Never Say Die "Romance !" - Dashing Debonair - Dev Anand
Never
Say Die “Romance !” – Dashing Debonair – Dev Anand
Famous Dev Anand dialogue from Hindi movie Guide “Ye zindagi bhi ek nasha hai mere dost”.
‘Romancing with Life’ is Dev Anand’s autobiography. The legendary Bollywood
personality was beyond his time.
Dev Anand, for close to 60 years, had women swooning to his charm. And, for obvious reasons, he was linked to many of his leading ladies.
Love and Romance -
A
mutual craziness for each other is called romance. At times the divine attraction to each other
ends up in romance. It becomes difficult
to live without each others company and such a situation is romantic unison. The eagerness to sacrifice one’s own well
being for the happiness of the soul mate finds height of romance and true
unselfish love. Even a momentary separation becomes unbearable in true
love. Being human and sensitive to
others interest finds virtue in a person.
The persons in love bonds well more than skin deep and upholds the emotion
of desire for each other.
Dev Romantic Hero
A mystical romantic
hero of Bollywood “Dev Anand” was a never say die attitude filmmaker and
romantic hero of hundreds of Hindi films.
The actor, director, producer and writer untiringly continued to produce
films after films and acting in it as a hero irrespective of the fact that his
films were hits or misses. He produced, directed and acted in a number of Hindi
films which were runaway hits with Indian audience. The late actor had an
onscreen romance with several famed heroines of Hollywood and wedded one of
them in real life. Many of the most
beautiful damsels debuted in his films had made it big in Hindi films
later. Zeenat Aman, Tina Munim, Tabu,
Vayjayantimala, Geeta Bali, Madhubala, Mumtaz, Meena Kumari, Nutan, Suraiya,
Waheeda Rehman and Hema Malini are some of the Dev Anand film heroines who made
it big in Hindi Films. The credit of
launching these heroines goes to Dev Anand.
Dev Anand is something
of a Bollywood Institution. His Romantic Persona, Dialogue Delivery, Song Picturizations and Mannerisms are legend, and for generations of film goers he
has remained Hindi Cinema’s most charismatic personality. His disarming and infectiously charming smile
and dashing personality used to be a topic of discussion in the Bollywood
circles and filmy parties. His fans
enjoyed his never say die attitude and his romance with Hindi films. He wielded the megaphone as movie director in
“Awwal Number” starring reigning super star - India’s conscience idol or who
ignited India’s social justice crusade with his television shows and became a
social icon - Aamir Khan about the game of cricket and it was a super duper hit
at the box office. He romanced Hema
Malini in “Johnny Mera Naam” and Zeenat Aman in “Heeralal
Pannalal”. Tina Munim a Dev Anand discovery debuted in
his film Des Pardes and acted in his another project based on Hollywood biggie
My Fair Lady with a Bollywood title “Man Pasand”. Tabu was another sterling discovery made by
Dev Saheb in his film “Hum Naujawan”.
BIOGRAPHY -
Born in Punjab and wedded to Bollywood Dev Anand conquered millions of fans and rock-n-rolled into the hearts of movie going public in India. He demonstrated a flamboyant exterior and his colorful costumes were admirably fashionable too
The different types of
hats he sported always projected as an emblem of romance on a celluloid hero.
This romantic action
hero is a cult figure today and to be rated as one of the stars who deserved
hero-worship. The thespian had stolen
the hearts of millions of young ladies across India. His lady fans were from juvenile to budding
young girls who followed him with dreamy and dewy eyes and he was a matinee idol
to be loved and worshiped for them. The
unquestionable talent and jovial presentation of himself goes hand-in-hand with
the hunk Dev Anand.
Being born in a
prosperous Punjabi family Dev has stolen the hearts of Indians through his
portrayal of multifarious characters on the celluloid. Dev Anand was an icon for generations and he
thoroughly entertained movie lovers throughout five to six decades.
The Anand brothers - Dev, Manmohan, Vijay and Chetan - all the brothers were associated with Bollywood in one way or the other. His son Suniel Anand too acted in Hindi movies as a hero. He also had a daughter named Devina from his movie star wife Kalpana Kartik.
A rich tribute to an
evergreen hero – A dashing Debonair
Another dashing debonair and an eternally youthful persona, a man of wisdom and virtue was considered as a paternal figure by me. My interest about choosing Dev Anand as a topic in JOHNNY’S BLOG was greatly influenced by that magnanimous persona. I take liberty to write in this BLOG something very personal and emotional with a great reverence to my paternal figure. My tribute to the close to chest character the one and only who deeply influenced my life and times could not be forgotten not only meriting a mention in my internationally successful BLOG but also everything about my very own existence in this world. Being an unlucky boy who lost his parents in his early childhood and having not blessed with any siblings I grew up more like an orphan even though the relatives of both my parents supported and avoided me to end up not to experience such a feeling. I did not have even a faintest memory of my biological parents.
This key factor – my
paternal figure - in my life really assured and insured my future in a more
than abstract manner. The love
sentiments transpired between the two were not more eloquent but abstract. The love chord truly merited deep sentiments
and was a matter of envy for others. I
have no doubt whatsoever about his true love and feelings for me and he did not
hide his feelings for me by recommending my case to the power brokers in the
organization as it all happened in a workstation. Our love story was more subtle and abstract
and it had a very pious and serene emotions involved in that. It is my firm belief that the departed soul
will definitely shower his blessings from heaven on me. The mystical screen of this love always found
moist in my eyes. I have stood up to
people who challenged this love connect and maintained our true feelings no
holds barred.
There was no element of
selfishness in our relationship from both sides and it was never dominated by
such tendencies and not to be discussed exploitation.
I was the blue eyed boy
and apple of the eye for him. Though he
had biological children from his wedlock, I remained his “beta” or son not to
be questioned.
The unadulterated love
sentiments always remained with me even though he is no more in this
world. Whenever I remembered him my eyes
used to well up with tears and throat became heavy and I have never allowed
anyone to malign that divine love sentiments.
Neither the love got
evaporated like a dry ice nor melt like an ice-cream scoop. It gives me joy and
fond remembrance to uphold his love for me.
The sunny and rosy side
was always a matter of pride and reason for jubilation. He was a great human being and commanded
respect from everyone who came across during his lifetime. He was one of those few people who creates an
everlasting impression and remains immortal after the inevitable disappearance
from this eternal world.
I pay my homage and rich tribute to the great man through my BLOG
which I developed with great passion and resonating my ideas. About 2,00,000 viewership already my Blog is
loved by national and international fraternity as 50% of my readers are from United
States of America. I salute my patrons
for giving me an international platform to choose and present my topics with
great care, love and success. Needless
to mention that 2,000 views are considered good for a successful blogger.

Biography …Contd.
After having played the
Lead Actor for more than five decades in about 114 motion pictures, Dev Anand
continues to bestride Indian Cinema today. He has given a new dimension to that
magical state known as Stardom. And for his exemplary work he was awarded the
Padma Bhushan in 2001 by the President of India. From the time he embarked on
his career as a Film Actor in the mid-forties till now, his movies has been a
journey filled with enriching experiences for the 'Evergreen Living Legend' of
Indian Cinema. And he has always remained eternally youthful by his remarkable
ability to live always in the present and the future; never in the past.
Also, as head of his film production company Navketan International Films, which was founded in 1949, Anand has introduced a multitude of talent to the Indian Film Industry by way of actors, directors, music composers and cinematographers. Today, he continues to introduce new talent to cinema and experiment with new ideas for movies. And today, he also heads one of the finest Film Sound Post-Production facilities in India - Anand Recording Studios - which has to its credit more than 3,000 Indian feature films that have been mixed/ surround mixed for worldwide release.
Anand has won two Filmfare Awards - India's equivalent of the Oscars - in 1958 for his performance in the film "Kala Paani" (Black Water) and in 1966 for his performance in Navketan International Films' "Guide". "Guide" went on to win Filmfare Awards in five other categories including 'Best Film' and 'Best Director' and was sent as India's entry for the Oscars in the foreign film category that year. He co-produced the English Version of "Guide" with the Nobel Laureate Pearl S. Buck ("The Good Earth"). Eventually, his creative sensibilities got the better of him and he started writing and directing his own movies.
In 1993, he received a Filmfare 'Lifetime Achievement Award' and in 1996 he received a Screen Videocon 'Lifetime Achievement Award'. Then in 1997 he was given the Mumbai Academy of Moving Images Award for his Outstanding Services to the Indian Film Industry.

Family history & acting laurels –
Dev Anand was born as Dharam Dev on September 26, 1923, in the Punjabi-speaking Anand family, son to Advocate Pishorimal, younger brother to Chetan and Manmohan, and senior to Vijay. He had one sister, Sheela, who was subsequently married in the Kapur family, and gave birth to actor/film-maker, Shekhar Kapur; two daughters, Neelu, who was married to actor Navin Nischol; and Aruna who was the wife of Ajay/Parikshat Sahni, son of renowned Balraj Sahni. Both Neelu and Aruna have since been divorced.
Dev graduated from Government College, Lahore, British India, left his hometown to work in the Military Censor Office at Churchgate, Bombay. He was offered a role in the 1946 flick 'Hum Ek Hain'. This is where he stuck a friendship with Bollywood legend Guru Dutt.
Ashok Kumar introduced Dev as a leading man opposite Kamini Kaushal in 'Ziddi'. Thereafter there has been no looking back for the 'evegreen' Dev Anand, who went on to star in 114 movies, spanning from 1946 through to 2005.
He is perhaps one of the few who dreamed of starlet Snehprabha Pradhan and had his dream come true when he got to not only meet her but also act with her. His other dream was of owning a car, a Hillman, was also fulfilled.
While filming opposite Singer-actress Suraiya, the boat capsized, Dev rescued her and in true Bollywood style both fell in love and wanted to get married. This did not happen as Suraiya's grandma strongly opposed this alliance. Suraiya, who acted with Dev in half a dozen movies, remained unmarried all her life.
In 1954 Dev met Mona Singh, a beauty queen from Simla, who was discovered by his brother, Chetan, and both got married her in a quiet ceremony in Russia where they were on a tour to screen 'Rahee' and 'Aandhiyan'. She adapted the screen name of Kalpana Kartik, and starred opposite her to-be-husband in all her movies. Both became parents in 1956 when Suneil was born. They also become parents to a daughter, Devina.
Dev is also known for introducing two of the most beautiful actresses to Bollywood, namely Zeenat Aman in 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna' and Tina Munim in 'Des Pardes.
Not easily intimidated, Dev Anand, Shatrughan Sinha, Inder Sen Johar, Kishore Kumar were amongst the few that actually stood up against the authoritarian and oppressive regime of Indira Gandhi during the Emergency, while many in the opposition preferred to flee India to escape Mrs. Gandhi's wrath. He founded the now extinct National Party of India.
The Anand Brothers founded Navketan Films which is being administered by Suneil.
He was honored with the Padma Bhushan and Dadasaheb Palke awards during the years 2001 and 2002 respectively, in addition to winning three Filmfare Awards - one each for his performance in 'Kala Paani' and 'Guide'; and the third being the Lifetime Achievement award that was presented to him during 1991. During 1996 he received the 'Screen Videocon Lifetime Achievement' Award.
His autobiography 'Romancing with Life' was released during his 2007 birthday party. In February 2011 his 1961 hit 'Hum Dono' was colorized and re-released.
Due to health reasons Dev and Suniel had traveled to London, Britain and had booked a room in The Washington Hotel. His son was present with him when at 03:30 hours GMT on Sunday December 3, 2011, he passed away in his sleep after a sudden cardiac arrest. Paramedics were summoned but were unable to revive him. He is survived by his wife, Kalpana; son, Suniel; and daughter, Devina. On December 10, 2011, he was cremated in West London's Putney Vale Crematorium. His remains were taken to India and immersed in the Godavari River. He was 88.
Condolences poured in from every corner of India, including ones from President Pratibha Patil; Prime Minister Manmohan Singh; Parliament Speaker Meira Kumar; Information & Broadcasting Minister, Ambika Soni, in addition to ones from prominent Bollywood and other personalities like Salman Rushdie.
This ever-green legend with an endearing toothy grin, long-sleeved shirts, with a unique gait and dialogue delivery will never be forgotten.

it will get public sanction. Sometimes outstanding films do no business, and
sometimes films which are not so good work.

I keep drawing inspiration from people every day.
All of a sudden, something strikes me so hard and dramatically, and then a
dream comes - I sit down, cut it off and make a script out of it.
Motion picture making is a very, very involved
affair. It is completely my baby. I'm a thorough professional. I plan films
right from the conception of an idea to its final execution.
Another famous dialogue of Dev Anand from Hindi Film “GUIDE” –
Jis jagah ko dekh kar parmatma ki yaad aaye ... woh tirth
kehlata hai ... aur jis aadmi ke darshan se parmatma mein bhakti jage ... woh
Mahatma kehlata hai -
"The sight of a place that reminds you of the supreme soul ... is
called a pilgrimage ... and the sight of the man which raises devotion in the supreme
soul ... that man is called a Mahatma or a Great Man."
