In 1998, Jugal composed the title song for his friend Karan Johar’s first film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. This song became a super hit and went on to become a Dharma Productions theme song. He then went on to serve as writer and director for the 2008 computer animated film Roadside Romeo. This film was produced jointly by Yash Raj Films and Walt Disney Studios, and featured the voices of Saig Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Javed Jaffrey.

Born July 11, 1965, Kumar Gaurav is an Indian film actor and son of the late actor Ranjendra Kumar. In 1981, he made his film debut opposite fellow debutante actress Vijayta Pandit in Love Story, which was produced by his father who also starred alongside him in the film. This film was very popular and played at the box office for a long period of time. His next film was the 1982 release Teri Kasam with actress Poonam Dhillon. Then in 1984, after two years of dating, he married Namrata Dutt, sister of actor Sanjay Dutt. His acting career continued on with Mahesh Bhatt’s film Janam in 1985. His understated performance in this film is still considered his career’s best. Having produced his earlier films, his father tried to revive his career with the 1993 film Phool which had him paired with the top actress of the time Madhuri Dixit. This film also had his father and father-in-law in supporting roles. With no luck from this film either, he took a long break from acting. During this period, he only completed delayed films which were all released in 1996. He then went on to make a few appearances in some television series before being seen on the big screen again in 2000 with his delayed release, Gang.

After writing for a few movies from 1956 onwards, he first found success in 1962 with Mehendi Lagi Mere Heath.

However, he got his real breakthroughs in 1965 with Himalay Ki God Mein, and a huge breakthrough again in 1965 with the super-hit film Jab Jab Phool Khile, starring Shashi Kapoor; and yet again in 1967 with the super-hit movie Milan, starring Sunil Dutt. These six films within a decade of his entry into Bollywood cemented his status as a lyricist of immense calibre. Bakshi went on to become the preferred lyricist by Rajesh Khanna. Throughout his career, he went on to work as a lyricist for over 3500 songs and 638 films. In addition to his songwriting career, he got his first break as a singer in a film directed by Mohan Kumar – Mom Ki Gudiya.

He later went on to sing songs in four other films. Later in his life, he suffered from heart and lung disease as the consequence of lifelong smoking, and in March 2002, he caught a bacterial infection during a minor heart surgery.
