Hi Friends!
This is my first blog and thats the encouragement for me to write the second one. This is an appraisal for a man who was and is as important for the television industry as Big B for the film industry. I'm writing this blog on the life of Shekhar Suman. Why he? Answer is simple. He worked in around 30 movies including Utsav with Rekha and 25 TV serials. The serials included one of the most comedy serials in Doordarshan's history-Dekh Bhai Dekh and One of the most watched talk shows- Movers and Shekhars. The cool thing with this talk show was that Shekhar in almost all the episodes made a critical mimickry of Lalu & Rabdi Yadav but then also the show was so popular that Lalu himself came to be a guest of one his episodes. He criticised almost every famous personality in his show but the criticism seemed to be logical and practical to me atleast. He does the same on Star News program Pol Khol. His other comedies included Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Wilaytee Babu, Hera Pheri and Kabhi Idhar Kabhi Udhar. He hosted Neelam Ghar Bid Bid Boom on Zee which also gained good viewership but for some reasons the Program didn't lasted long.Now something about his movies. He was born in Patna (don't ask where it is) and came to Mumbai looking for a career in Film Industry. He had a good face and therefore was selected for Utsav in which he was against Rekha (big star of that time). His role was praised but he movie was a commercial failure. As he was not from any filmy background and the 1st movie was flop he could not play main roles in his further movies. He struggled but stopped doing side roles and then he placed his concentration all on Television. In 2004, he hosted Great Indian Laughter Challenge with Navjot Singh Sidhu which was also seen by many people.Today His son is making his debut in Film Ind. and he is making debut in singing. He has launched his 1st Video Album -Kuch Khwab Aise and shown his multi talent to the world.He has seen his (elder) son's death and struggled to survive. But today he is satisfied with his achievement and making ways easier for his son Adhyayan. As this is not a biography I should not write much but many people has written on SRK, Big B, Aamir, etc and so I thought I should pay my duties to one of my Idols.
