Dev Anand Birth Anniversary: From Gata Rahe Mera Dil To Mana Janab Ne Pukara Nahi, Memorable Songs of the Legend


Dev Anand belonged to a legendary league of actors who changed Indian cinema with their acting prowess. Born as Dharam Dev Anand on September 26, 1923, in Punjab’s Gurdaspur, the iconic star started off his career with a job as a Military censor officer in Mumbai (then Bombay) in the early 40s. He joined Indian People’s Theatre Association as a member along with his brother and filmmaker Chatan Anand.

Inspired by performances of actor Ashok Kumar in films like Achhut Kanya and Kismet, Dev Anand decided to pursue a career as a performer.

Soon, Dev Anand got his first break as an actor in the 1946 film Hum Ek Hain. In his career spanning over six decades, Dev Anand has featured in some of the most iconic Bollywood films.

His body of work features classics like C.I.D., Guide, Paying Guest and Jewel Thief. As we remember the legendary actor on his birth anniversary today, here’s a list of some of the iconic songs he has featured in.
