Vinod Mehra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vinod Mehra (1945 - 1990) was an Indian actor, who did most of his films from 1970 to 1996 . He was seen in many multi-starrer films playing supporting roles. He worked with actors like Amitabh Bachhan, Sanjeev Kumar, etc. Some of his prominent films are Amar Prem, Swarg Narak, Khud-daar, Anurodh, Bemisaal, Sabse Bada Rupaiya and Ghar.
He had turned director with the film Gurudev, but he died before the completion of the film at the age of 45 in 1990. The film was released in 1993 after director Raj Sippy completed the remaining shooting that needed to be done.
Many of his delayed films including Insaniyat and Aatank released after his death in 1994 and 1996 respectively.
He was married four times. His first marriage to Meena Broca was arranged by his mother. The marriage was reportedly not consummated as Vinod had a heart attack shortly after the marriage. Once he recovered, he married his frequent leading lady Bindiya Goswami while still married to Meena. Meena left him and went back to her parents house. His marriage to Bindiya also quickly dissolved, and she soon married director J.P. Dutta with whom she has two daughters.[1] He was said to be married to superstar Rekha, although in a 2004 television interview with Simi Garewal, she denied being married to him calling him a "well-wisher."[2] His last wife was Kiran, and that marriage lasted until his death.
