On Balraj Sahni's birth anniversary, let's salute the first method actor of India

Firstpost  

Balraj Sahni never acted. Not until Raj Khosla ’s Do Raaste in 1969 where Balraj gave a profoundly moving performance as the patriarch desperately trying to keep the family together, did Balraj Sahni find commercial success. Satta Bazar in 1959 and Bhabhi Ki Chudiyaan in 1961 revolved completely around Meena Kumari’s character, though admittedly Balraj was outstanding as the husband In 1953 Bimal Roy gave Balraj his first of several memorable roles in Do Bigha Zameen. Some think Balraj Sahni was greater in M S Sathyu’s Garam Hawa. Balraj Sahni as Salim Mirza gives what many film experts consider the one single-most flawless performance in the history of Hindi cinema.
