Longest career spans in Bollywood

Who has had the longest career spans in bollywood both Actors and Actresses?

I can think of 4 on top of my head

Dharmendra, he is just started his 61st year in Bollywood as an actor, he is still acting, his next movie Apne 2 in 2021. ( 1960 - present), hopefully he will act many more years still.

Ashok Kumar had a very long career of 60 Years (1936 - 1996)

Shammi Kapoor 59 years ( 1952 - 2011)

Dev Anand 59 years ( 1946 - 2005)

Who else? is there any one who has acted more then these people?

Lalita Pawar 71 years

Raja Harishchandra 1928 

to

Laash 1998

Paidi Jairaj 75 years

Jagmagti Jawani 1930

to

Run 2004

We need to see relevant career spans. Just doing a random movie here and there doesn't exactly mean there was a career doing.

Rajesh khanna did a few ridiculous films after a long gap in his career. I would hardly consider that as part of his career. It only artificially elongates the career but not in reality

All the actors I mentioned have had very relevant career spans, they were all active, and Dharmendra has been active over the last 60 years, only taking a short break in early 2000's

Other than the ones mentioned in this thread:

Zohra Sehgal (from the 30s to early 2000s)

Amitabh Bachchan (from the 60s)

Asrani (from the 60s)

A.K.Hangal (from the 50s or even earlier to early 2000s)

Jagdeep (from the 50s to a few years ago)

I think there are a lot more that I can't think of right now.

You have posted some incorrect information, but it's okay because I have fact-checked it for you.

Dev Anand's career span is actually 6 years longer than you have given him credit for. His last film was Chargesheet (2011). Which brings his total to 65 years.

Ashok Kumar has a slightly longer span than you credited him for because 1936-1997 is actually 61 years, not 60. 

Rishi Kapoor has a career span of 65 years. First film appearance: Shree 420 (1955), final: 2 upcoming projects which he filmed just before he passed away in 2020.

Devanand Sahab carrier was 66 years long 1945-2011

Anand Sahab started with 'Hum ek hai' (1945) and ended with 'Chargesheet' (2011)

Sanjay Dutt-1981 to present(except when he was in jail)

I am like it's Lata Mangeshkar.
