“We have not only lost a veteran actor but also a very nice
human being. Our association with Farooq was a long one” said Sandeep Marwah
expressing his gratitude towards departed soul who has been a senior member of
the film fraternity.
Farooq Sheikh was popular with his first film Garam Hava and
then never looked back. Some of his most
prominent films like Shatranj Ke Khilari, Gaman, Noorie, Umrao Jaan, Chashme Badoor, Sath
Sath, Bazar, Gharwalli Baharwali, Maya Memsaab, Mohabbat, Lahore and Ye Jawani
Hai Dewani etc have been appreciated by public and critics.
“The film family has lost a very important member. The loss
is irreparable. We all pray for his soul to rest in peace. We have worked with
him in Ji Mantri Ji and Ji Pradhan Mantri Ji two TV series for NDTV at Marwah
Studios for more than 3 months. He had been also the member with us at PHD
Chamber of Commerce in Entertainment & Media Committee” informed Marwah.
