Meet the Indian actor who defied convention by transitioning to a career in spiritual roles later in life, predominantly in Hindi and Bengali films. His journey began with a screen debut in the 1947 film Nauk Dubi, followed by a long-standing association with prominent Indian directors.
However, the 1970s marked a significant turning point in his life, as he became deeply influenced by the teachings of Dadaji, a renowned Indian activist and philosopher. This spiritual awakening led him to write a book, Destiny with Dadaji, which was published in 1989.
In his later years, he continued to play a wide range of roles, but with a specific focus on deities in religious and mystical films. He particularly excelled in portraying Lord Vishnu in numerous films, showcasing his versatility as an actor.
Sadly, his life came to an end in 1993, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and influence Indian cinema to this day.
