Ranjeet is one of the most successful and memorable villains of Hindi Cinema. He was at his peak in the 70s and 80s and the lecherous characters he portrayed on the screen only magnified his menace.
In an interview with The Indian Express, he spoke about playing those characters on the celluloid, being thrown out of his house for doing so, and the existence of Nepotism even back in the 70s. First talking about his villainous persona, Ranjeet said, "When I was not married, the image never bothered me. However, back then, people would believe that you are what you play. I remember I used to go to Delhi to visit my daughter on weekends. We would go to restaurants."
