Post Jagdeep’s Demise, Grandson Meezaan Jaaferi Recollects His Last Conversation With His Grandad
On July 8 yesteryear’s actor Jagdeep, better known for his character of Soorma Bhopali, breathed his last in Mumbai. Father to Jaaved Jaaferi and Naved Jaaferi, Jagdeep’s last rites took place yesterday morning. He was 81 and his real name was Syed Ishtiaq Ahmed Jafri. Jagdeep was reportedly suffering from a prolonged illness. To pay tribute to his grandfather, Meezaan, who made his Bollywood debut with Sanjay Leela Bhansali production Maalal in 2019, took to Insta to share his childhood picture with his grandfather. 

Now, Meezaan has once again taken to Twitter to write a love-filled note for his Dada. Meezaan started his note by talking about Jagdeep’s career in Hindi film industry. He wrote that his dada has worked with almost every actor of his generation and gave everyone a run for their money. “He was a stress buster for people watching him on screen and brought a smile to everyone's face. With having done 400 films his legacy lives on forever,” he added.

He went on to write that he’s upset because there are so many things he wanted to ask his grandfather and so many he wanted to say to him but he says they are meant for another time. He wrote, “I asked him one day why the name JAGDEEP and he said with a smile (which was perpetually on his face) he wanted to bring light into everyone’s life (jag- world, deep- light). He never interfered in anyone's life and always had a happy-go-lucky attitude and lunches at his house were like a storytelling session where people of all age groups sat down and listened like children. Thank you dada for passing on that knowledge and those stories on to my family and I. Today I’m upset because there are so many things I wanted to ask you and so many I wanted to say but I guess its meant for another time. I could go on and on about your accomplishments but I guess its time to let go. You’re not here physically but you will always be in our hearts.”

While ending his note for his grandfather, Meezaan requested people to spend more time with their grandparents. He asks people to make an effort to call their grandparents and speak to them at least for 2 minutes it will surely make their day. He wrote, “For those who have grandparents living with them or not living with them, PLEASE spend more time. I spoke to my Dada 2 days before his demise and my father passed him the phone while on facetime. All he said to me was “aur beta kaise ho, you're looking very handsome”. That's the last thing my grandfather said to me and I don't think ill ever forget that image. Make an effort to pick up the phone and speak to them for 2minutes it'll make their day because I promise you when the time comes for them to depart from this world, you will regret it no matter how much time you guys have spent together. However old, grumpy and irritating they have gotten, cherish every moment with them and make the most of it.” (ALSO READ: Jagdeep 'Soorma Bhopali' Passes Away: Heartbroken Over Grandfather’s Death Meezaan Receives Love From Rumoured GF Navya Naveli)
