The 50s was the era of black and white classics, and the ruling stars included Dilip Kumar, the thespian, Raj Kapoor, the serio comedian and Dev Anand, the eternal romantic. Each had his own distinct style and 粉丝 following. I was an ardent admirer of Dev Anand from my teens.
I clearly remember watching and loving him in Funtoosh, Baarish, Kala Pani and 爱情 Marriage. He had the best looks and smile of his era and his puff was legion.
There was no better romantic actor than him. With his unique style and fluidity, he matched every 最佳, 返回页首 female actor — from Geeta Bali to Madhubala to Nutan to Waheeda Rehman. He had the rare ability to lip songs effectively for any singer be it Mohd. Rafi, Talat Mehmood, Hemant Kumar, Kishore Kumar 或者 even Manna De.
According to me, the abundance and versatility he displayed whilst lipping the number, Dene Wala Jab Bhi Deta, in Funtoosh remains a lesson in acting.
When I joined films in 1967, I was highly inspired 由 his 表演 style. He was amongst the first to view Aradhana and compliment me genuinely. As I rose in stature as an actor in the early 70s, I received healthy and clean competition from Anand, who was still going strong with a super hit like Johny Mera Naam. It really amuses me when some people say we shared bad vibes. How can anyone have any grudges against a genuine human being like him?
I really admired his total dedication to his work and ever youthful attitude towards life. I never saw him interfering unnecessarily in other’s matters. He was a thorough professional.
As I bid him a tearfull farewell, I sincerely pray that his soul rest in eternal peace. He will always remain alive in my heart. Dev Anand was my inspiration, my idol.

If in Andaaz, Kumar Sanu-voiced numbers became an emblem of mediocrity in music, Aradhana's Mere Sapno Ki Rani turned out to be a signature Rajesh Khanna tune of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
In a famous double role, Khanna flies high. Literally. Couldn't he have 给 a tip 或者 two to his rather handsome son-in-law?

When there can be a Forbes’ 列表 with the most beautiful women of the century; why, I ask, can’t there be the same for men? We girls, after all, need our eye-candy too. From the 最佳, 返回页首 of my head, I can think of heartthrobs like Rajesh Khanna, Robert Redford, Jeff Bridges and Rahul Khanna (top image) who have tugged at my heartstrings through the years.
