Jayant Kripalani

When I chanced upon this trove full of erstwhile gems, I was delighted to see this very likable gem which featured one of my favorite television stars of all time.




I have admired this gentleman for his frame, his mane, his persona, that naughty glint in his eyes and more than anything else that sugar-salt-pepper coated grainy voice of his with such fantastic voice character.

Then he chewed up the scenery when he teamed up with Farooque Sheikh, another favorite of mine, on Ji Mantriji (2002) for Star Plus; a series that ranks high high on my lists for being synonymous with class and sheer class. Now it looks like he is in the company of good men at Exper.




Gosh! nostalgia is so injurious to one's mental health.
