Mr India Turns 38: Amrish Puri's Grandson Vardhaan Celebrates Iconic Villain Mogambo
Last Updated: Amrish Puri's grandson, actor Vardhaan Puri, celebrates 38 years of Mr India on May 25. He highlighted his grandfather's role as the iconic villain, Mogambo. Actor Vardhaan Puri, who is the grandson of Hindi cinema legend Amrish Puri, is celebrating 38 years of the science fiction film 'Mr India' in which his grandfather essayed the iconic role of Mogambo. Vardhaan spoke about how the portrayal of the antagonist, who had nefarious intentions for society, continues to resonate globally with the audience of all age groups. The actor spoke with IANS, as he shared a piece of his heart celebrating Hindi cinema's favourite villain and character actor, Amrish Puri. Vardhaan told IANS, 'Mogambo is one of the most iconic characters globally and his relevance only keeps growing with time. The impact the dialogue 'Mogambo, Khush Hua' has had around the world of cinema bears testament to how my grandfather Amrish Puri, director Shekhar Kapur and writer Javed Akhtar curated art in its truest form". He further mentioned, 'From the dialogue delivery, the large bulging eyes, and deep baritone to the golden and black costume, wig, rings and baton in hand – his character design and interpretation of Mogambo has been most loved by cinegoers alike worldover, but especially children. They are his biggest fans". 'Mr. India' was directed by legendary filmmaker Shekhar Kapur off a script by veteran screenwriting duo Salim-Javed. It was their last film together before they parted ways. The film told the story of Arun, a street violinist and philanthropist who rents an old house to take care of orphans, and how he becomes invisible to counter Mogambo, a criminal whose goal is to conquer India. Mogambo operates from his hidden island, and monitors all the evil-doings perpetrated by his henchmen. Catchphrases like 'Mogambo khush hua" and 'Hail Mogambo!" used by his subordinates, show his complete authority over his minions. Vardhaan added, 'A lot of the credit for Mogambo's magic goes to Shekhar Kapur sir for advising him to treat the role as though he was performing Shakespeare for 8 year old children, because once a child starts loving a villain, you know you've created something immortal and iconic". Vardhaan made his debut with 'Yeh Saali Aashiqui' and was last seen in the digital film 'Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story' directed by Kunal Kohli.

Vardhaan Puri dons his mother's diamonds: Jewelry shouldn't be reserved just for women
Actor Vardhaan Puri turned heads at the Times Food and Nightlife Awards 2025 , not just for his sleek suit but for the glimmering diamond necklace he wore—an heirloom piece borrowed from his mother's treasured collection. In a sea of conventional red carpet looks, Vardhaan's ensemble stood out as a celebration of heritage, individuality, and fearless fashion. Speaking about his bold choice, the actor shared, 'I firmly believe that jewelry shouldn't be reserved just for women. Men should also celebrate jewellery, especially diamonds. Personally, I love borrowing diamonds from my mother's collection, pairing them with a suit, and owning the look.' His confident presence and ease in diamond accessories reflected a deeper belief in challenging gender norms through style. 'For me, jewelry is a powerful form of self-expression,' the actor last seen in Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story added. 'It allows me to tap into my individuality without worrying about societal norms. It's also a way to connect with the strong women in my family, feeling their presence and love with each piece I wear. Let's break free from conventions and have fun with fashion—unapologetically and unconditionally.' Vardhaan's striking appearance is part of a larger shift in men's fashion, where diamond jewelry is no longer considered off-limits. From red carpets to global fashion runways, more male celebrities are embracing luxury accessories—be it brooches, earrings, or neckpieces—as tools of creative expression. By wearing diamonds with pride, the Yeh Saali Aashiqui actor joins a growing tribe of men who are not just rewriting style rules but are also redefining masculinity in the most glamorous way.
