
cherished
moments
and
the
unparalleled
camaraderie
that
brought
joy
to
hospital
patients.
A
tribute
to
the
comedic
genius,
Mehmood
Bhai,
whose
legacy
continues
to
make
the
heavens
resound
with
laughter.

She
wrote
in
her
caption
"You
know,
It's
incredible!
Hospitals
during
the
era
when
home
video
viewing
was
popular
would
receive
requests
from
patients
in
distress
and
severe
depression
to
provide
them
with
videos
of
"PADOSAN." These
patients
found
solace,
extreme
joy,
and
laughter
in
watching
the
film.
I
vividly
recall
sending
numerous
video
cassettes
of
"PADOSAN"
to
these
hospitals.
The
patients
would
then
call
back,
expressing
gratitude
for
the
uplifting
experience
the
fantastically
funny
film
provided
them.
Dilip
Sahib
and
Mehmood
Bhai
shared
a
remarkable
camaraderie.
I
recall
a
hilarious
scene
from
"Sadhu
Aur
Shaitan" where
Sahib
and
Mumtaaz
are
strolling
on
the
road,
and
Mehmood
Bhai,
in
the
role
of
a
taxi
driver,
adds
a
comedic
twist.
Picture
this:
Sahib
and
Mumtaaz,
blissfully
unaware,
are
walking
right
in
the
middle
of
the
road,
and
Mehmood
Bhai,
honking,
exclaims,
"Are
Behra
Hai
Kyaa!"
He
then
steps
out
of
the
taxi,
saying,
"Surat
Kya
Dilip
Kumar
se
Milti
Hai,
Acting
Bhi
Dilip
Kumar
Ki
Chalu,
Aree
Film
Line
Mein
Bahut
Sare
Log
Dilip
Kumar
Ki
Copy
Kar
Ke
Apne
Ration
Ka
Kharcha
Nikaalte
Hain,"
leading
to
an
uproarious
fight.
The
synergy
between
Sahib
and
Mehmood
Bhai
on
screen
was
nothing
short
of
phenomenal.
Imagine
witnessing
two
legendary
actors
flawlessly
blending
their
comic
flair-it's
an
unforgettable
experience,
isn't
it?
Mehmood
Bhai,
who
was
an
Indian
actor
best
known
for
his
impeccable
comic
timing
in
Hindi
cinema,
held
a
unique
position
as
the
first
comedian
to
receive
greater
prominence
than
the
leading
heroes
in
films.
His
extensive
filmography
includes
numerous
hits
such
as
"PADOSAN" and
"BOMBAY
TO
GOA."
Today,
we
cherish
only
fond
memories
of
him.
With
his
passing,
the
film
industry
mourned
the
loss
of
a
great
human
being
and
a
comedian
par
excellence,
who
was
not
just
a
dear
friend
but
a
cherished
family
member.
His
behaviour
and
mannerisms
were
unmatched,
making
it
impossible
for
anyone
to
replicate.
To
preserve
his
legacy,
a
re-screening
of
his
films
is
essential,
introducing
this
rare
gem
to
a
generation
unaware
of
his
brilliance.
Miss
you
dearly
Mehmood
Bhai!
Make
the
Angels
and
the
Gods
laugh"!
