Legendary actress Saira Banu went down memory lane as she remembered her old friend and colleague, the legendary actor Vinod Khanna.
Penning a lengthy and emotional tribute to the 바카라Hera Pheri바카라 alum, she remembered an incident from the set of 바카라Aarop바카라 where she detailed his gentlemanly personality and humble nature, admitting that to this day she deeply misses him.
Taking to her Instagram, she shared a poster of the 1973 film alongside a clip of one of the film바카라s songs and an old clip where he could be seen meeting Dilip Kumar.
She captioned the post: 바카라Vinod loved Sahib incredibly. He was a very thoughtful man. Once, he and I were shooting at Natraj Studios for Guru Dutt's film 바카라AAROP바카라 directed by Atmaramji. On the very same day, Sahib was headed to the airport and I had requested him to stop by the Studio before his flight to Delhi.
바카라As Sahib arrived, Vinod, Johnny Walker Bhai, and I were rehearsing a scene. While Sahib walked in, Vinod disappeared somewhere. Soon after, Atmaramji sent assistants to look for him so that we could go ahead with the shot. Vinod took pretty long to come onto the set and Sahib had already left. As soon as Vinod appeared I asked him 바카라Where were you for so long?바카라바카라.
Detailing his response, she wrote : Vinod laughed and said 바카라Oh! Boy! Do you think I can act and perform while Dilipji, 바카라The Master Of Acting바카라 is watching? I would be shaking with nervousness! So I absconded!바카라바카라
Narrating his life further, she added: 바카라Vinod, at the peak of his career, had become a disciple of Osho and from 1975 onwards, he had taken a break from films to follow his Guru. At that time, I told him many times, 바카라You are one of the brightest stars of today and everyone knows you will scale tremendous heights in your career. You are too promising. Please don바카라t go. Why are you intending to take this hiatus?바카라 The entire industry was crestfallen at this move.바카라
Describing his chivalry and gentlemanly nature, she wrote: 바카라Vinod always ensured that we ladies on the sets had comfort levels while going home from the studio. One day, I sent my car back home for some important work, and unexpectedly director Atmaramji finished shooting much earlier than expected.
바카라He had a perky tiny Volkswagen and saw that my car had not arrived, he then looked at all the paraphernalia of needy things I carried with me and immediately offered his car to drive me home safely. I said, 'Mera Itna Saaman Kahan Aayega, Tumahari Beautiful Choti Si Gaadi Main'. So he said I will wait until your car arrives. Such a chivalrous man he was!
바카라I remember it was a joy to see him and his wife Geetanjali while we shot outdoors at Lonavala, all of us lived together and had fun times. Later on, when he married Kavita, his second wife, they always visited us on occasions, particularly on our 바카라Silver Wedding Anniversary바카라 and mingled so wonderfully as one of our own family.바카라
바카라We miss him!바카라
Vinod had earned himself a reputation for being an antagonist in Bollywood due to his roles in films such as 바카라Mera Gaon Mera Desh바카라 and 바카라Achanak바카라. But he was a diverse actor and could portray a bunch of roles in different styles ranging from a romantic to an angry young man, an old veteran, and a fatherly figure as seen in the 바카라Dabangg바카라 films.
The film 바카라Guns of Banars바카라 marked his final appearance after his death in 2017.
