Hearing about his physical state, Junior Mehmood’s family took him to the Tata Memorial Hospital. The dean of the hospital said that the process of chemotherapy and treatment gets severely painful at such a scary stage. Also, the hospital suggested the family members take the actor back to their home and take good care of him.

Junior Mehmood acted in more than 260 movies in his entire filming career. It has been a spectacular career for him to act in so many films alongside the biggest names in the Bollywood industry. Well, not just in the Hindi film industry, but he featured in movies in seven languages in a career of around 40 years. Some of his most loved and hit movies are Aaj Ka Arjun, Baap Numbri Beta Dus Numbri, Brahmachari, Caravan, Do Aur Do Paanch, Geet Gaata Chal, Hare Raama Hare Krishna, Judaai, Kati Patang, and Mera Naam Joker.

Even if you have not watched these immensely popular Bollywood movies, you surely have heard all these names from your parents and grandparents. All the elder members of your family have surely loved watching these Hindi films and they still enjoy these movies even after so many years.
