Keshto, Yes a name that is synonymous with with a bumbling drunkard. With rare exceptions his roles in films have been generally brief. But always memorable. In his first appearance on the Hindi screen in film 'Musafir' (1957) as a street performer (accompanied by Heera Sawant and no less than Shailendra himself as the performer's team), he portrays a person afflicted with polio. His dance in the song "Tedhi Tedhi Hum Se Phire Saari Duniya" must have been a painful experience, as he shakes and dances and falls on the ground, then gets up, and falls again, at times sliding on the ground. But in fact he is a normal person - at the end of the song, there is a brief dialogue between him and Kishore Kumar, where he stands up straight, giving a fright to Kishore. 😆😆 Couple additional points about the information in the video above. During his career, he has appeared in more than 170 films in all. Also, there are two songs that have been picturised on him in Hindi films. In the 1957 film 'Naya Zamaana', he has performed the song "Aaj Is Nagri Kal Us Nagri, Dhuyen Ki Gaadi Udaaye Liye Jaaye". Then in the 1977 film 'Chala Murari Hero Ban'ne', a portion of an old song from film 'Kohinoor' (1960) - "Do Sitaaron Ka Zameen Par Hai Milan" is performed by him on screen. Thanks for documenting the story of this short-roles-comedian, who has left an indelible mark in the memory of cine goers. The comedians / comediennes series is a delight. 👍
