Dev Anand, often referred to as the 'evergreen hero' of Bollywood, captivated audiences with his charisma and on-screen charm. Born in 1923 in Gurdaspur, Punjab, he made a significant mark in the film industry, starring in over 100 films including classics like 'Guide' and 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna'. Following his appearance in the 1958 film 'Kala Pani', reports emerged that female fans would go to extreme lengths, including jumping off buildings, when he wore a black coat in public. Although there was no official legal notice, police allegedly advised him to avoid wearing black to prevent potential stampedes. In his autobiography 'Romancing with Life', he humorously referred to this advice as a myth but acknowledged the need for caution. Dev Anand's influence extended beyond acting; he continued to direct films and remained a trendsetter in the industry for over 60 years, inspiring generations of actors with his unique style and romantic presence.
