Sanjeev Kumar Never Acted, He Moulded Into His Characters: Gautam Adani
New Delhi, July 20: Fans of Hindi cinema are from every walk of life; even billionaire businessmen. Take the case of the chairperson of the Adani group, Gautam Adani who celebrated his 60th birthday recently and is big fan of late actor Sanjeev Kumar.
Upon the release of the authorised biography of the late actor titled “Sanjeev Kumar- The Actor We All Loved” last week, Adani said in a statement, “Sanjeev Kumar never acted. He moulded himself into whichever role he was playing. That was his genius.”
Grateful for his statement, said author Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta and added, “I had read several times that Gautambhai Adani was an avid reader. So I reached out to him and told him about my book on Sanjeev Kumar.”

Both Adani and Sanjeev Kumar belonged to India’s enterprising Gujarati community.
Sanjeev Kumar, who gave us films like “Mausam” and “Aandhi” has always been a common man’s superstar. The roles he played were widely relatable to the masses and his performances- pretty much like Adani’s quote, are remembered for their ease and their natural portrayal.
Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta is one of India’s well known woman biographers.
The Hindi film industry has embraced her book as it is of historical significance in the annals of Indian cinema. Written in tandem with Uday Jariwala, the late actors nephew, the book traverses Sanjeev Kumar’s life from 1938 to 1985 and has been hailed as a thorough entertainer.
