Vijay Arora(1944-2007)

Superstar Rajesh Khanna himself admitted that if there was any actor at that time, who had the potential to become a superstar after him, then it was only Vijay Arora.

In September 2006, just a few months before his death, he explained his acting career: "I never tried making a comeback, I never tried to lobby for roles. I never believed in being a part of the industry politics. It was always my choice to accept or reject roles. Even today I'm offered roles in A-grade movies and TV serials. But I don't want to do roles which don't suit my age or portray me in an immoral and disgraceful manner - especially in those sleaze flicks which are disrespectful of women. I don't mind roles with negative shades, playing the sadistic villain or a betrayer. In fact, I love them."
