/> "One after another I've lost two of my favourite co-stars, first Shammi Kapoor now Dev Anand. We did three films together. Out of them Nasir Hussain Saab's Jab Pyar Kissise Hota Hai was a huge success. We had a ball shooting that film.

I was relatively new and Nasir Saab and Dev Saab were big names. Dev Saab was so full of beans, he made me feel like a has-been even at that young age. He could never sit still. He'd be all over the place, ‘Asha, do this, do that. Don't stand there. Go go go...'

The clock never stopped for him. Working with him was like being on an express train. The journey was relentless and exhilarating. We went on to do two other films Mahal and Kahin Aur Chal.

The latter didn't do well. But I still remember a sequence that Dev Saab performed on the beach. It was a very emotional scene and he swam through it. Dev Saab was such a huge star that people didn't give him enough credit as an actor. He was very stylish. But he was also a brilliant actor.

His clothes, hairstyle, the way he talked and waked exuded glamour and uniqueness. And he was a complete film person. Actor, director, writer, producer.... He lived breathed ate and slept cinema. Today I see that kind of passion only in Aamir Khan.

Dev Saab's enthusiasm infected everyone he worked with. I couldn't keep in touch with him much because he spent most of his time in Mahabaleshwar writing, thinking new ideas.

He would barely be finished with one film and he would already be planning his next. I think he lived, really lived. All of us others are just not that charged about life. There can never be another Dev Anand. "
