Dev Anand's Resilience After Film Flop

Dev Anand's Resilience After Film Flop

Dev Anand was a famous actor and director in Hindi cinema.

He made a film called 'Ishk Ishk Ishk' in 1974, which he was very excited about.

He even sold his house and his wife's jewellery to make this film.

When the film was shown to the public, people started leaving the theatre after just 15 minutes.

This was a big disappointment for Dev Anand.

But he didn't give up.

After hearing the bad news, he went into the bathroom for just 5 minutes and came back with a new idea for a film.

His nephew, Shekhar Kapur, who was there, was very impressed by Dev Anand's ability to bounce back from failure.

Dev Anand believed that making films should be a passionate and fearless journey, even if it means taking big risks.
