Kumar Gaurav: Good guys always win

 Kumar Gaurav's honesty can take you by surprise. The man talks about work, family and Sanjay Dutt.

 He had the right lineage , the right connections and yet he drifted away from Bollywood. But Kumar Gaurav has been always visible, as the son of Rajendra Kumar and son-in-law of Sunil Dutt. But why does he keep away from media? 

 He answers with honesty that can surprise you, "It is no conscious decision. As I am not doing anything, what is the point of talking to media ? I can only talk if I have something worthy to say." 

 So, the talk obviously veers towards his acting career. He has not been seen on-screen after Kaante 2002? "Very soon you will see me in a children's film, My Daddy Strongest (2009). It is a beautiful film on the father-son relationship and I loved doing it," says Kumar Gaurav. Did he draw on his own relationship with his father to do the role? "More than my relationship with my Dad, it gave me a new perspective on my relationship with my children . I have two daughters and I have new insights into my relationship with them now," he says. 

 Talking about his daughters, he says with childlike enthusiasm, "We spend crazy times together. I take them out on holidays a¦ mostly for scuba diving." He turns serious as he discusses Sanjay Dutt's predicament. "Sanju is my best buddy apart from being a relative. I am relieved that he has got bail. God has been great and we are all praying hard. I know that good guys always win and Sanju is a gem of a guy. Not just me, everyone who knows him says this," he says.

Kumar Gaurav: 'I'm an actor' Finally, at 40 plus, it seems like   Kumar Gaurav's   second innings has actually started. In the news because of his performance in the late Mazhar Khan's much belated Gang, he has also acted in two rather slick telefilms --  Sikander   and   Chocolate , both directed by Vivek Agnihotri -- which are due for release soon.   . He speaks of the experience in rather staccato bursts, as if unwilling to discuss a career noted, more than anything else, for its massive run of ill luck. For   Bunty , as he is fondly known, is acknowledged as a fine actor. His very first film, Love Story, brought him adulation and bouquets in no mean measure. The industry pundits predicted that a star worth watching had been born. Challenging roles like   Janam (1985)   and   Naam (1986)   followed, but he was unable to reactivate the audience's response to successful stars. Though everyone acknowledged his acti...

Star (1982) Director: Vinod Pande  Music: Biddu; Lyrics: Indeevar/Amit Khanna  Year: 1982  Running Time: 132 minutes If you are a fan of Disco Dancer (and who isn't!) you might want to check out this film starring Kumar Gaurav and Rati Agnihotri. Disco Dancer started a disco craze in India (some five years after the release of Saturday Night Fever in the U.S.) and a few other disco related films naturally followed on its white leather patent dancing heels. Star was made in the same year as Disco Dancer - 1982 - and though it is reasonably fun, it is lacking the unintentional lunacy and over saturated cheese of Disco Dancer. Disco Dancer reached such sublime heights of bad fashion, bad dance steps and bad dialogue that it has reached cult status – and also because it is so much darn fun! Star doesn’t have quite the same ambitions and so has less distance to fall and it also hasn’t aged quite as deliriously badly as Disco Dancer. It still has its campy pleasure...
