- Sanjeev Kumar was one actor who improved his performance tremendously at the dubbing stage with his marvelous voice control. The quiver in his emotionally saturated voice was as important an element of his acting as small casual getsures like running his hand
 down his neck. He never minded dyeing his hair if the role required it and even played much older men in films like Aandhi, Mausam, Sholay (1975) and Trishul (1978). In fact, in Sholay he played Jaya Bhaduri's father-in-law.
- A bachelor, Sanjeev Kumar died of an acute heart ailment in 1985
- The Rajshris auditioned him for Aarti (1962) opposite Meena Kumari but he flopped in the audition and was rejected.

Sanjeev wasnt sure as Ghai told him it was a tiny role and Sanjeev told him he had enough playing those side roles but Ghai could persuade him and told him he would be paid very high for the role of Inspector Damodor Mathur because it was an important role, days later Sanjeev told Subhash Ghai that if Ghai was ready to pay him the amount he wanted, the role must be Huge.
- Aghar Moti Rakam dene ko tayaar ho to Role bhi Mota hoga - Subash quoted Sanjeev. (Translated: If you are ready to pay a Huge amount than the role must be Huge too. )
