In Saagar, Chandni, Deewana, Bol Radha Bol, and Damini, he'd not only displayed remarkable versatility, but had also managed to retain his leading man status as newer generations of heroes arrived. Chintu, as he was affectionately called, was a fine actor, and a consummate movie star who enjoyed living a full life.
