He was the son of the classic comedian actor Agha, Jalal Agha was a renowned actor in the Hindi film industry who rose to popularity during the 1970s. He is best known for featuring in the super hit song 'Mehbooba Mehbooba' in the cult film Sholay (1975) as the free-spirited banjo player.
Although he graduated from the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) in Pune, he had made his mark as an actor far earlier as a child artist. When the veteran actor Dilip Kumar chanced upon him, he considered the child Jalal Agha as the perfect choice to be cast as the young Jehangir in the film Mughal-e-Azam (1960).
As an adult, his first film was Bambai Raat Ki Bahon Mein (1967) at the age of 21. He was a prolific actor and worked in over 60 films from the late 1960s until his death in 1995. Although he acted mostly in supporting roles, he was still a well-known face in the industry and commended for his talent. Some of his most popular roles were in Yaadon Ki Baraat (1973) as Salim, Thodi Si Bewafai (1980), as the brother of the female lead, and Julie (1975), as Julie's lover Richard. He has also worked in English language films which included the popular film Gandhi (1982), as well as Bombay Talkie (1970), and Kim (1984).

Lead singer of underground art school comedy/jazz band (with Neil Innes), The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, Viv soon became known as one of Britain's foremost eccentrics. Born in Oxfordshire and brought up as a cockney in east London and Essex, Viv was characterised by his almost aristocratic English accent which he would punctuate with very out-of-place belches and obscenities. By the late 60s, Viv had changed from the dapper, witty eccentric of his youth to a cynical, almost hollow-eyed wreck - often seen in a state of advanced alcoholism, with a shaved head, knotted beard and trademark octagonal glasses. Perhaps his most famous creation is Sir Henry of Rawlinson's End - who first appeared on a Bonzos LP, a later became a radio series and finally a movie. Eerily, the real Sir Henry Rawlinson, of whom Viv was unaware, died exactly 100 years to the day before Viv.- Nancy O'Neil was born on 25 August 1907 in Glebe, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
