The oldest Makeup Artist of Bollywood, 'Pandhari Juker' passed away on 18.02.2020. He can rightly be called as the makeup artist of all times for having completed his 60 years in the field of make up.
He is called as Pandhari Dada and there are hardly any Bollywood stars that he had skipped working with. He had almost worked with everyone from the times of Madhubala till the time he died. He had seen three generations and had set a benchmark for the Makeup artists who sprouted lately.
On hearing this deeply saddening news, Amithab Bhachan and Maduri Dixit paid homage on their twitter page, representing Pandhari Juker's palpable contribution in making the actors look better and feel confident in front of the camera.
He held the brush to enhance the trend for every decade. He is indeed the finest predecessor and the entire Bollywood industry will badly miss him.
Saddened to hear of the passing of Pandhari Dada, who has worked with everyone from Meena kumari to Madhubala to today. I have very fond memories of him working together in Tezaab, Ram Lakhan & many more. He made everyone look beautiful & elegant on screen. May soul rest in peace
