VIJAY ARORA DISCUSSION TOPICS

GOD HELP OUR BOMBAY FILM WORLD

DHALL

Vijay Arora's passing away has come as a shock to me. I have always imagined him to be a sweet hero especially after seeing him in the blockbuster: YAADON KI BARAAT.

I also remember which I think was his debut movie along with Reena Roy, viz., ZAROORAT at Shalimar, Bombay. In that movie, he powerfully played the role of a handicapped husband for whose treatment his wife (Reena) goes to any length.

May his soul rest in peace.
