“India’s first truly original and committed Indic filmmaker, Dadasaheb Phalke awardee Shri Manoj Kumar ji, left us today,” commented director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, who shared a still from one of his films. An arrogant patriot. a devout Hindu by nature. A visionary director who introduced a new language to Indian cinema: meaningful lyrics, song picturization, and films that were not only entertaining but also remembered to belong. He turned patriotism into a silent film. Without apology, he turned nationalism into poetry. He dared to be anchored in an era of borrowed voices and secondhand aesthetics. Artists like him and patriots never die. They just go beyond—into celluloid, into memory, into the pulse of the country.
Shashi Goswami & Manoj Kumar: A Timeless Love Story of Bollywood
Although all of his admirers like and remember his films, few are aware of the passionate love he shared with his wife, Shashi Goswami, who has been his long-time partner. In addition to being his life partner, she was his staunchest ally at all of his highs and lows. A closer look at the woman standing next to Bharat Kumar is shown below.

It happened when he went to a friend’s residence in Old Delhi to study. The first time I ever met Shashi was when I was graduating and used to study at one of my friends’ houses in Old Delhi, he remarked.I swear to God that I had never in my life seen a girl with malice, but there was something so alluring about Shashi that I couldn’t take my eyes off her face. And we had seen each other from a distance for a year and a half. because, at the time, none of us had the guts to approach the other.” Although it began timidly and cautiously, the love only got stronger over time.
The couple started going together more frequently as their affections for one another grew, generally with friends and frequently at the movies. However, Shashi’s situation was more difficult, even though Manoj’s family encouraged their relationship. The ‘Kranti’ actor revealed, “After watching the film together with our friends, we had started meeting more frequently.Shashi’s mother and brother opposed us, but my parents had no problem with our relationship. In order to see each other without anyone noticing, Shashi would go to the terrace of her house and I would go to the terrace of my college.
