Rajesh Khanna was afraid of this Zeenat Aman’s hero, did 110 films but became a star after working in Ramayana, its not Arun Govil, he is now…

An artist who became once in comparison to the legendary actor Rajesh Khanna, he won one and all’s hearts along with his handsome looks. Nevertheless, he never received the honour from the film industry that he indubitably deserved. This artist rose like a shining big name, with a personality and acting prowess so enthralling that even superstars, including Rajesh Khanna, began to feel insecure. The late actor we're talking about became an overnight big name in Bollywood after his debut film ‘Yaadon Ki Baaraat’. With his attractiveness and charming personality, many believed he became destined to be the subsequent famous person. ‘Yaadon Ki Baaraat’, released in 1973 and directed by Nasir Hussain, featured Zeenat Aman and Dharmendra in lead roles. The film is thought about among the many many influential within the history of Indian cinema, and it truly is miles often thought to be Bollywood’s first true commercial film.

After gaining popularity, this actor went on to big name in different other films. We're talking about Vijay Arora. He appeared alongside Jaya Bhaduri and Waheeda Rehman in ‘Phagun’ and shared the screen with Parveen Babi in ’36 Ghante’. Vijay also played the lead role in ‘Jeevan Jyoti’ opposite Bindiya Goswami. Released in 1976, the film became a surprise hit of the year, directed by Murugan Kumaran.

Vijay Arora had shaken the self belief of Kaka, aka Rajesh Khanna, to such an extent that Khanna once declared Vijay as his successor. Rajesh Khanna himself admitted that if anyone may perhaps challenge his stardom, it became Vijay Arora. Despite the proven fact that Vijay Arora’s early films may no longer have been major hits, his striking attractiveness were widely appreciated. Over his career, Vijay worked in around a hundred and ten films and a wonderful deal of TV serials, but it indubitably became his portrayal of Meghanath in Ramanand Sagar’s ‘Ramayana’ that made him a household name.

As the saying goes, no person gets greater than what fate has in store, and something similar took place with Vijay. No matter working with big-name producers and directors, and sharing the screen with renowned actresses like Zeenat Aman, Jaya Bhaduri, Shabana Azmi, Asha Parekh, and Waheeda Rehman, his film career did no longer reach the heights it deserved.

Vijay Arora married ex-model and Omit India, Dilber Debara. Sadly, he passed away on February 2, 2007.
