Evergreen romantic star Dev Anand, who has given classic films like Guide and Hare Rama Hare Krishna and epitomised the suave, urban gentleman on screen, died in London.Mohan Churiwala, The Legendary actor's manager said "Dev Anand was 88yrs old and succumbed to cardiac arrest in a London hotel where he was staying with his son, Sunil, a one-time actor. Sunil saw Dev Anand not responding and called the doctor. The doctor said that he had a heart attack. He died at 2200hrs in London."
The iconic star is survived by his wife, former actress Kalpana Karthik, Sunil and a daughter.
Dev Anand, who started his career in the black and white era with 1946 film Hum Ek Hai, spent 65 years under the arc lights as an actor and filmmaker. The actor worked tirelessly, coming up with new films after short intervals. He never hung his boots or sat on his laurels. In fact, even before his death, he was planning for another movie.
Dev Anand's Chargesheet that released earlier this year, became his swan song. His amazing zest for life and dynamism may have come to an end but it would undecidedly be a source of inspiration for many.
