6th October is the birthdate a very handsome talented actor who could have fallen in the category of “SUPERSTAR” too, if he had not just given it all up to follow his spiritual Guru just as his career was on the upswing. He was an actor who could dance without making the audience feel that he was uncomfortable, I have seen him match steps with HEMA MALINI & Kalpana Iyer in the 1980s. He was introduced into Hindi films in Sunil Dutt’s ‘Man Ka Meet’ in a supporting role in 1968. He played supporting characters to Rajesh Khanna, Shammi Kapoor, Jeetendra, Dharmendra, Manoj Kumar etc. in his initial films. He didn’t flinch from playing characters that had grey or negative traits- he was good in action sequences too.

His first leading role was in Gulzar’s directorial debut ‘Mere Apne’. He experienced stardom & success in the late 1970s and was seen playing solo protagonist in films like ‘Inkaar’, ‘Shaque’ (to name just two, there are many). He held his own in multi-starrers too; that is also a very long list. I would like to mention that he was repeated by al the filmmakers of that time- Feroz Khan, Sunil Dutt, Prakash Mehra, Manmohan Desai, Raj Khosla etc.

We are thinking of Vinod Khanna on what would have been his 80th birthday.

Slowly and steadily, we reach the landmark of yet another blog century, namely the blog century number 206. Or in other words, blog post number 20600.The previous century post had appeared on 13 August 2026 and it was published by Sudhir Jee. Not just the century post, bulk of posts leading up to that century post were published by him whereas I was absent from action for more than a month.

Today is 4 October 2026. So this century is appearing 52 days after the previous century. The reason for this slow pace is known to the regulars. What is important and heartening to note is that the blog continued to be active despite my absence thanks to the active participation of the other contributors. Sudhir Jee published bulk of posts sent by the contributors during this period. The contributors themselves went out of their way in ensuring that the blog continued to function normally, even if the rate of posts came down.
