Dev Anand, who left for heavenly abode yesterday (3th december 2011) in London, was a legend among legends in the annals of Indian movie industry. He started his career in 1940s as an actor and quickly went on to become one of the big three heroes of 1950s, other two being Raj Kapoor and Dilip Kumar. Dev Anand typically played suave, urban, dashing and stylish characters in his movies. He got his first break in Prabhat theatre’s “Hum Ek Hain” (1946).
