Pehchan 1970 Filmfare Award winning Bollywood romance film पहचान 1970 फिल्मफेयर पुरस्कार विजेता बॉलीवुड रोमांस फिल्म

Remembering Ramesh Deo (30 January 1926 – 2 February 2023) on his birth anniversary Some forgotten memories!

Veteran Bollywood and Marathi cinema actor, director and producer, Ramesh Deo, whom film buffs will remember for his roles in hits such as Anand and Mere Apne.

The handsome actor, born in Amravati, Maharashtra, on January 30, 1926, celebrated his 93rd birthday three days ago and a number of his well-wishers went on Twitter to celebrate the fact.

The character actor is best remembered by Hindi film fans for his role of a doctor in Anand (1971), the Hrishikesh Mukherjee film starring Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan, and in Gulzar's Mere Apne (1971), where Meena Kumari, Vinod Khanna and Shatrughan Sinha played the lead characters.

Over five decades, Deo essayed a number of roles in a wide range of Hindi films, right up to 'Jolly LLB' (the black comedy with Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani) in 2013 and Sunny Deol's Ghayal Once Again in 2016.

Deo's main love, however, remained Marathi cinema. His debut film, where he had a cameo, was Patlachi Por in 1951. His actual innings in a lead role started with Andhala Magto Ek Dola in 1956.

Deo acted in more than 250 films, produced over a dozen of them and directed several others. He had several awards to his credit, including the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 11th Pune International Film Festival in 2013.
