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.
