Sharing an image Jeetendra and Johnny's visit, a netizen named Johny Bava said: " Junior Mehmood, a veteran artist diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer, expresses desire to reunite with friends Jeetendra and Sachin Pilgaonkar. Jeetendra and Sachin visit Mehmood, offering help. Mehmood's children refuse assistance. Ali Asgar also visits the ailing star. Mehmood, known as Naeem Sayyed, started as a child artist and later directed Marathi films. Mehmood and Sachin formed a successful duo, working together in films like 'Bachpan' and 'Brahmachari'."

Jeetendra said he felt heart broken seeing his former colleague's condition.

“I am here by his bedside, but he is unable to recognise me. He is in so much pain, he is unable to open his eyes. To see him in this state breaks my heart,” he was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.

Junior Mehmood has worked in several memorable Bollywood movies like Brahmachari, Kati Patang, among others.
