When all his movies were huge hits in the 1950s and 1960s, every lady in the Hindi film industry wanted to be his heroine!
As the Indian Gregory Peck, he was well-known in those days. Then, his beau, Suraiya pointed out how much he resembled the Hollywood celebrity.
If women wanted him, men wanted to be like him.
His identifiable walking style—a slight, almost endearing limp, bent knees, and a head tilted to one side with a rhythmic nod—a signature style of Dev Anand, his charm, mannerisms, and attire—hats, scarves, and a propensity for buttoning his shirt up to his neck—embodied the romanticism of the middle class and helped him forge his distinct identity between Dilip Kumar, the intense tragedy king, and Raj Kapoor, the tram!
Dev Anand was the first muffler man and was inseparable from his signature accessory, whether the cameras were rolling or not. This is another unique piece of clothing he promoted.
Dev Anand's sense of style extended beyond clothing. It was, in a way, a declaration of attitude intended to go against the law.
He was the first fashion experimenter in Bollywood and dared men to value their uniqueness!
