Mumbai, Oct 1 (NationPress) On the occasion of S. D. Burman’s 119th birth anniversary this Wednesday, actor Jackie Shroff took a moment to pay tribute to the legendary figure.

Jackie shared a striking monochrome photograph of Burman on his Instagram stories, highlighting the composer's royal roots from the Tripura family.

“Remembering S D Burman ji on his Birth Anniversary,” Jackie penned in his post.

Burman embarked on his career in Bengali cinema in 1937, later transitioning to Hindi films and establishing himself as one of the most prominent and influential music composers in Indian cinema. He crafted the soundtracks for over 100 films across both Bengali and Hindi cinema.

In addition to his prowess as a composer, he lent his voice to folk music from East Bengal and light semi-classical styles. His songs were performed by many of the era's leading vocalists, including Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammed Rafi, Geeta Dutt, Manna Dey, Hemant Kumar, Asha Bhosle, Shamshad Begum, Mukesh, and Talat Mahmood.

Unfortunately, S. D. Burman fell into a coma shortly after rehearsing the song “Badi Sooni Sooni Hai” for the film Mili. He passed away on October 31, 1975, in Mumbai after a prolonged period in a coma.

On another note, Jackie Shroff is currently seen as the antagonist 'The Salesman' in the second season of the action-filled series “Hunter 2”. The storyline escalates as Vikram receives a disturbing call from his daughter, thought to be dead, only to find she is with the mysterious salesman.

Jackie will also appear in “Welcome To The Jungle”, directed by Ahmed Khan, which features a star-studded cast including Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty, and many more.

Meanwhile, Kajol is starring in the series “The Trial” Season 2, a legal drama adapted from The Good Wife by Robert King and Michelle King. The first season follows a housewife who resumes work at a law firm to support her family after her husband's imprisonment.

The second season unfolds three months post the first season's events. Noyonika Sengupta has become more self-assured as a lawyer, yet her personal life faces turbulence as her marriage with Rajiv struggles and their daughters confront ongoing conflicts at home.
