MUMBAI- The scariest villain and most endearing father of Bollywood – late actor Amrish Puri, would have turned 85 on Friday.
One of the best actors of his times, Amrish worked in all kinds of films and his roles are still remembered as a wonderful actor. Let’s go through some of his most popular characters:
1#Mogambo (Mr India): We shall begin with the obvious one: You don’t really have to be a 90’s kid to know about Mogambo. If you speak Hindi or watch Hindi films, you have certainly used the legendary ‘Mogambo Khush Hua’ dialogue at least once in your life.

2#Bauji (Dil Wale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge): The iconic ‘Ja Simran jee le apni zindagi’ builds up after three-hours of torture in the name of paternal love – forced marriage, diktats over what to ear and even censorship of dreams. Bauji was the perfect portrayal of traditional desi dad back in the era.
3#Chief Minister Balraj Chauhan (Nayak): Anil Kapoor’s onscreen persona was often equated with Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, especially in his early days of political life. However, it was Amrish’s deft portrayal of the corrupt chief minister that brought forward the real muck that lies in our political system.
