Prem Chopra, who starred with Ajit in many films like Jugnu, Chupa Rustom and Ram Balram as father and son team, said Ajit was devoted in his work. He had a subtle sense of humour. He was a cultured man. We had a common interest -- reciting Urdu shairi.

I must have been hardly eight or ten years when my father used to take me to Paradise Bakery opposite which was Ajit's residence.

Acting in over 200 films, he specialised in playing suave villains with memorable catch-phrases delivered in now iconic Ajit style nasal drawls 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 comic purposes in 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 contemporaries 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.
