This Popular Filmmaker Called His Elder Brother ‘Papa' — And Later Married His Own Niece!
Vijay Anand, brother of Bollywood superstar Dev Anand, affectionately referred to him as 'Papa'. A versatile filmmaker, Vijay Anand made his mark across various genres, romantic, comedy, and thriller, and was renowned for creating films that were ahead of their time. He collaborated with director-producer Chetan Anand and actor-brother Dev Anand under the banner of Navketan Films, and was widely regarded as a magician of cinema. Many notable Bollywood directors and filmmakers recognised his brilliance, often calling him the 'Encyclopaedia of Filmmaking'. Vijay Anand, also known fondly as 'Goldie', began writing scripts at the age of 16 and directed his first film at just 21. Veteran actress Waheeda Rehman once remarked in an interview, 'Only Goldie could handle Dev Anand. Whenever Dev refused to do a scene, Goldie would say 'Papa, please listen to me', and explain the scene like a parent to a child.' Born on January 22, 1934 in Gurdaspur, Punjab, Vijay Anand started writing plays during his college years. He went on to deliver several blockbuster films, including Guide, Jewel Thief, Teesri Manzil, Johnny Mera Naam, and Kora Kagaz. In the 1990s, he also played a detective in the television series Tahqiqat. Although he had high hopes for his 1971 film Tere Mere Sapne, it did not perform well. This was followed by a string of box office disappointments such as the 1973 film Blackmail and Chhupa Rustam, and Bullet. These setbacks deeply affected him, eventually leading to depression. Like Vinod Khanna and Mahesh Bhatt, he was later drawn to the teachings of Osho. In a scandolous turn in 1978, Vijay Anand defied Hindu customs and married his niece, Sushma Kohli, the daughter of his elder sister. In a 2018 interview, Sushma Kohli confirmed, 'Vijay Anand, the romantic filmmaker, was incredibly shy in real life. He never got angry and married me during the shoot of Ram Balram. I used to tease him on purpose.' Prior to this, Vijay Anand had been married to Loveleen Thadani, whom he met while working on the bold romantic film Jaan Haazir Hai.
