Mukesh and his Actors – 09
Actor Rakesh Pandey (9 April 1940-21 March 2025) made his acting debut in the film Sara Aakash (1969). He won the President’s Award for his role in the film. Apart from Hindi films and TV serials, he was also associated with Bhojpuri silver and small screen and won several awards in the latter regional language association.
He was also associated with FTII, IPTA etc. But with all these startups and awards, my perception is that he could not place himself in the top league of actors. He is, however, known for playing family-centric roles and his rich contributions counted and remembered.

Today’s song is a part of my growing up. Hearing it makes me very nostalgic and takes me back to 1981, the year I passed out of my undergrad degree and had joined the queue to land a good job. I eventually got a fantastic job as a Medical Rep for the #1 Pharma company in India – Glaxo Ltd (now GSK Ltd). Our in house encyclopaedia Arunkumar Ji has also spent a considerable amount of time in Glaxo and can vouch for my saying that it was a proud feeling, always.
Now coming to today’s song, “Tujhsa Haseen Dekha Na Kahin” is sung by Kishore Kumar, written by Gulshan Bawra and composed by Rahul Dev Burman. It is from the 1981 film “Harjaee”.

While the Hollywood film was a black comedy, Lekh Tandon converted his Hindi film into a family drama. The shooting of the film started in 1978. The film got released on April 10, 1981.

Today, December 31, 2025, is the 7th Remembrance Day of Writer-Actor Kader Khan who created a niche for himself in the midst of Hindi film’s first super star writer duo, Salim Javed. In fact, he went one step ahead of them as he was also a prolific character actor of various shades.
The life profile of Kader Khan ( 22/10/1937 – 31/12/2018) is an inspiring one. It is one more of ‘rags to riches’ stories of artists in Hindi film industries. He was born in Kabul but due to poverty, his family shifted to Mumbai and stayed in Kamathipura area in Mumbai. Soon, he lost his mother when he was an infant. His step mother ensured that Kader Khan completes his education. In the midst of extreme poverty, he completed his matriculation and joined Ismail Yusuf College in science stream. After passing Civil Engineering, he got a job as a lecturer in Saboo Siddik College of Engineering on a monthly salary of Rs.300/-. He worked as a lecturer for about seven years up to 1975.
