Veteran actor Jagdeep will be laid to rest at a cemetery in south Mumbai on Thursday. Jagdeep died on July 8 at 8.30 pm at his residence in Bandra. He was 81 and had not been keeping well because of age related issues.

The actor kept picking up big and small roles in his early career, impressing directors like Bimal Roy, who cast him as shoe-shiner Lalu Ustad in his 1953 film ‘Do Bigha Zamin’.

May his soul rest in peace!
