Arjun Hingorani

Film maker Arjun Hingorani, whose keen eye for talent helped him discover artistes like Sadhana and Dharmendra, passed away peacefully in Vrindavan Saturday. He was 92.

Filmmaker Arjun Hingorani left for the heavenly abode and veteran actor Dharmendra took to his social media accounts to announce the same.

Bollywood mourns the passing of Dharmendra, the legendary 'He-Man', at 89. His career spanned over 65 years with more than 300 films. A heartwarming anecdote from his appearance on '10 Ka Dum' revealed his humble beginnings and the joy of his first salary. Dharmendra's journey from struggling actor to cinematic icon is an inspiration.

Dharmendra is undeniably one of the most talented and most-respected actors we have in Bollywood. The veteran star has not only successfully proved his mettle in the industry but has successfully established himself as one of the superstars.

It's the dreaded K-word again. First it struck television. Every soap began with Kyonki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki, Koshish Ek Asha, Kundali Kasauti Zindagi Kay...Right up to that stuttering marvel Kkusum, which you’ll agree takes the kake (it’s katching).

The actor, who acted in more than 300 films over six and half decades, thrived throughout his career and seemed unfazed by fluctuating trends or fickle public taste.

"I've been loved by the people- though I've never become No. I. The trouble is that I've never treated acting as a profession, I've seen it rather as a dream-come-true. To be a superstar you have to be superambitious."
