movies and had very close association with him.
Besides these south indian
remakes, there was a subdued side of Jeetendra whenever he'd worked with
the writer/lyricist Gulzar in films like Parichay, Kinara (1977 film)
and Khushboo (1975 film) that had several beautifully penned songs like
'O Majhi Re', 'Musafir Hoon Yaaron', and 'Naam Gum Jaayega', composed by

the judges of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa (Indian Dance Series), an Indian dance
competition on Sony Entertainment Television.[citation needed] He was
also a judge with Hema Malini of a competition called Dancing Queen.
