Dharam Dev Pishorimal Anand was born on 26th September 1923 in Gurdaspur now in Pakistan made his way to Bombay then (Mumbai) to become an actor in the industry. It was under the Prabhat's banner that the veteran fetched his first role in the movie "Hum Ek Hain". The film was about Hindu-Muslim unity, where Dev played the Hindu boy role.

With this Dev Anand never looked back and it was in the year 1950 that the thespian made his company known as "Navketan", while the first film under this banner was "Afsar". This was just the beginning of his career but he had something more to give. His innovative ideas and the capacity to think ahead of his time made him the youth icon of his era. During his period where actors of his age failed to get the leading role, Dev Anand was seen playing the lead opposite those actresses who were much younger to him.
