Daughter Anita Raj’s pairing with Dharmendra became a hit.
In 1992, Jagdish Raj took a halt from his acting career but before he could completely bid adieu to the world of flashy cameras and glittering life, his daughter – Anita Raj entered the world of acting. After her debut film ‘Mehndi Rang Laayegi’, Anita never looked back and ruled the industry. Especially her pairing with the superstar of that era, Dharmendra, was very much liked. She worked in about 46 films in her acting career and people still like to watch her ‘Zamana To Hai Naukar Biwi Ka’ with Dharmendra.
Jagdish Raj’s contribution to Indian cinema is a rare example of how dedication to one role can lead to greatness. Even today, when the conversation around iconic police characters in Bollywood arises, his name is mentioned with respect and admiration. He didn’t just play a cop — he became one in the hearts of millions.
