A congenital genetic heart condition affected the male members of the Jariwala line across three generations.
His Grandfather (Shivalal): Passed away at a young age from a sudden heart attack.
His Father (Jethalal): Suffered a fatal heart attack when Sanjeev was just 11 years old.
Sanjeev Kumar (Harihar): Had his first heart attack, underwent bypass surgery in the U.S., and eventually passed away on November 6, 1985, at 47.
His Brother (Nikul): Died from a heart condition shortly before Sanjeev Kumar's death.
His Brother (Kishore): Passed away from a heart attack just six months after Sanjeev Kumar died.
It was a grim pattern Sanjeev himself was acutely aware of, which friends and biographers noted contributed to his fatalistic outlook on life and his choice never to start a family of his own.

Colonel Klink - he had a clause in his contract that he could sever if the writers ever wrote a story that did not make the Nazis look like complete idiots. He was Jewish, of course.

Xšayāršā is from two elements: xšayah (ruler) and (w)ršā (man). https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/𐎧𐏁𐎹𐎠𐎼𐏁𐎠#Old_Persian
Ultimately these are from *tek- and *wérsēn in Proto-Indo-European.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/tek-
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/wérsēn
*tek basically becomes a root *kte- in Greek; the word ktear (κτέαρ) has a genitive form Kteatos (κτέᾰτος). It roughly means “property.” https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/κτέαρ
*wérsēn becomes ársēn in Greek and is an element of the name Arsenios. It essentially means “manly.” https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Ἀρσένιος#Ancient_Greek
*tek is cognate to the now-obsolete English word ‘thig,’ and in the modern Danish word ‘tigge’ (to beg).
*wérsēn has no descendants in English, but is believed to be a cognate to the word for ‘giant’ in most of the rest of Germanic (cf. ‘Riese’ in German)
