Sunil Anand, son of Bollywood’s evergreen actor Dev Anand, died of a heart attack in London on 26 July. He was 70 years old. Sunil used to stay away from limelight and glamour, but it is not that he did not try his luck in the glamor world. Like his father Dev Anand, he also wanted to make his career in films, but fate had something else in store. Dev Anand also had a dream that his son would become a big superstar, but Sunil’s acting career ended even before it started. After this, he gradually moved away from the silver screen and the media.

When was Sunil Anand born?

Superstar Dev Anand married actress Kalpana Karthik in 1954. Two years later, i.e. in 1956, his son Sunil Anand was born. Being born in a film family, everyone expected that Sunil would also follow his father’s footsteps and become an actor. Dev Anand also wanted his son to make his own identity in Hindi cinema, but despite all efforts, Sunil could not get success in films.

Sunil Anand’s studies and film debut

After completing his primary studies, Sunil Anand went to America to pursue a degree in Business Administration, where he studied from Washington University. After this he turned to Bollywood. Sunil started his acting career with the film ‘Anand Aur Anand’ in 1984.

Dev Anand had directed and produced his son’s debut film.

Dev Anand himself directed and produced ‘Anand Aur Anand’ to launch his son. He spent money on this film like water, but unfortunately this film failed at the box office.

Many film critics believe that Sunil Anand had acting skills, but he did not get strong stories or memorable characters that could establish a new actor. Meanwhile, the 1980s and 1990s saw the rise of Bollywood stars like Anil Kapoor, Sunny Deol, Jackie Shroff, Govinda, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan. Amidst this tremendous competition, Sunil Anand could not create his own identity.

Sunil Anand had done these 4 films

Even after the first film was a flop, he worked in three more films, but none of them could do wonders. After four consecutive flops, Sunil realized that acting was not his cup of tea and he stayed away from acting forever. He worked in films like ‘Anand Aur Anand’ (1984), ‘Car Thief’ (1986), ‘Maine Tere Liye’ (1988) and ‘Master’ (2001).
