नई दिल्ली. आज के दौर में किसी बॉलीवुड एक्टर का हॉलीवुड फिल्म में काम करना बहुत बड़ी बात मानी जाती है, लेकिन सईद जाफरी ने यह उपलब्धि 60 के दशक में ही हासिल कर ली थी. उस जमाने में, जब भारतीय कलाकारों के लिए विदेशी सिनेमा के दरवाजे लगभग बंद थे, उन्होंने ब्रिटिश और अमेरिकी फिल्मों में अपनी एक खास पहचान बनाई. उनके अभिनय का लोहा न केवल भारत में माना गया, बल्कि सात समंदर पार भी उनकी कलाकारी की जमकर तारीफ हुई.
