lding in which Helen had trapped Don with her seductive dance number Yeh mera dil pyar ka deewana…..? Wanna know what is the real name of DSP D’Silva?


Well, his real name is Iftekar, Ian Indian Cinema's famous character actor, who ruled the 60s and 70s’ and was almost stereotyped as a Police officer. Among his hit films as a police officer include Zanjeer, Fakira, Johny Mera Naam, Daag, Ittefaq etc.


Besides police officer roles he even did many character roles in films like Sangam, Sholay, Nikaah, Mashaal etc. He even played negative roles too like Deewaar, Bandini, Sawan Bhadon etc.


Filmmaker Ravi Tondon conned film buffs in Khel Khel Mein (1975) due to his famous police officer image. In the film, he gave Iftekar the lead villain’s role as Black Cobra but movie buffs were fooled as he is recognized in cop roles so the audience felt Black Cobra is Dev Kumar (famous villain) but in the climax, it is revealed Dev Kumar is a cop and Iftekar Black Cobra!

When Iftekar returned to Kanpur after a flop stint in singing at Kolkatta, his father engaged him to a Muslim girl Sayeeda but when Iftekar went to Kolkatta for the second time to become an actor he fell in love with a Jew girl, residing in the same building.


 Initially, the girl Hannah Joseph, did not give much attention to Iftekar’s attempt to woo her but when she found that he was serious and a man of etiquette she gave in.


But there was stiff resistance from both the family. Hannah’s family being orthodox was quite opposed but since Iftekar’s father was a man of modern views, he approved the marriage.


 

Hannah Joseph accepted Islam and was rechristened as Rehana Ahmed.



Before marriage, Iftekar broke his ties with Sayeeda, with whom he was engaged.
