How is Ravi Kapoor now? Have we forgotten him? If you are unable to fathom what we are talking about, Ravi Kapoor is the original name of one of Bollywood’s biggest superstars of all time and the ladies’ heartthrob of his era — Jeetendra!
The man who earned the sobriquet of ‘Jumping Jack’ in Bollywood owing to his energetic dancing style, turns 78 today.
He has chosen to move away from the limelight, but Jeetu — as he was known to fans and colleagues — continues to reside in the hearts of Hindi film buffs across the globe.
His genial screen image, gentlemanly attitude off the screen and, most notably, those trademark white dancing shoes he insisted on wearing every time, will never go away from popular psyche.
Jeetendra was born on April 7, 1942 in Punjab’s Amritsar as Ravi Kapoor. (IANS)
