Veteran actor Prem Chopra marked 60 years in Bollywood on Thursday in Mumbai. On the occasion, his son-in-law was full of praise for his role in Do Anjaane.
Do Anjaane, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha, released in 1976. Chopra won a Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award for his acting.
“I would like to play his role from Do Anjaane. It was such a remarkable film and his character was amazing. I think, Prem Chopra got many awards for that film and that is the film I would like to do,” Joshi said.
Joshi, who was at the celebratory party with his wife, Prerana, also lauded his father-in-law as a thorough professional and exceptional human being.
“He is an exceptional professional and human being. I am really fortunate to know him at such a personal level. I’ve spent many evenings with him and I have had the pleasure of hearing some wonderful anecdotes.
“I’ve been able to watch him closely as a human being and learn so much and inspire myself. In fact, I have tried to imbibe and live a life that he has lived — one of complete discipline, hard work, perseverance and determination. I am very proud of him.”
Celebrities such as Jeetendra, Rakesh Roshan, Sh ndra Kumar, Harish Kumar and Mukesh Rishi were also at the party.
Roshan said: “It is such a huge achievement for Prem Chopra. And for all of us, an example. He has been in the industry for such a long time and still working. He is such a lovely man, just like his name. We are really good friends. I wish him a long run ahead.”
Prem Chopra was last seen on-screen in comedy drama Patel Ki Punjaabi Shaadi.
