Amrish Puri, Pran, Ajit, Danny to Amjad Khan: What do children of five dreaded villains Bollywood do?
In the glittering world of Bollywood, everyone talks about heroes, but there are many such faces in this film industry who left their mark on the screen by becoming synonymous with fear. Their roar would make the audience shudder, their eyes would spit fire. These were those dreaded villains whose acting magic is still fresh in people's minds. But these villains who scared the audience on the big screen did not get the fame and limelight that the heroes got. Today, we will tell you about the children of five such legendary villains of cinema, and know what they are doing in their lives today. Amrish Puri Amrish Puri was one of the most dreaded villains of Hindi cinema. He scared the audience a lot with his powerful voice and impressive screen presence. His dialogue 'Mogambo khush hua' is still considered iconic. Amrish Puri, who said goodbye to the world in the year 2005, kept his children away from the film world. Amrish Puri's son Rajiv Puri was in the Merchant Navy. His daughter Namrata Puri is a dermatologist. However, Amrish Puri's grandson Vardhan Puri has stepped into acting, following in his grandfather's footsteps. He made his debut in the year 2019 with the film 'Yeh Saali Aashiqui', but Vardhan is still struggling to achieve success like his grandfather. Danny Denzongpa Danny Denzongpa, famous for his heavy voice and fierce look, has played many memorable villain characters like 'Kancha Cheena' of 'Agneepath'. Danny married Sikkim's princess Gaa. They have two children – son Rinzing Denzongpa and daughter Pema Denzongpa. Rinzing Denzongpa made his Bollywood debut in 2021 with the film 'Squad', in this film he was seen doing a lot of action. At the same time, his daughter Pema Denzongpa is a businesswoman away from the film world and is a director in Yuksom Breweries. Pran Actor Pran, famously known as the 'Villain of the Millennium', worked in more than 400 films in his career and was the only villain who charged more than the hero. His eyes and voice were enough to create fear in the minds of the audience. Pran sahab passed away in 2013. His son Sunil Sikand is a film director who directed films like 'Farishta' and 'Laxman Rekha'. His daughter Pinky Sikand is married to Vivek Bhalla, an astrologer and belonging to a Bollywood family. Pran's other son Arvind Sikand stays away from the limelight. Amjad Khan Amjad Khan, who became immortal in the history of Hindi cinema as 'Gabbar Singh' of 'Sholay', scared the audience a lot with his powerful acting. He died in the year 1992. Amjad Khan's wife's name is Shaila Khan and he has three children – Shadab Khan, Seema Khan and Ahlam Khan. His elder son Shadab Khan made his acting debut with the film 'Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat' with Rani Mukherjee, but his film career was not successful. Later he tried his hand at writing and direction. Shadab has also written his father's biography and has also appeared in web series like 'Scam 1992'. Younger son Seemab Khan also stays away from the camera and has been associated with cricket. His daughter Ahlam Khan is a theatre artist and is active on stage. She is married to well-known actor Zafar Karachiwala. Ajit Khan 'The whole city knows me as Lion' – with this dialogue Ajit Khan created a unique identity for himself in Hindi cinema. His unique style of speaking dialogues is remembered even today. Ajit Khan's son Shahzad Khan has also stepped into acting like his father. Shahzad Khan has played villain and supporting roles in many films and TV serials. However, he has not got the fame and success like his father. Along with acting, he also does his own business.

Glasgow BMW driver caught with cocaine and weed in his socks
Jaffet Pran, 23, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court earlier this week after he pleaded guilty to six charges, including driving without insurance, consent from the owner and having drugs in his possession. First, he was busted by police on January 29, last year, when he took a grey BMW while the owner - whom he knew - was sleeping. Cops spotted him in the city's Calton and checks revealed that the vehicle was uninsured. Pran, of Shawlands, left the car and walked towards Glasgow Green. When officers spoke to him, he admitted: "He doesn't know I took the car'. The 23-year-old appeared nervous, so he was detained and searched. Two small packets of white powder were found in his jacket pocket and five bags of cannabis in his left sock. Later, this was revealed to be 14.6g of cocaine worth £350-800 and 17.5g of cannabis, with a value of £100-200. Then, Pran was busted again in Dennistoun on September 12, 2024. Officers spoke to him and noted that the car was not insured, so he was arrested and taken to Cathcart police station. His blood tested positive for THC, the main psychoactive compound in cannabis.

Pran was sentenced to one year of supervision with a conduct requirement to engage with addiction services. He also has to complete 199 hours of unpaid work within 12 months. Finally, he was disqualified from driving for one year.

There is a lot of talk about the stories of films, but the stories of some stars even outweigh the movies. There is one such story; the more you read and understand it, the less it becomes. It becomes difficult to believe it. Although even today, people are offended by women being outspoken. But there was one actress who silenced everyone in that era. Seeing her outspokenness, people started calling her a bad girl. This story is of a beautiful actress from a royal family with many tainted faces. Let us introduce you to a very special actress today. Who was in the news a lot in real life too? This is none other than Kuldeep Kaur, who is also known as the first female villain of history. She was born in Attari, British India, in a Jaat family of landlords. The actress has seen a lot of riches, but the pain was no less. When she was two years old, her father passed away and then she was brought up in a joint family. This was the reason that at 14, her uncle married her, and the life of little Kuldeep Kaur changed. The marriage also took place in a big family and she gave birth to a son. Pran was very popular due to his superhit films and characters and was always surrounded by thousands of people. But once Kuldeep got a chance, he met Pran. Their first meeting was quite attractive. After hours of conversation, the series of meetings continued, and married Pran and Kuldeep Kaur entered a relationship. Became a heroine because of Pran After the India-Pakistan riots, Kuldeep Kaur and Pran's lives took a turn. While two countries were burning in the fire of riots, on the other hand, people were running away to save their lives. At such a time, Kuldeep Kaur also left her husband and family and came to Bombay with Pran. Her acting career also started here. Pran took Kuldeep to the Bombay Talkies production house. Then she was screen tested with Ashok Kumar and some stars. Everyone was surprised that Kuldeep Kaur had neither fear of cameras nor any hesitation. As soon as she came to the set for the screen test after getting her makeup done, the makers were surprised to see her confidence and enthusiasm. Everything went well, but Kuldeep was given the role of a villain and not a heroine. Pakistani spy scandal The biggest controversy in Kuldeep Kaur's life was that she was accused of being a Pakistani spy. She was born, and her family was in Lahore, so she used to go to Pakistan often. Seeing her visits, some people accused her of staying in India and passing on India's secret information to Pakistan. However, all these were mere allegations, and it could never be proved that they were true.
