An actor whose work I have enjoyed through many, many movies passed away yesterday at the age of 76—or as they say very beautifully in India: Rajendranath is no more.
I always thought he had the good looks to be a hero, but he was always cast in comic roles—which he did perfectly.
May he rest in peace!
As requested, additional photos:
It’s been too long since once of these! Can anyone tell me what these three actors have in common (and who they are)?
Okay, I’m giving up on all of you! :-) I thought at least someone would know who the actors at the very top and bottom are…
In order from the top down, they are Rajendranath, Narendranath, and Premnath; and what they have in common is their gene pool. They are brothers, and all three acted in Hindi movies for decades. Premnath began working in the 1940’s as a hero (and even for a while had a relationship with the gorgeous Madhubala); he went on to become a very busy villain, acting into the early 1980’s. Rajendranath was a very popular comedian/sidekick especially in the 1960’s and 1970’s, and continued working into the 1990’s. Narendranath was not as prolific as his older brothers, but found fairly steady work through the 1970’s to the 1990’s.
