    It is very sad indeed that Joy sahib is no more.He was my childhood hero.He was from Jhansi my native place.I know his uncles at jhansi.One of the greatest personalities of his times.Now a days the actors have no personality.They are shot statured,like ritikh deshmukh squinted,shahrukh khan they do not have personality nowadays ,like tall actors-jitendra,rajesh ,shammi kapoor dharmendra,amitabh bacchan etc-the actors are now piddi-dwarfs from LILLIPUT
