Indian actor Dev Anand speaks about his past of struggle

Indian actor Dev Anand speaks about his struggle days, he says, "I think it's come to my mind very vividly because probably the 19th of July 1943 I landed in Bombay by the then frontier mail at the Bombay Central from Lahore which is now Pakistan after my graduation from Lahore Government College and I was very young I think I was eighteen and a half years old and I came with the positive mind to be in the movies because after my graduation I applied for a commission in the Navy, those were the war days and I was rejected because my father had political leanings, my older brother had political leanings for the Congress so the British Government was not very keen to take me in and I wanted an outlet for some expression and any individual who would like to put it across for the world so I thought either journalism or acting in the films would be the alternative so I came with the very idea to be in the movies and it was in 43 and it was a big struggle and until the late 46 I could join the Prabhat and until then for two years in Bombay of the story a big struggle making both ends meet starvation levels going by train by busses, by trams dreaming away for the future and then for a short while I did a little stint in the people's theatre not very big roles becauseI think those days Khwaja Ahmed Abbas, Balraj Sahani and Chetan Anand were great, they were all in the theatre and I could persuade them to make me part of the setup".
