'''Rajendra Kumar''' (born '''Rajendra Kumar Tuli'''; 20 July 1927 – 12 July 1999), was an Indian actor who starred in [[Bollywood]] films. Starting his career in 1949, he appeared in more than 80 films in a career spanning over four decades. He was popularly known as the '''Jubilee Kumar''' during the 1960s when he starred in several commercially successful films.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/why-rajendra-kumar-was-known-as-the-jubilee-kumar-of-bollywood-8039172/lite | title=Why Rajendra Kumar was known as the 'Jubilee Kumar' of Bollywood, his films ran for at least 25 weeks in cinemas | date=21 July 2022 }}</ref>

He also produced several films starring his son [[Kumar Gaurav]]. The [[Government of India]] honored him with the [[Padma Shri]] in 1970.

==Career==
Rajendra Kumar was born in a [[Punjabi Hindu]] [[Khatri]] family in [[Sialkot]], in the Punjab province of [[British India]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Raheja|first=Dinesh|title=Bollywood's Jubilee Kumar|url=http://www.rediff.com/entertai/2002/jul/09dinesh.htm|access-date=14 October 2011|archive-date=11 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180211095118/http://www.rediff.com/entertai/2002/jul/09dinesh.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> His grandfather was a successful military contractor and his father had a textile business in [[Karachi]], [[Sindh]], British India. During the [[Partition of India]], the family had to leave all the land and property behind and move to [[India]]. When they came to [[Mumbai|Bombay]], Kumar decided to try his luck in the Hindi film industry. He never wanted to be a hero and took up work with director [[H. S. Rawail]] as an assistant. For nearly five years, he worked with Rawail as an assistant in films like ''[[Patanga (1949 film)|Patanga]]'', ''[[Sagai (1951 film)|Sagai]]'', ''[[Pocket Maar (1956 film)|Pocket Maar]]''.

During this time, he made his film debut with a cameo in the 1949 film ''[[Patanga (1949 film)|Patanga]]'', followed by a small role in [[Kidar Sharma]]'s 1950 film ''[[Jogan (1950 film)|Jogan]]'', opposite [[Dilip Kumar]] and [[Nargis]]. It was producer [[Devendra Goel]] who noticed Kumar in ''Jogan'' and gave him a break in ''[[Vachan]]'' in 1955. Kumar was paid only fifteen hundred rupees for the film; however, the film was a hit and was Kumar's first silver jubilee film and he was given a title – 'A star is Born'.<ref>[http://cineplot.com/rajendra-kumar-memories/ Rajendra Kumar – Memories] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140312212205/http://cineplot.com/rajendra-kumar-memories/ |date=12 March 2014 }}. "Cineplot.com". Retrieved on 8 November 2018.</ref> He got further success with his supporting role in [[Mehboob Khan]]'s blockbuster epic film ''[[Mother India]]'' in 1957 in which he played Nargis's character's son. His first major success as a romantic leading man was in Amit Saxena's musical ''[[Goonj Uthi Shehnai]]'' (1959), co-starring [[Ameeta]].

The 1960s saw Kumar rise to stardom. There were times when he had six or seven films which had run for more than 25 weeks (known in India as a "silver jubilee film"), all running at the cinema at the same time, which rendered him the nickname ''Jubilee Kumar''.<ref>[http://www.rediff.com/movies/2002/jul/09dinesh.htm Movies: Bollywood's Jubilee Kumar] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140910195917/http://www.rediff.com/movies/2002/jul/09dinesh.htm |date=10 September 2014 }}.

Deep750.googlepages.com. Retrieved on 8 November 2018.</ref> He also starred in K. Asif's incomplete film ''Sasta Khoon Mehanga Paani'' co- starring Saira Banu.

From 1969 onwards, he faced competition from [[Rajesh Khanna]] and many of his films were flops. He then switched to character roles in the late 1970s and 1980s. He was offered a role in the film ''[[Saajan Bina Suhaagan]]'' opposite [[Nutan]] in 1978 which was a success. He also starred in a number of Punjabi films like ''[[Do Sher]]'' and ''[[Teri Meri Ik Jindri]]''.

In 1981, Rajendra introduced his son [[Kumar Gaurav]] in the film ''[[Love Story (1981 film)|Love Story]]'' which he produced and also starred in. The film was declared a blockbuster.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20071122212642/http://www.boxofficeindia.com/1981.htm Box Office Results 1981]. boxofficeindia.com</ref> Rajendra produced a few other films starring his son but none matched the success of ''Love Story'' with the exception of the 1986 film ''[[Naam (1986 film)|Naam]]'', which featured his son starring alongside [[Sanjay Dutt]]. His last production was the 1993 film ''[[Phool (1993 film)|Phool]]'' which also didn't do well. In 1995, he acted in the television serials ''Andaz'' and ''Vansh'' which were his last acting roles.

==Personal life==

He married [[Ravi Behl#Personal|Shukla]] of the [[List of Hindi film families#Behl family|Behl family of Hindi films]], a sister of [[Ramesh Behl]] and [[Ravi Behl#Personal|Shyam Behl]] and aunt of their sons [[Goldie Behl]] and [[Ravi Behl]].<ref name=sis2>[https://www.freepressjournal.in/entertainment/bollywoods-forgotten-stars-8-interesting-facts-about-boogie-woogies-judge-ravi-behl Bollywood’s Forgotten Stars: 8 Interesting facts about Boogie Woogie’s judge – Ravi Behl] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200710191845/https://www.freepressjournal.in/entertainment/bollywoods-forgotten-stars-8-interesting-facts-about-boogie-woogies-judge-ravi-behl |date=10 July 2020 }}, [[The Free Press Journal]], 17 June 2018.</ref> He and Shukla had a son and two daughters. His son [[Kumar Gaurav]] also had a brief acting career. His daughter Dimple was married to Hollywood film producer [[Raju Patel]]. His sister Manorama was married to Indian film producer [[O. P. Ralhan]]. His younger brother was film director Naresh Kumar.

Kumar acted with [[Sunil Dutt]] and [[Nargis]] in the film ''[[Mother India]]'' (1957) where Sunil Dutt and Rajendra Kumar played sons of Nargis's character. He had a special relationship with Dutt and used to actively participate in campaigning for him, whenever the latter used to contest for elections. Dutt quoted as having said that "Even though Rajendra Kumar did not win any award throughout his career, he was one of the most genuine human beings I have ever encountered. When I was struggling with the troubles related to the arrest of my son Sanjay Dutt and my house was repeatedly being searched by means of numerous police raids, Rajendra Kumar was the one who came to my rescue by staying at my house and ensuring that raids were conducted using due procedures, false evidences were not planted in the house and valuables were not stolen." Kumar was best friends with [[Raj Kapoor]], so much so that his son [[Kumar Gaurav]] was engaged to the latter's daughter, Reema. However, their friendship fell apart after their children broke the engagement and Kumar Gaurav married [[Sunil Dutt]] and [[Nargis]]'s daughter Namrata.

==Death==
Known to refuse taking any medication, he died at the age of 71 on 12 July 1999, just a day after his son's 43rd birthday, and just 8 days before his 72nd birthday. He died of cardiac arrest in his sleep.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/obituary/story/19990726-bollywoods-marathon-crybaby-rajendra-kumar-passes-away-824494-1999-07-26#:~:text=The%20star%20of%20150%2Dodd,counts%2C%20blood%20transfusions%20and%20hospitals.|title='Bollywood's marathon crybaby' Rajendra Kumar passes away}}</ref>
