He sparked careers (mine included), brought together creative heads, and made films that resonated across generations.’

She continued, “It gladdens my heart to see his legacy honoured an entire century since his birth. In recent days, I’ve been overwhelmed with requests for comments about him but there is little to add to what I’ve already said. Though, I posted a three-part series about him just a few weeks ago, I can’t resist the nostalgia of these two frames from our earliest films together. They will be instantly recognisable to my older followers, but I’m not so sure about you younger lot!”

Kajol took to Instagram story and shared a portrait of Dev Saab.

She captioned the post, “Style beyond compare onscreen and off screen. Remembering Dev Sahab on his 100th anniversary.”

He signified something that was endless, a continuity which we all took as a given. The fact that we can watch these films almost 70 years after the first one was released, is because they have been preserved and restored. This only reaffirms the importance of saving our films for future generations to enjoy. Don’t miss the opportunity to watch Dev Anand back on the big screen this weekend. “

Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar dropped a throwback picture with Dev Anand.

Sharing the picture, he wrote, “Happy birthday anniversary to Dev saab, an evergreen icon, who mesmerizes us even today with his charisma and timeless songs. His immeasurable contributions to Indian cinema and lasting legacy inspire generations. We miss you Dev saab..”
