Why Did This Journalist from BBC London Have to be Imprisoned For Acting in Indian Films?
Ойын-сауық
Balraj Sahni (born Yudhishthir Sahni; 1 May 1913 - 13 April 1973) was an Indian film and stage actor, who is best known for Dharti Ke Lal (1946), Do Bigha Zameen (1953), Chhoti Bahen (1959), Kabuliwala (1961), Waqt (1965) and Garam Hawa (1973). He was the brother of Bhisham Sahni, a noted Hindi writer, playwright, and actor.
Balraj Sahni with his wife Damayanti, 1936.
Balraj Sahni, Rattan Kumar and Nana Palsikar in Do Bigha Zamin (1953)
Sahni was born on 1 May 1913 in Rawalpindi, Punjab, British India.[3] He studied at Government College (Lahore) and Gordon College.[4] After completing his master's degree in English Literature from Lahore, he went to Rawalpindi and joined his family business. He also holds a bachelor's degree in Hindi.[5] Soon after, he married Damayanti Sahni.
In the late 1930s, Sahni and his wife left Rawalpindi to join Tagore's Visva-Bharati University in Shantiniketan in Bengal as an English and Hindi teacher. It is here that their son, Parikshit Sahni was born when his wife Damayanti was earning her bachelor's degree. He also collaborated with Mahatma Gandhi for a year in 1938. The next year, Sahni, with Gandhi's blessings, went to England to join the BBC-London's Hindi service as a radio announcer. He returned to India in 1943, and his wife died in 1947 at age 26. In 1951, he remarried, to writer Santosh Chandhok; they remained married until he died in 1973. While at the BBC, Sahni worked alongside George Orwell.
Sahni was always interested in acting and started his acting career with the plays of the Indian People's Theatre Association (IPTA).[5] Incidentally, his wife Damayanti became well-known as an IPTA actress much before Sahni made a name for himself in films.[9] He started his film career in Bombay with the film Insaaf (1946), followed by Dharti Ke Lal directed by KA Abbas in 1946, Damayanti's first film, Door Chalein in 1946, and other films. But it was in 1953, with Bimal Roy's classic Do Bigha Zamin, that his true strength as an actor was first recognized. The film won the international prize at the Cannes Film Festival.

Balraj Saab was a god-gifted universal artiste, a rare human as well as intellectual. A born socialist/Leftist, he also taught English at Panjab University Lahore. This video was no less than watching Balraj Saab's movie. Bhisan Sahni, his brother, was a great Hindi littérateur. You would have discussed his masterpiece Garam Hawa in detail.
Really a great soul and I salute this great soul.
One of the best actors of Hindi cinema.
Balraj😢 Sahini is a distinguished cinema actor we who has done more than hundred movies in Hindi The most memorable roles I Seema Do Bigha Zamin Garam Hawa n waqt are etched in the hearts of movie lovers He was also commentator in BBC before coming over to Bombay He was associated with Iptaa and wasmuch influenced by Marxist thoughts n Socialism.

Assalamualaikum Wala Rahamatullahe Barkatahu. Indeed Late Mr Balraj Shahni was a True and Genuine Personality. He believed in Communist Ideology. He has communicated the Message of Communism (Samyawad) through his acting in Bollywood Movie as well as through his journalism. He and his family had faced the Bitter Hardships of Partition (India and Pakistan). I salute such a Ideal Personality from the core of my heart 💓. Allah may bless his soul and may rest in heaven. Allahamdollila.
