'''Sayedna Iftekhar Ahmed Sharif''' (22 February 1920 – 1 March 1995), often [[Mononymous people|mononymously credited]] as '''Iftekhar''', was an Indian actor who mainly worked in [[Hindi cinema]]. He is especially known for his roles as a police officer.

==Career==
Iftekhar was born in [[Jalandhar]] and was the eldest among four brothers and a sister. After completing his matriculation, Iftekhar did a diploma course in painting from Lucknow College Of Arts. Iftekhar had a passion for singing and was impressed with the famous singer [[K. L. Saigal|Kundanlal Sehgal]]. In his 20s, Iftekhar travelled to [[Kolkata|Calcutta]] for an audition conducted by the music composer Kamal Dasgupta, who was then serving for [[Saregama|HMV]]. Dasgupta was so impressed by Iftekhar's personality that he recommended his name to M. P. Productions as an actor.{{citation needed|date=July 2017}}

Iftekhar made his debut in the 1944 film ''Taqraar'', which was made under the banner of Art Films-Kolkata.{{citation needed|date=July 2017}}

Many of Iftekhar's close relatives, including his parents and siblings, migrated to Pakistan during the [[Partition of India|partition]]. He would have preferred to stay in India, but rioting forced him to leave Calcutta. Along with his wife and daughters, he moved to [[Mumbai|Bombay]], where they struggled to make ends meet. Iftekhar had been introduced to actor [[Ashok Kumar]] during his time in Calcutta and contacted him in Bombay, gaining a role in the Bombay Talkies movie ''Muqaddar'' (1950). Iftekhar acted in over 400 films in a career that spanned from the 1940s through to the early 1990s.
His brother, Imtiaz Ahmed, was a famous TV character actor of PTV, especially Afshan and Tanhaiyan .
Like many of the older character actors who populated the Bollywood universe of the 1960s and 1970s, Iftekhar had been a lead actor in his youth during the "golden age" of Bollywood, in the 1940s and 1950s. His roles ranged from father, uncle, great-uncle, grandfather, police officer, police commissioner, courtroom judge and doctor. He also did negative roles in ''[[Bandini (film)|Bandini]]'', ''[[Sawan Bhadon]]'', ''[[Khel Khel Mein]]'' and ''[[Agent Vinod (1977 film)|Agent Vinod]]''.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Iftekhar graduated to playing uncle, father, and what came to be his speciality: police inspector roles, doctor or senior advocate. Generally he played "sympathetic" characters but, on occasion, he played the heavy. One of his most memorable roles as a heavy was as [[Amitabh Bachchan]]'s corrupt industrialist mentor in [[Yash Chopra]]'s classic ''[[Deewaar]]'' (1975). Another of Iftekhar's classic roles was as the police inspector in [[Prakash Mehra]]'s ''[[Zanjeer (1973 film)|Zanjeer]]''. It was a small part, but the scene where Iftekhar reprimands the near-hysteric [[Amitabh Bachchan]] for taking the law into his own hands is incredibly powerful. Another important role as a police officer was played by him in the 1978 hit film ''[[Don (1978 film)|Don]]''. Some of his major roles came in Rajesh Khanna films such as ''[[Joroo Ka Ghulam]]'', ''[[Mehboob Ki Mehndi]]'', [[The Train (1970 film)|''The Train'']] , ''[[Khamoshi (1970 film)|Khamoshi]]'', ''[[Safar]]'', [[Raja Rani (1973 film)|''Raja Rani'']], [[Ittefaq (1969 film)|''Ittefaq'']], ''Rajput'' and ''Awam''.

Besides ''[[Deewaar]]'' and ''Zanjeer'', Iftekar had character roles in many of the classics of 1960s, 1970s, 1980s Bollywood cinema: Bimal Roy's ''[[Bandini (film)|Bandini]]'', Raj Kapoor's ''[[Sangam (1964 Hindi film)|Sangam]]'', Manoj Kumar's ''[[Shaheed (1965 film)|Shaheed]]'', ''[[Teesri Manzil]]'', ''[[Teesri Kasam]]'', ''[[Johny Mera Naam]]'', ''[[Hare Rama Hare Krishna (1971 film)|Hare Rama Hare Krishna]]'', ''[[Don (1978 film)|Don]]'', ''[[Gambler (film)|The Gambler (1971 film)]], [[Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se|Ankhiyon]]'' [[Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se|Ke Jharokhon Se]] (1978) and ''[[Sholay]]'', to name but a few.

Apart from [[Hindi]] films, he appeared in two episodes of the American TV series ''[[Maya (U.S. TV series)|Maya]]'' in 1967 as well the English language films ''[[Bombay Talkie]]'' (1970) and ''[[City of Joy (1992 film)|City of Joy]]'' (1992).

==Personal life==
Iftekhar married Hannah Joseph, a Jewish lady from [[Calcutta]], who changed her religion and name to Rehana Ahmed. They had two daughters; Salma and Sayeda.<ref>{{Cite web|title=इफ्तेख़ार ख़ान को गाने का था शौक पर बन गए अभिनेता|url=https://www.amarujala.com/kavya/mud-mud-ke-dekhta-hu/iftekhar-khan-life-story-in-words-of-his-daughter|access-date=2021-01-29|website=Amar Ujala|language=en}}</ref> Daughter Sayeda died of cancer on 7 February 1995.
