Google’s Special Doodle Remebers Special Farouque Sheikh

[Mumbai] Google’s Special Doodle Remebers Special Farouque Sheikh On his 70th Birth Anniversary.
Search engine Google has paid homage to Farouque Sheikh with a special doodle.
“Today’s Doodle by Nimit Malavia is a tribute to Farouque Sheikh’s cinematic career in a style evocative of hand-painted movie posters of the 1970s, and especially ‘Umrao Jaan’.
Born in 1948, in a simple middle-class household, Sheikh studied law at college but he continued to dabble in theater on the side, and eventually decided to give acting a go.
Sheikh made a tremendous contribution in theatre, films and TV as well. He started his career in Bollywood in 1973 with “Garm Hava” and is best remembered for his performances in films like “Shatranj Ke Khiladi”, “Chashme Buddoor”, “Kissi Se Na Kehna” and “Noorie”.
His last film was “Club 60” and before that he was seen playing the role of a father to Ranbir Kapoor’s character in “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani”.
He also hosted the popular TV show “Jeena issi ka naam hai” in which he interviewed many Bollywood celebrities.
