Ashok Saraf has been a stalwart of Marathi cinema for decades and along with Laxmikant Berde and Sachin Pilgaonkar, is considered a stalwart of Marathi cinema. Primarily known for his excellent comic timing, he is fondly known as Mama in the world of cinema. Be it Dhananjay Mane played by him in Aashihi Banwabanvi or industrialist Yadunath Khabikar Dhumdhadka, he has nailed every role given to him. He has also acted in Hindi cinema like Karan Arjun and Koyla and is best known for his TV show Hum Paanch in the 90s. The veteran actor had a distinctive style statement, which was not seen in Marathi cinema in those days.

Ardent fans of Ashok Saraf noticed that the actor almost always appeared on screen with the first two buttons of his shirt unbuttoned. He was seen like this in almost all the movies he acted in and while it may seem like he was trying to make a fashion statement, the truth is he just did it for the fun of it.

In an interview, when Ashok Saraf was asked why he always kept the first two buttons of his shirt unbuttoned, he said that he was uncomfortable acting and delivering dialogues if the shirt was buttoned up to the collar. Having the first two buttons allowed him to perform freely and that’s why he did it. However, people accepted it as a style statement and many people started following them.

Ashok Saraf recently made a comeback under the direction of actor Riteish Deshmukh in the romantic drama film Ved. The film starred Riteish alongside his wife Genelia D’Souza and has become the third highest grossing Marathi film of all time.
