One of the most attractive actors of Hindi films, Joy Mukherjee inherited the film background from her father Shashidhar Mukherjee. He nurtured his inherited acting talent and gradually he joined the list of popular actors of the 60s.

Favored by female fans, Joy Mukherjee’s film career started with her father Shashidhar’s home-production film Love in Shimla. The 1960 film proved to be a huge success for Joy Mukherjee and co-starring Sadhna. Joy Mukherjee’s performance as Dev in Love in Shimla was highly appreciated. In 1964 and 1966, he gave two more successful films – Ziddi and Love in Tokyo.

He made his acting debut in many films in a very short span of time. His romantic pairings with well-known and successful actresses like Asha Parekh, Adhana, Mala Sinha and Saira Banu were highly appreciated. The 1963 film Phir Wahi Dil Laya Hoon was a notable film in the career of Joy Mukherjee, in which she played the most memorable role of her career. Soon, Joy Mukherjee reached the heights of success. Time passed and Joy Mukherjee’s image started getting tarnished with the emergence of other actors like Dharmendra, Jitendra, Rajesh Khanna. In view of his declining popularity, Joy Mukherjee started doing only select films. Along with showcasing his art in the field of acting, he also turned to producing and directing films. Unfortunately, he could not get success even in film production and direction. Beyond the film career, Joy Mukherjee also made her presence felt on the small screen. In 2009, he made his acting debut in the serial Ae Dil-e-Nadan.

acting opportunity

Shashidhar Mukherjee, who was called the Adiguru of film sources, had a filmy family, but his son Joy Mukherjee did not like to become a film actor. Child Joy Mukherjee used to watch his film activities closely by being present around his father. All the shooting scenes seemed like a spectacle to him. Joy Mukherjee intended to achieve international fame by becoming a tennis player. When he did B.A. When he was studying, then one day his father asked what he wanted to do in his life? Along with this question, he also put the contract of the film “Hum Hindustani” in front of Joy. Joy reluctantly signed the film thinking that Chalo would get a good amount for pocket money. When the trial show of the film took place, he ran away from the preview theater and came home. He could not stand his acting and looks on screen.

BA third class in

Joy Mukherjee did not have the lines to become a tennis player. He got two-three more film offers. In the beginning they were hesitant. Gradually, his interest in films increased. The result of this also came to the fore. He did his B.A. He lagged behind in his studies and passed in third division. In those days filmmaker Bimal Rai was going to make the film ‘Parakh’. He watched a few of Joy’s films and offered him the role of the protagonist for Parakh. Due to his excessive busyness, Joy refused. Bimal Rai completed that film with Basant Chaudhary.

love in shimla

Joy Mukherjee’s second film was Love in Shimla. It was directed by new director RK Nayyar. Sadhna, who had worked in a Sindhi film, was cast as the heroine. Most of the shooting of this film was done in Shimla. During the shoot, some Tanakashi’s voices echoed in Joy’s ears from the crowd gathered around the audience – Yeh Kya Hero Banega? What will he act? Has he seen his face in the mirror? Hearing all this, Joy kept silent as he did not have any superhit film to answer.

Love in Shimla movie proved to be a super hit. Joy received star status. Sadhna invented a new hair style, which became popular among girls as ‘Sadhana Cut’. It was during Love in Shimla that RK Nayyar and Sadhana also fell in love. Later he changed into marriage.
