When Wagle Ki Duniya – Nayi Peedhi Naye Kissey first took off, marking a new beginning, Sumeet Raghavan and Anjjan Srivastav paid a visit to the legendary RK Laxman’s Common Man statue at Worli. The on-screen father-son duo had initially visited the statue when the show kicked off three years ago, attributing the success of Wagle Ki Duniya to RK Laxman’s Common Man.
Actor Aanjjan Srivastav, who first gained fame with Wagle Ki Duniya, worked as a banker while starring in films and shows. During the filming of Amitabh Bachchan’s Shahenshah, in which Aanjjan played a small role, he was asked by his bank’s chairman to get an appointment with Big B. When the chairman asked the appointment to be set up in Delhi, Bachchan offered to meet him at Prateeksha, his residence in Mumbai.
Hindi cinema’s veteran actor Anjan Srivastav turned 73 on Wednesday. From theatre, television, to films, Srivastav has entertained his audience through various entertainment mediums over the years.
Srivastav even remained the Vice-President of Indian People’s Theatre Association (IPTA) for a while, considering his work in the theatre. The actor has even worked with Indian American filmmaker Mira Nair in her 1988 movie Salaam Bombay, and 1991 movie Mississippi Masala.
