On September 26, 1923, a legendary Bollywood icon was born, destined to leave an indelible mark on Indian cinema. As we commemorate Dev Anand’s 100th birth anniversary, we not only celebrate his iconic career but also delve into the colorful love life that often made headlines.
A Charismatic Personality
Dev Anand was more than just an actor; he was a charismatic persona who drew admiration from fans worldwide. His good looks, style, and charming personality made him the heartthrob of millions. Alongside his illustrious career, his personal life was equally intriguing, marked by passionate romances.
Suraiya: The First Love
One of Dev Anand’s earliest and most publicized love affairs was with Suraiya, a popular actress and singer of her time. Their on-screen chemistry was undeniable, and it spilled over into their real lives. However, their love story faced obstacles, primarily due to religious differences. Despite the challenges, Dev Anand and Suraiya’s love remained a poignant chapter in his life.
Kalpana Kartik: A Lifetime of Love
Dev Anand’s love life took a new turn when he met Kalpana Kartik on the sets of the film “Taxi Driver.” Their on-screen partnership evolved into a real-life love story that stood the test of time. The couple tied the knot in 1954 and shared a harmonious married life that lasted until Dev Anand’s passing in 2011. Kalpana Kartik’s unwavering support and companionship were pivotal in Dev Anand’s life.
Zeenat Aman: A Controversial Romance
During the 1970s, Dev Anand’s name was linked to another leading lady, Zeenat Aman. Their sizzling chemistry in films like “Hare Rama Hare Krishna” sparked rumors of a romance off-screen as well. While neither confirmed nor denied the rumors, their association remained one of the most talked-about aspects of Dev Anand’s personal life.
Dev Anand’s Legacy
Dev Anand’s love life, like his films, was marked by passion, romance, and drama. His ability to charm not only on-screen but also in his personal life endeared him to fans of all generations. As we celebrate the 100th birth anniversary of this cinematic legend, we remember not just his iconic films but also the colorful love stories that defined his journey. Dev Anand will forever remain a symbol of timeless romance and charisma in Indian cinema.
