Some of his other films are ''Kudrat Ka Kanoon'', ''[[Jurm (1990 film)|Jurm]]'', ''[[Sadaa Suhagan]]'' and ''[[Love 86]]'', all successful.

==Life and career==
Shafi Inamdar received his early education at [[Pangari Tarf Haveli|Pangari]] Dapoli, Ratnagiri, MS and at St. Joseph's High School in Umerkhadi ([[Dongri]]) in [[Mumbai]], [[India]], where he passed his S.S.C exam in 1958. He did his B.Sc from [[Kishinchand Chellaram College|K.C College]] in 1963.

He is particularly known for playing the common man's role. He has acted in numerous television shows, the most notable being [[Kundan Shah]]'s ''[[Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi]]'', telecast on [[Doordarshan]] in the 80s which made him a household name.<ref>{{citation|url=http://fondmemories.in/mobile/memories/shafi-inamdar|title=Shafi Inamdar}}</ref> The show went on to become so popular that it even started affecting the business of films, as it used to be aired late on Friday nights.<ref>{{citation|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/tv/what-made-yeh-jo-hai-zindagi-such-an-important-show/story-boYysrZZEnwgemlRVFVUFO.html|title=What made Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi such an important show}}</ref> The serial was such a hit that it ran for 61 episodes when generally a serial ran for a maximum of 25 weeks.<ref>{{citation|url=https://www.indianfilmhistory.com/history/shafi-inamdar|title=Shafi Inamdar}}</ref> One of his last performances on television was in ''Teri Bhi Chup Meri Bhi Chup''. He also played the role of an advocate in the Hindi film ''[[Yeshwant]]'', which was released after his death. He appeared in Ramesh Sippy's film ''[[Saagar (1985 film)|Saagar]]''. Inamdar also directed a film titled ''[[Hum Dono (1995 film)|Hum Dono]]'', starring [[Nana Patekar]], [[Rishi Kapoor]] and [[Pooja Bhatt]]. The film was a hit and he was considered a good director.

From his schooling days he was interested in dramas and used to act and direct school plays. He participated in elocution competition and debates. This continued through his college days and intensified his desire to become a performing artist and a theatre personality. He started his career as an actor and director under the guidance of Gujarati theatre personality [[Pravin Joshi|Praveen Joshi]]. He directed and acted in about 30 one act plays in Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi and English from 1973 to 1978. Later he joined the Indian National Theatre and [[Indian People's Theatre Association]] where he met [[Balraj Sahni]] and other members of Indian Theatre and learned the finer aspects of acting.

The turning point in his career was [[Ismat Chugtai]]’s play ''Nila Kamra'', which he staged as his first commercial production in Hindi. In the late seventies when the [[Prithvi Theatre]] was started Shafi Inamdar got an opportunity to produce several Hindi plays that paved the way for establishing him as a theatre personality to be reckoned with. He founded his own theatre group Hum Productions in 1982 and directed, produced and acted in various plays. He also staged comedies and folk theatre based on human drama, Naag Mandala.

In 1984 came India’s most popular television sitcom ''Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi'', a comedy serial starring Shafi Inamdar in the main lead as the character Ranjeet Verma, [[Swaroop Sampat]] played his wife Renu while [[Rakesh Bedi]] played his brother-in-law Raja. Shafi later acted in many other television serials like ''Adha Sach, Aadha Jooth'', ''[[Mirza Ghalib (TV series)|Mirza Ghalib]]'' and ''Teri Bhi Chup meri Bhi Chup''. In 1983, he made first appearance on the Hindi screen in the [[Shashi Kapoor]] produced and [[Govind Nihalani]] directed film ''[[Vijeta (1982 film)|Vijeta]]'', followed by the hard-hitting but popular ''[[Ardh Satya]]''. He acted in [[Baldev Raj Chopra|B. R. Chopra]] films like ''[[Aaj Ki Awaaz]]'' (for which he also won a nomination in [[32nd Filmfare Awards|Filmfare]] award for Best Supporting Actor), ''Awaam'' and ''[[Dahleez (film)|Dahleez]]'', and became a regular with the B. R. film camp.

One of his most notable efforts comes from the film ''[[Krantiveer]]'', in which he plays a TV anchor,
a caricature of TV journalist [[Rajat Sharma]] of ''[[Aap Ki Adalat]]'' fame, and exposes a group of corrupted people regarding politics, law and police. His witty dialogues were appreciated. ''Krantiveer'' was one of the highest-grossing movies of 1994.

==Personal life==
Shafi married actress [[Bhakti Barve]], who died in a road accident on 12 February 2001.

Shafi died on 13 March 1996 following a massive heart attack while watching the [[India]] vs [[Sri Lanka]] [[1996 Cricket World Cup]] semifinal match.<ref>{{citation|url=http://www.mid-day.com/photos/actors-who-died-too-soon/4066/42579|title=Actors who died too soon}}</ref> At the time, he was acting in the comedy show ''Teri Bhi Chup Meri Bhi Chup'', which was shelved due to his death.
