Name : Navin Nischol
Born : 18th march 1946 mumbai,maharashtra,india
died : 19th march 2011 age 65
With passing away of Naveen Nischol in the annals of history after his death today, Hindi cinema has indeed become poor, as he was one of the finest actors, belonging to an era where handsome face was the basic criteria to become an actor.
Right from the time when he made his debut along with Rekha in SAWAN BHADON to a theatre actor in KHOSLA KA GHOSLA, Naveen Nischol was one actor who gave a finesse of performance through his various roles. Being able to survive during the times of the likes of Dharmendra, Rajinder Kumar etc., all and to be able to have an innings of more than 40 years, though a career characterized by highs and lows, was underlining motif of his film career. He was probably an actor who never formed a part of the so-called camps and therefore could not act in large number of films which otherwise he might have, if he had been.
He was fortunate enough to have some of the most hummable songs of Hindi cinema being picturised on him including 'Tum Jo Mil Gaye ho' from HANSTE ZAKHM, 'Raat Kali Ek Khwab mein aayee' from BUDDHA MIL GAYA. Besides, he was one of the earliest stars who formed a part of the ensemble cast, of what came to be known as the multi-star cast film, and during this era he had acted in scores of films, this chapter in his life starting from DHUND, through HINDUSTAN KI KASAM, VICTORIA NO. 203, etc. all.
He had an interesting working relationship with Amitabh Bachchan, it starting with DESH PREMEE, where he was a lead actor along with Big B, but subsequently when he acted with Big B in MAJOR SAAB, his role had been reduced. As a character artist, however, his swan song was KHOSLA KA GHOSLA, the transformation that he brought in the portrayal of a theatre actor into a business tycoon, indeed was one of the major achievements of his acting career.
It also is pertinent to point out that he never looked convincing in a role that portrayed a character who was at the fringe of the society, and this could be one of the reasons why he did not get enough roles to display his prowess.
In his passing away, though, Hindi cinema has lost one of its most debonair actors who graced the silver screen. May his soul rest in peace.
Navin Nischol is a popular Indian actor. He made his debut with the Hindi film Sawan Bhadon in 1970. The film was a superhit and Nischol was constantly in demand for several years. He was also the first gold medalist from the Film and Television Institute of India to make it big. He starred in several superhits. Later on, Nischol switched over to character roles and carved out a successful career for himself in television.
Navin Nischol came into films around the time when there was an enthusiasm for students of FTII, as actors like Shatrughan Sinha, Jaya Bhaduri, Shabana Azmi and many others had stolen the thunder of the more conventional, chocolate-faced actors. Even before he got admission into FTII, the handsome Navin Nischol who had already modelled for 'Will's', had a firm commitment from Mohan Saigal, who was a family friend.
This film turned out to be 'Saawan Bhadon' , also Rekha's debut in Hindi films. It was a hit and at least three careers were made with it: Rekha, Navin and Jayshree T. Like happens with hit pairs, producers signed the two together in films like `Barkha Bahar' but that bombed. Navin's successful phase went on with films like 'Woh Main Nahin', 'Victoria Number 203', 'Dharma', 'Haste Zakham', 'Dhundh' and the very memorable 'Buddha Mil Gaya'. In fact, he was the man who got heroine Yogita Bali into 'Parwana' , in which Amitabh Bachchan played the bad guy.
But his downfall started and Navin went into oblivion till a little later, when with he started doing character roles and TV discovered him. 'Dekh Bhai Dekh' is one of the most popular serials he has done. Life came a full circle when he played a supporting role to Amitabh in 'Major Saab' and a supporting role to Rekha, the heroine of his first film, in 'Aastha'.
On April 24th 2006, his wife committed suicide by hanging at her residence.
