The legendary actor Dev Anand has earned unconditional love from the audience with his romantic roles, and a dapper image that made him popular among his female fan following. He was one of the earliest superstars of the Hindi film industry, long before the term was officially coined by the Bollywood press. He was also someone who would spot new talent and dared to launch them on the big screen. One such actress who he mentored has been Tina Munim (now Ambani) who has been thankful to the wonderful memories Dev saab has left with her.
Remembering the legendary Dev Anand on his death anniversary, Tina Ambani shared some of her unseen pictures on Instagram and wrote, "A toast to the man who opened the door to a world of possibility, creativity and discovery for me. Thank you for believing in me Dev sa'ab. And thank you for the memories. Your absence is felt deeply."
Not many people would be aware that Tina was Dev saab's find. She had represented India at the International Teen Princess contest in 1975. She caught Dev Anand's eyes when she bagged the prestigious Miss photogenic and Miss Bikini titles at the beauty contest.
It was being said that Tina's bikini act in the 70s had floored Dev saab who decided to launch her in his film Des Pardes as his lead actress. Rumours were rife that Dev saab and Tina had gotten close to each other on the sets of their film and were dating for a while.
While the tongues kept wagging about their budding relationship, Tina has always remained fond of Dev saab. Last year also, Tina had shared some rare pictures with Dev Anand on social media and wrote, "Mentor, guide, friend, one of the most debonair men we will ever see. Miss your presence, feel your absence."

Popular as the stylish loverboy, Dev Anand also dared to play the antihero at a time when most mainstream heroes would not dare doing so.
