58 years of Ram Aur Shyam: Saira Banu recalls Dilip Kumar’s “remarkable feat”; shares “an off-screen anecdote”

The veteran actress wrote, “Today, I’m here to talk about a film that holds a truly special place in my heart, one that I find difficult to adequately express. Surprisingly, it’s not one of my own films; I’m referring to ‘Ram Aur Shyam,’ a film that left a mark on the industry by introducing the concept of double roles.”

She further added, “In ‘Ram Aur Shyam,’ Sahib delivered a legendary portrayal of two characters. As Ram, he embodied innocence and fear towards his brother-in-law Gajendra, portrayed by the legendary Pran Sahab. Conversely, as Shyam, he was fearless, who triumphs over Thakur Ganjendra. It was a remarkable feat for one actor to inhabit opposing roles in a single movie, complemented by the stellar performances of Waheeda Aapa and Mumtaz.”

She concluded by saying, “And as luck would have it, Sahib and I got married soon after in 1966. Both “Ram Aur Shyam” and “Shagird” were the first movies to release after our marriage and both films were massive hits. “Ram Aur Shyam,” on the other hand, became one of the iconic films made in Indian Cinema, and the journey has come to 58 years.”
