Story127
Few actors in Hindi cinema have had Rishi Kapoor's sort of a career arc: from the gawky adolescent pining for his schoolteacher ( Mera Naam Joker, 1970) to the naughty 90-year-old ( Kapoor & Sons, 2016), Rishi Kapoor has regaled audiences for close to 50 years. He won a National Award for his debut, became an overnight sensation with his first film as a leading man ( Bobby, 1973), and carved a niche for himself with a string of romantic musical blockbusters.

Characteristically candid, Rishi Kapoor brings Punjabi brio to the writing of Khullam Khulla. This is as up close and personal a biography as any fan could have hoped for.

Dev Anand’s storytelling voice is brimming with enthusiasm — he doesn’t just narrate events; he lives them again for you. His adventures, from struggling actor to legendary star, from the sets of Guide to his globe-trotting escapades, all carry a certain sparkle — that same unrelenting drive that made him timeless.
What struck me most was his zest for life. Even in moments of loss or controversy, he never loses that forward momentum. His passion, discipline, and boundless curiosity are nothing short of inspirational. Listening to him makes you want to chase your dreams with the same relentless energy, no matter the odds.
Dev Anand (1923–2011) wasn’t just an actor — he was an institution. A blend of charm, intellect .
Beyond acting, he was a writer, director, producer, and eternal optimist who lived by his own rules. He embodied the idea that youth is not an age, but an attitude — and that life, no matter how complex, is meant to be romanced.
---
Final Thought:
If you’re looking for an autobiography that motivates without lecturing and inspires without sentimentality, Romancing with Life is pure gold. Listening to Dev Anand is like sipping a strong espresso of optimism — smooth, bold, and impossible to forget.
