Jeetendra's active acting career spanned the 1960s to the 1990s. Jeetendra got his first major break of his life with V. Shantaram's Boond jo ban gayee moti (1964). However, it was the film "Farz" (1967) that served as his stepping stone to success. The tee shirt and white shoes he picked up from a retail store for the "Mast Baharon Ka Main Aashiq" number in "Farz", became his trademark. "Farz" was followed by films such as "Caravan" and "Humjoli", in which Jeetendra had more dance numbers. His vigorous dancing in the films won him the epithet; "Jumping Jack of Bollywood".
