As we all know, Sholay is considered one of the greatest and most influential Bollywood films of all time.
The blockbuster movie of its time is still known and remembered for its memorable dialogues and flabbergasting iconic actors such as Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, and Dharmendra. Surprisingly, some individuals still have yet to experience this masterpiece, and Vijay Shekhar Sharma, the founder, and CEO of the digital payment’s platform Paytm is one of them.
Vijay Sharma recently shocked netizens many by admitting that he has never watched Sholay or any other classic films from 1975. Vijay mentioned this information on a journalist’s Twitter post where she listed all the blockbusters from 1975.
She has listed around 10 iconic movies, which include Aandhi, Chupke Chupke, Deewar, Sholay, and more.
Sharma replied to the tweet, saying, “I haven’t watched any of these!”
And, I haven’t watched any of these !
(Yes, not even Sholay) https://t.co/7K4f6T75mw— Vijay Shekhar Sharma (@vijayshekhar) March 3, 2023
Netizens took this opportunity to tell the Paytm CEO what he has missed in his life and why he must watch Sholay at least. Someone replied to his tweet stating,
“You desperately need a long movie marathon break.”
You desperately need a long movie marathon break 😊

The Twitter post suddenly got flooded with numerous comments suggesting that Sharma is missing something good in his life.
Don't watch until @Paytm reaches IPO listing level stock price… 2250 inr
Make @Paytm profitable and not just ebitda prof.

That is a disadvantage of growing up in cable era. DD had run Chupke Chupke several times in late 70s and 80s.
