This actor was most dangerous villain of Bollywood before Amrish Puri, married three times, he was…
This famous actor, once graced the screen as charming hero, winning hearts with his charisma and striking presence. But destiny had a different path carved for him, one that roared louder than the rest. Transitioning from the lead roles to the world of menacing antagonists, he redefined villainy in Indian cinema. With his signature baritone, fierce gaze, and commanding screen aura, he became synonymous with fear, earning the unforgettable title of 'The Lion.' His transformation wasn't just career-defining, it set a new benchmark for on-screen villains like Amrish Puri, Shakti Kapoor, Amjad Khan and Sadashiv Amrapurkar, who could be as iconic as the heroes they challenged. The Lion Of Bollywood Here we are talking about Bollywood's one of the most dreaded villains, Ajit Khan , who carved out a unique niche for himself in the film industry by rising above poverty and the various trials of life. He debuted in Bollywood as a hero from Shah-E-Misr , but it was through his portrayal of antagonists that he truly gained fame. Viewers appreciated his performances so greatly that his movies consistently achieved box office success. Before his film career, Hamid Ali Khan had abbreviated his name to 'Ajit' on the suggestion of film director Nana Bhai Bhat due to the length of his actual name. Ajit's Dream and Life-Changing Incident As per reports from media, Ajit Khan had dreamed of becoming an actor since he was a child. In pursuit of this aspiration, he left his home and traveled to Mumbai. Lacking financial resources, he even resorted to selling his books. With no place to stay in Mumbai, he began to sleep in large cement pipes. During that time, some thugs would extort money from those residing in those pipes. If residents failed to pay, they would be beaten and forced to leave. One day, Ajit became extremely frustrated and confronted the thugs. No thug could withstand Ajit's bravery, and they all fled. Following this incident, he earned great respect among the residents in that area. This chapter in Ajit Khan's life exemplifies his passion and bravery, which ultimately made him one of Bollywood's most iconic villains. The Personal Front And End Ajit was married three times. His first marriage to an Anglo-Indian Christian ended quickly due to cultural differences. He then married Shahida in an arranged match. The marriage was successful and they had three sons, Shahid, Zahid, and Abid . His third wife, Sarah , was introduced to him by actor Jayant, and they had two sons, Shehzad and Arbaaz . Ajit lived in Hyderabad in his last days and died on 22 October 1998 at the age of 76 after suffering from a massive heart attack.

Paramasivan Fathima Movie Review: This predictable film is ideologically inept and clumsily crafted
Generally, filmmakers find it easy to dish out social issues if their films are set in a fictional world. This helps you stay away from offending any powerful person, organisation or community. It also creates a space for uninhibited discussions. But filmmaker Esakki Karvannan is disingenuous with things he presents as issues and lacks honesty in exploring them fully. Paramasivan Fathima introduces the fictional world of Subramaniyapuram and the towns split from it, namely Yokobpuram (predominantly Christian) and Sultanpettai (predominantly Muslim). The film begins with the narration that the rampant conversions are the reason for the split, and prospective grooms from both these towns die a day before their D-day. In parallel, we get glimpses of Paramasivan (Vemal) and Fathima/Tamilselvi (Chayadevi), teasing us with what could have happened to them even though the familiar stench of honour killing is discernible from a mile away. However, the film chooses to take a tiring 140 minutes to uninspiringly tell us the relation between the deaths and conversions. Putting itself on a high pedestal, the film claims to impart some noble message, but is off the target right from the beginning. It reeks of contrivance, especially with no villager in this film having anything to do except be bothered by religion. It could be said that communal flare-ups in Tamil Nadu are few and far in between when compared to cases of caste discrimination. However, the absence of an engaging fictional story cannot be blamed on the social fabric of the state. The film should have ideally explored how bigotry comes in the way of religious harmony in the 21st century rather than creating a fictional world filled with people, who seem to be straight out of the Middle Ages. The film also trivialises hunger and unemployment through Hindu characters coercing others in their community to not convert for "food and jobs" as though they aren't important enough for sustenance. The question is, what kind of pride should one take in a religion where one follower does not take care of another? Why will anyone not be grateful to someone from some other faith, who has taken it upon themselves to provide sustenance to live a dignified life? Also, it is important to note that the act of service done with an ulterior motive of converting more people to their religion cannot be brought under the umbrella term of 'service.' It is but a transactional relationship. Can an apathetic person judge when someone from his 'brethren' converts to another religion after receiving certain favours from them? No. Some scenes and dialogues reflect the 'rice-bag convert' condescension in social media, but this anger would have been better justified if it was targeted at those depriving the starving people of their 'rice bag'. 20th-century American psychologist Abraham Maslow would have created a five-tier needs hierarchy that treats physiological and safety needs as having paramount importance for a bare minimum decent life. Food and material requirements aren't nothing. I am duty-bound to remind such self-righteous people that the miracle stories of Lord Krishna filling his impoverished friend Kuselan's house with riches just for a morsel of puffed rice and Lord Jesus multiplying five bread loaves and two fishes to feed 5000 people are being taught to their respective followers even to this day to praise God's glory, generosity and magnanimity.
