Cinemaazi remembers Amjad Khan on his birth anniversary
Born on 12 November, 1940 in Peshawar to veteran actor Jayant, little did anyone know that Amjad Khan would go on to become the face of true unadulterated evil in Hindi cinema. Such is the aura of his iconic performance as Gabbar Singh in Sholay (1975), that it often makes us forget the extremely talented actor and genuinely honest and unselfish human being underneath.
