Ajit (Hindi: अजित, Urdu: اَجِت, stage name of Hamid Ali Khan, born January 27, 1922 in Golconda, died of cardiac arrest on October 22, 1998 in Hyderabad) was an Indian Bollywood film actor.
Acting in over 200 films, he specialised in playing suave villains with memorable catch-phrases such as "Mona, darling" and comic threats such as "Dump this man in liquid oxygen. The liquid won't let him survive, the oxygen won't let him die". Ajit also brought to fame the smuggler as the villain. In his movies, he is generally seen smuggling gold biscuits in or out of the country. It has also been noted that most of his gang members had Christian names like Robert, Michael, Peter etc. This also has been used for comedic purposes in future parodies.
It was the menacing voice he was most famous for. He is still remembered for bringing the most famous villains in the history of Indian cinema to life. His contempraries include veteran actors like Amrish Puri, Pran,Prem Chopra and Amjad Khan.
Some of his popularity in present time is due to the innumerable jokes and parodies made on his famous lines by comedians, including his own son (Andaaz Apna Apna).
