Songs + Quotes

Today I bring to you a new playlist on one of my favourite film personalities.

He would have turned 70 next year had he been here with us.

He was an actor, producer and director who has charmed us with his good looks, enchanting smiles and superb acting in over 100 Bollywood movies.

He was born in Amritsar in 1945, has married thrice during his lifetime but sadly died of a massive heart attack in Mumbai in 1990 at the young age of 45.

In the 1965 All India Talent Contest held by United Producers and Filmfare - more than 10,000 contestants participated out of which he became the male runner-up and the contest was won by another brilliant actor Rajesh Khanna.

Well, if you want to know more about the male runner-up and how well he acts :-) you've got to see this playlist which takes you to his musical world of movies.
