    The self-made actor survived in Bollywood for over five decades and acted in more than 400 films. His brand of physical humour punctuated by comical facial expressions helped him build his own army of dedicated fans. Image Credit: Supplied

    It was actor Ajay Devgn who broke the news on Twitter with the post: “Heard the sad news of Jagdeep Saab’s demise. Always enjoyed watching him on screen. He brought so much joy to the audience.

    Very soon, actors including Ayushmann Khurrana, Riteish Deshmukh and comedian Johnny Lever (pictured) expressed their condolences. All of them thanked the actor for ‘enriching their lives with laughter and happiness’ “My first film & first time I ever faced the camera, was in the film #YehRishtanaToote with the legend himself #jagdeep chai. We will miss you. May his soul rest in peace,” tweeted Lever. Image Credit: Gulf News Archive

    Jagdeep was best known for his role as the hilarious Bihari character Soorma Bhopali in Ramesh Sippy’s blockbuster ‘Sholay’ (1975). If there was one role that became synonymous with Jagdeep it was this one; every other role lost its sheen when compared to this hit character. Image Credit: Gulf News Archives

    Another stand-out in his career was his role in Rajkumar Santoshi’s ‘Andaaz Apna Apna’ (1994) in which he played Salman Khan’s father. His gags were in your face, but the humour always landed. Image Credit: Supplied

    Jagdeep was honoured with the Outstanding Achievement In Indian Cinema prize at last year’s International Indian Film Academy Awards. “Your laughter is my life and making you laugh enriched it further,” said Jagdeep in Hindi during the acceptance speech at the ceremony held in Mumbai. His sons and daughter were also on stage. The gong was given by ‘Sholay’ director Ramesh Sippy and actor Ranveer Singh. Image Credit: AFP
