Many heartfelt wishes for a happy birthday to Pran from me also. I have been wondering about his health lately. I have not seen him any movies or heard any news of him. How is he doing? Can you or someone else provide information about him ? He is one of the few remaining film people who have a connection with pre-partition Lahore.Harjinder

I consider him to be the greatest and most complete actor of all time. Happy Birthday!

Pran to celebrate his 88th birthday
Bollywood’s most under-rated villain Pran will be celebrating his 88th birthday tomorrow (12th February), with his daughter Pinky Bhalla, at a Juhu restaurant.
Pran appeared in many films during his tenure, most noted for Shaheed, Upkar, and Zanjeer. He also released his biography three years ago… titled ‘and Pran’.
Many of the industry’s veteran stars will also be present. We wish this great actor a great day.







THE HUNT FOR 'PRAN'
Introduction
A biography of Pran, the veteran film actor, authored by Bunny Reuben and published by Harper Collins, is to be released on 1st October 2004, at a grand launch in Mumbai in the presence of film stars, many of whom have worked with Pran in his long and distinguished career.
Pran & the missing generation
One of the strange facts relating to Pran's extremely successful career as a screen villain is that mothers were reluctant to name their boys "Pran" - the name coming to reflect the fear & loathing that the actor's screen portrayals generated.
This particular fact came to light when a group of college students, members of a Pran fan club, came to Mumbai to meet their screen idol. They related to a surprised Pran their curiosity at a lack of a Pran amongst them, which led them to research the rolls of the various educational institutions of Uttar Pradesh, where they themselves were students. They were astonished to find not a single student with the name Pran.
Pran, needless to say, felt that, as an actor, it was one of the greatest compliments he could receive. He felt that to be in the company of Ravana (a name similarly forsaken by mothers over the centuries) was the highest compliment a 'villain' could receive.
The Hunt for Pran
The publishers of the biography of Pran conducted a worldwide search for the oldest person called Pran, born after 1960 and will invite the person (and his 'brave' mother, to receive the first copy of Pran's biography at the Book Launch on 1st October 2004 in Mumbai. (Of course suitable documents will be required for verification of the date of birth.)
A parallel competition could be held for the youngest 'Pran', born before 1960, to identify the extent of the missing years when the name 'Pran' was considered taboo.
Details of "The Hunt for Pran" Competition
Selection criteria: Two sets of winners:
1. Birth after 1960 - oldest "new" Pran
2. Birth before 1960 - youngest "old" Pran
3. The year 1960 is indicative only and 1955 or some other date may be applicable - the intention is to find the people best identifying the time limits of the missing generation.

EPILOGUE
by
Pran
I am an actor.
And proud to be one.
The film industry gave me far more than what I could ever have imagined.
It gave me the respect of the people I worked with - the technicians, the actors, the workers and all I came in contact with. And it gave me the love and adoration of the fans.
I salute the Film Industry.
I am a Bombaywallah (now a Mumbaikar).
And proud to be one.
The City took me in after Partition and looked after me, nurtured me, gave me and my family a home.
I made friendships here, fleeting ones and others that lasted a lifetime.
I am ever grateful to the City.
I am an Indian.
And proud to be one.
Colonized, divided, battered and bruised, my country has weathered all storms, even sheltering people displaced by other storms - natural and man-made.
My Country has my undying love.
Guzre hue zamaane ka ab tazkaraa hi kya,
Achcha guzar gayaa, bahut achcha guzar gayaa.
Wishing Pran a very Happy Birthday

A famous proverb says that, "Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." Well, this is exactly what our today's Birthday Boy is all about! He is none other than the 'Oldest Living Young Man of Bollywood'… Pran!
One can even imagine fish without water, but just cannot imagine Bollywood without this man! Having started off his career with Yamala Jat, he has left a mark that no one in Bollywood can even dream of! He started his career as a total villain but 'reformed' in Manoj Kumar'sUpkaar, after which he played character roles, or roles of villains with hearts of gold!
