Sachin Pilgaonkar

Indian actor, director and producer (born 1957)

A child actor from the age of four who won a National Award before he was ten, and then managed the difficult transition to adult leading man - Geet Gaata Chal, Nadiya Ke Paar - which almost no Indian child star has done.

Ahmed in Sholay is a small part with a large consequence: it is his death that turns the village against Gabbar. He later became a significant director in Marathi cinema and a fixture of Indian television.
