પ્રારંભિક જીવન
[edit]મનોજ કુમારનો જન્મ એટ્ટોદાબાદ નગર (અત્યાર ખૈબર પાંખટુનખવા, પાકિસ્તાન)માં થયો હતો. તેમનું મૂળ નામ હરિકૃષ્ના ગિરિ ગોસ્વામી છે. જ્યારે તેઓ ૧૦ વર્ષના હતાં, ત્યારે તેમનું કુટુંબ વિભાજન વખતે દિલ્હી આવી ગયું હતું. તેમનું કુટુંબ વિજય નગર અને કિંગ્સ્વે કેમ્પમાં શરણાર્થી તરીકે રહ્યું અને ત્યારે બાદ નવી દિલ્હીના પટેલ નગર વિસ્તારમાં સ્થાયી થયું.
દિલ્હી યુનિવર્સિટીની હિન્દુ કોલેજમાંથી સ્નાતક થયા બાદ તેમણે ફિલ્મ ઉદ્યોગમાં દાખલ થવાનું નક્કી કર્યું.
કારકિર્દી
[edit]યુવાનીમાં તેઓ દિલીપ કુમાર ના પ્રશંસક હતા, અને તેમનું નામ દિલીપ કુમારના ચલચિત્ર શબનમ (૧૯૪૯) ના પાત્રના નામ ઉપરથી મનોજ કુમાર રાખવાનું નક્કી કર્યું.[1]
ફેશન (૧૯૫૭)માં નાનકડું પાત્ર ભજવ્યા બાદ, મનોજ કુમારે કાંચ કી ગુડિયા (૧૯૬૦)માં સાયેદા ખાન સાથે અગ્ર પાત્ર ભજવ્યું. પિયા મિલન કી આસ અને રેશમી રુમાલ ચલચિત્રો એ વિજય ભટ્ટ દ્વારા દિગ્દર્શિત હરિયાલી ઓર રાસ્તા (૧૯૬૨) માં માલા સિંહા સાથે તેમનો તખ્તો ગોઠવ્યો. સાધના સાથે તેમણે વો કોન થી (૧૯૬૪)માં અભિનય કર્યા બાદ, વિજય ભટ્ટ અને માલા સિંહા સાથે હિમાલય કી ગોદ મેં (૧૯૬૫) ફરી કામ કર્યું. મનોજ કુમાર અને રાજ ખોસલાએ કલાકાર-દિગ્દર્શક તરીકે દો બદન ચલચિત્રમાં સફળતા મેળવી, જે રાજ ખોસલાનાં ઉત્તમ દિગ્દર્શન, મનોજ કુમાર અને આશા પારેખનાં અભિનયો અને રવિના સંગીત, શકીલ બદાયુનીનાં ગીત માટે જાણીતું બન્યું હતું.
દેશભક્ત કલાકાર
[edit]Kumar's image as the patriotic hero started with the 1965 film Shaheed,[2] based on the life of Bhagat Singh, the most influential Indian revolutionary. After the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri asked him to create a film based on the popular slogan Jai Jawan Jai Kissan (hail the soldier, hail the farmer).[1]
The result was Kumar's magnum opus and his directorial debut, Upkaar (1967). In it, he played both a soldier and a farmer. The film was also noted for the famous song Mere Desh Ki Dharti, written by Gulshan Bawra, composed by Kalyanji-Anandji and sung by Mahendra Kapoor. Upkaar was a hit and won Kumar his first Filmfare Best Director Award.
After dabbling in various roles in the late 1950, Manoj returned to patriotic themes in Purab Aur Paschim (1970), in which life in the East and West are juxtaposed. In 1972, he starred in Be-Imaan (for which he won the Filmfare Best Actor Award) and directed and starred in Shor (1972). The latter, opposite Nanda, was not a huge box office success, but it did feature the memorable song Ek Pyar Ka Nagma Hai, a duet by Lata Mangeshkar and Mukesh, which was composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal and written by Santosh Anand.
પાછલી કારકિર્દી
[edit]In the mid-1970s Kumar starred in three hit films: Roti Kapda Aur Makaan (1974) was a social commentary featuring an all-star cast including Zeenat Aman, Shashi Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan that won him his second Filmfare Award for Best Director; Sanyasi (1975) had Kumar and Hema Malini in the lead roles of a religious-themed comedy; and Dus Numbri (1976) also gave Kumar and Hema top billing. In 1981, Kumar reached the peak of his career when he got the opportunity to direct his idol, Dilip Kumar, as well as star in Kranti, a story about the struggle for Indian independence in the 19th century. Kranti was the last notable successful film in his career. He also starred in the hit Punjabi film Jat Punjabi.
After Kranti, Kumar's career began to decline in the 1980s as all of his films failed at the box office. In 1989 he cast Pakistani actors Mohammad Ali and Zeba in his film Clerk which was considered to be a groundbreaking event. He quit acting after his appearance in the 1995 film Maidan-E-Jung. His son, Kunal Goswami, tried to revive the patriotic theme and was directed by Kumar in the 1999 film Jai Hind which was a flop. Kumar was awarded the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award that same year.
His trademark hand-covering-the-face was very popular and continues to be the butt of jokes of latter day stand-up comedians. In 2007, the Shah Rukh Khan film Om Shanti Om featured the lead character pretending to be Manoj Kumar so as to sneak into a movie premiere, by holding his hand over his face. Kumar filed a lawsuit, which was settled out of court.[3]
રાજકારણ
[edit]Like many other Bollywood stars, Kumar decided to enter politics following his retirement. Before the 2004 general election in India, it was announced that he had officially joined the ranks of the Shiv Sena[citation needed].
અંગત જીવન
[edit]Kumar is married to Shashi Goswami (originally from Jodhkan, Sirsa district, Haryana). He has two sons, Vishal and Kunal, Vishal tried his skills as a singer and Kunal as an actor. His brother, Rajiv Goswami, also entered the film industry, but none were able to gain any footing in Bollywood.
