New Delhi. The story of an artist whose story is very painful. An artist who was once compared to veteran actor Rajesh Khanna. But unfortunately he died in pain. He won everyone’s heart due to his handsome looks but he did not get the respect from the world that he truly deserved. This artist rose like a shining star in the sky of Hindi cinema. Personality and acting were such that many superstars started feeling insecure. Superstars like Rajesh Khanna were so scared of this star’s work that they felt their kingdom was in danger. Kaka even said that if any Punjabi Munda will rule Bollywood after me, it will be this actor.
He acted in many films like ‘Phagun’, ‘Insaaf’, ’36 Ghanta’, ‘Kadambari’, ‘Natak’, ‘Roti’, ‘Sargam’, ‘Bade Dilwala’, ‘Jeena Tere Naam’ and ‘Indian Babu’. This actor who left a mark was none other than Vijay Arora. Who worked with famous veteran actresses. Along with about 110 films, he worked in many TV serials, but he became a household name by becoming ‘Meghnath’ of Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayana.
This actor had worsened uncle’s condition.
There was a time when Vijay Arora had worsened the condition of Rajesh Khanna. Kaka was so scared that he named Vijay as his successor. Rajesh Khanna himself had admitted that if anyone could challenge his stardom, it would be Vijay Arora.
Kaka had informed Vijay about his successor.
Even though Vijay Arora’s early films did not do well, his good looks were praised a lot. At one time, he became so famous that even Rajesh Khanna started being afraid of him. Kaka, who was a superstar at that time, started feeling that Vijay Arora might take his place. This was the reason why Kaka had declared Vijay as his successor and said that if any Punjabi Munda will rule Bollywood after me, it will be this actor.
Vijay Arora has done more than 100 films.
Worked with famous actresses
It is said that no one gets more than luck. Something similar happened with Vijay also. Even after working with many big producer-directors and sharing the screen with many famous actresses Zeenat Aman, Jaya Bhaduri, Shabana Azmi, Asha Paresh, Waheeda Rehman, his film career could not reach that milestone.
Got name from the role of ‘Meghnad’ not from 110 films
Vijay was offered the role of ‘Meghnad’ in his TV show Ramayana. The position which was not achieved after doing 110 films, was achieved with the role of ‘Meghnad’. Even today he is used only for the role of ‘Meghnad’.
Anonymous with immense regret and anger
No abbot in need stood with this person who followed the path of truth and honesty in life. This actor went into oblivion carrying the label of a failed actor with immense regret, anger and anger. Vijay Arora was an actor whose acting had forced elders to think. But he became a victim of the dirty politics of Bollywood and reached such a situation that he left this world with grief and anger. He died a very painful death at the age of 62 and he said goodbye to this world.
