Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday remembered the iconic actor Dev Anand on the occasion of his 100th birth anniversary.
Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), Modi dropped a couple of pictures with the late veteran star and wrote, “Dev Anand Ji is remembered as an evergreen icon. His flair for storytelling and passion for cinema were unmatched. His films not only entertained but also reflected the changing society and aspirations of India. His timeless performances continue to influence generations. Remembering him on his 100th birth anniversary.”
Dev Anand was born on September 26, 1923, and is considered one of the most successful actors in Bollywood.
In a career spanning almost six decades, the actor created a mark with his roles in films like Guide, Taxi Driver, Jewel Thief, and CID.
He broke new grounds, playing a smuggler in Jaal, absconding gang member in Dushman, black marketeer in Kalabazaar, and a murderer in Bombay Ka Babu.
Besides being an actor, he was also a writer, director, and producer known for his work in Hindi cinema.
The late actor who received India's third-highest civilian award, Padma Bhushan took his last breath in his room at The Washington Mayfair Hotel in London at the age of 88 on December 3, 2011 (4 December 2011 I.S.T.).
