It was at Mehboob Studios where legendary actor Dev Anand spent most of his professional life. So, it was indeed fitting that a memorial service for the actor be held there. On Friday evening at Stage 3 of the studio, a large portrait of the actor stood tall. His family members, son Suneil Anand and nephew Shekhar Kapur, continuously stood at the gate greeting guests who had come to pay their last respects. Besides the film fraternity, the laymen too gathered in large numbers.
Anand passed away on December 3 in London after he suffered a cardiac arrest. With the cremation happening there, the Bollywood fraternity couldn’t quite make it. But they made up for it by attending the memorial service at Mehboob Studios. First to arrive were three of his protegees — Tina Ambani, Tabu and Jackie Shroff. Tina, who was launched by Anand in Des Pardes broke down as she walked out after attending the memorial service. Anand’s favourite and most successful protege Zeenat Aman too came in. She too was misty-eyed as she walked out.
