There was a time when the love story of Suraiya and Dev Anand was very much in the news in the industry. Both loved each other but could not be together. According to reports, Suraiya’s grandmother did not approve of this marriage because Dev was a Hindu. Dev Anand tried a lot to marry Suraiya, who was born in a Muslim family, but it could not happen. After being in a relationship for 3-4 years, both of them separated and Dev Anand started living a liberal life. To overcome this sorrow, Dev Anand’s elder brother Chetan Anand thought of making a film because at that time Dev Anand was refusing to do films to everyone but he could not refuse his elder brother. The name of this film was ‘Taxi Driver’ and the lead actress in it was Kalpana Kartik. During the shooting of this film, Kalpana and Dev Anand came close to each other and then fell in love.
