Deven Verma was not acting but living the role. Once I just met him in Famous Studio (Mahalaxmi). He was in a gloomy mood. A fine actor. My condolance. Dhiru Mistry
I remember meeting Deven Verma in the Deccan Queen while returning from Mumbai. He was quiet in the beginning but then later on he told me a few facts of life & shared hie jovial experiences with me. He was a Good Man. May his soul rest in peace with the Lord.
with their enormous screen presence and the fine natural acting made them part of our life we use to be so relieved when we use to see them on screen with twinkle in our eyes, they were all so magnificient--RIP!
Gifted and True Comedians of our ERA like Bhagwan Dada , Mukri , Agha , Mehmood , Dhumal , Kishor Da , Deven Ji etc. really took the Fil Industry Comedy to a different height without getting vulgur or cheap any time or any stage. This Comedy is now completely missed forever. Long Live our OLD CLASSIC Comedians !!!
In their capability n heyday, they had made Hindi Filmdom into a Stolid Industry. All that is left of today is a decayed caracass of that once glorified body.
