New Delhi. Today is the birth anniversary of Bollywood’s famous actor Amjad Khan. He was born on 12 November 1940 in Mumbai. He did his entire education from Mumbai and did college from here too. Amjad Khan was associated with theater since college days. After coming into acting, Amjad emerged as a villain of the 70s and 80s. He has worked in many hit films in his career. He played many such characters which became immortal in the history of Hindi cinema, one of which is the character of ‘Gabbar’. Sholay proved to be a milestone for Amjad Khan’s career.
But do you know that Amjad Khan was inspired by a washerman for the role of Gabbar Singh. Dialogues like ‘Yeh Haath Mujhe De De Thakur’, ‘Kitne Aadmi Thee’ from the film ‘Sholay’ still live on people’s tongues. However, Amjad Khan was not the first choice for this role. Before him, actor Danny was offered the role of Gabbar. But due to lack of date for shooting, Amjad Khan got this role.

In the film, when Amjad used to rub tobacco on his palm, Gabbar Singh used to say Hey Woh Samba, Tera Kya Hoga Kalia, how many men were there, people were forced to clap. But he learned this style from a washerman of the village. Who used to talk to people in the same manner every morning. Amjad Khan was very impressed with his dhobi’s style. He used to listen carefully to the manner of speaking of the washerman. Instead of copying a villain, he adopted the style of that washerman.
