The life of an actor, who got the title of 'Jubilee Kumar' in Hindi cinema, was a struggle. On the special occasion of 'Jubilee Kumar' birthday, we are going to tell you some special things related to him…
Rajendra Kumar had come to India with his family. Here his father started a clothing business, which went well. After this, Rajendra's job also took place in the police department, that too in the post of sub-inspector. But fate probably had something else in mind. A friend of Rajendra showed him the dreams of the film world and asked him to come to Mumbai to act.
By the way, Rajendra Kumar's childhood dream was to become an actor and the words of a friend made his dreams come true. He fled to Mumbai two days before going to police training. When he reached Mumbai, the reality came to know. The friend was also struggling there. Rajendra Kumar was deeply hurt by the deception he had received from a friend and decided not to return home out of shame.
After this, in the year 1957, Rajendra got a chance to work with Nargis in 'Mother India'. Rajendra Kumar's character in the film was very small but his work was highly praised. After this, the film 'Mehboob' became a super hit in the year 1963, after which Rajendra Kumar never looked back.

Rajendra Kumar was first seen on the big screen in the 1950 film Jogan. Dilip Kumar was in the lead role in this film.
