Bollywood has lost a true style icon in Dev Anand. At the age of 88, Dev died of a heart attack in London on Saturday night.
Dev Anand is of course known for being the most stylist man in Bollywood and for starring in iconic movies like Jewel Thief and Guide. He was a true multitasker as he starred, directed and produced many films over the years and will definitely be missed by many.
The hard working actor was working up until the last minute as his nephew and renowned film director Shekhar Kapur said in a posting on Twitter. “He was working one minute. Sat down and smiled. And was gone the next. So much to learn.”

Shahrukh Khan tweeted, “Dev sahib’s sad demise makes me feel that the film industry is incomplete & has lost its magical energy. May Allah bless his soul.”
Abhishek Bachchan tweeted, “Shocked to read of the passing of Dev Saab. Such a great man and actor. A symbol of positivity.”
Sonam Kapoor tweeted, “Abhi na jao chod kar, yeh dil abhi bhara nahin #ripdevanand, the best looking man in bollywood & the hero of my most fav film guide”
And finally from us at DH!, we will miss Dev Anand terribly but his name will continue to live on in films and our hearts. RIP Mr. Anand.

Bollywood is not a big bad world: Vidya Balan
Contrary of what people perceive of Bollywood, Vidya Balan says she 
doesn’t feel the industry is a “big bad world”. “I had heard film industry is a big bad world, but I lead my world my way and on my own terms. I was very clear from the beginning
that I was only and only interested in work and nothing more than that,” said Vidya in the capital Saturday, attending the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit.
“I became an actor to live life of many actors. I have dabbled in all the mediums. I have done ad-films, I have done television and I have done films, because that is what I wanted to do – be an actor. I grew up as a film fan. I had a burning desire to show my skills to the world,” she added.
The 32-year-old also feels that newcomers need to keep their foot down and be clear with their own thinking process.
“I don’t think it’s a bad world. Now that I have been here, I can say this with my experience. One does get to hear about other peoples’ experience, stories of exploitation, casting couch. But trust me, all is in your own hands. It all depends on how you present yourself and approach,” she said.
Filmmaker-actor Farhan Akhtar, who too was one of the speakers at the conference, shared the same sentiments.
“I completely agree with Vidya, every industry has an underbelly. It is important for you to make your own choice and stand for it,” said Farhan.
