INFORMATION - PEOPLE
Ashok Kumar was born in 1911 and died in 2001. He was called the 'grandfather of Indian cinema', made more than 300 movies and starred with Kabir in several movies, among them SAZAA (1972), HARFAN MAULA (1976).
Ashok Kumar was one of the very first actors to develop a more natural style of acting, moving away from the stilted and mannerist approach that was more common at the time.
• Starring in the very successful Kismat in 1943, Ashok Kumar became the first-ever actor to play a negative part in an Indian movie.
Ashok Kumar's brother died on October 13, 1987 - on Ashok's birthday. Ashok Kumar never celebrated his birthday again.
Pran was born in 1920 in Delhi and thus was about 52 when Rakhi Aur Hathkadi was made.
Pran made movies as early as 1940 and has a career spanning more than 60 years in the Indian film business.
• Well-known and much-loved for his many screen appearances as baddie, Pran received from the film industry magazine Stardust in 2000 the award of the legendary 'villain of the Millennium'.
Asha Parekh was born on October 2, 1942 in Bangalore, India.
• Celebrated director Bimal Roy casted Asha Parekh for Baap Beti (1954) when she was only 10 years old.
• Teesri Manzil (1966) was one of the biggest screen hits by Asha Parekh, who trained as a ballet dancer. She plays alongside her favourite movie hero Shammi Kapoor.
Asha Parekh's many hit movies in the sixties and seventies earned her the accolade 'Jubilee Girl'.
Asha Parekh says she is a lousy cook and hates salads "because they remind me of diets" - but a long parade of her screen heroes, including Shammi Kapoor, Shashi Kapoor, and Rajesh Khanna have fond memories of her Goan fish curry and her fried fish dishes, which she cooked at home and brought to the set.
Sudhir appeared also in many other films starring Kabir, among them MERA SHIKAAR (1988), MANZILEIN AUR BHI HAIN (1974), ISHQ ISHQ ISHQ (1974).
