Mehmood, the icon of comedy in Film Industry of '60s, passed away on Friday morning in Pennsylvania. He was 72.
He was not only a great actor with a fine sense of comic timing but was also a sebsitive human being. He was full of life and energy even during the worst phases of his personal and professional life. He was ailing for a long time, but his illness did not stop him from living his life to the fullest.
Pyaasa, Parvarish, Sasural, Pyar Kiye Ja, Laakhon Mein Ek, Mastana, Love In Tokyo, Kunwara Baap and Bombay To Goa are his unforgotable films. His hammy style of comedy become with audiences that directors began to have a special 'comedy track' written into their films for him. His evergreen songs - Hum kaale hai to kya hua dilwaale hain in Gumnaam, Muttu kori kawari hada in Do Phool and Ek chatur naar karke singar in Padosan will remain in public memory.
He was a very loving and lavable man. We have lost one of the greatest comedians of all time.
