Devanand, the finest actor in Hindi cinema, dedicated 60 years of his life to Hindi cinema as an actor, writer, director, and producer. He was born on September 26, 1923, in the Punjab region of Gurdaspur. His father, Mr. Pishori Lal Anand, was a Gurdaspur court counsel. Dev Saheb successfully completed his matriculation education in Punjab and was sent to Lahore to further his education, where he earned a BA degree in English literature. Devanand and his elder brother Chetan Anand launched Navketan Films in 1949. In 1940, he left his hometown and relocated to Mumbai. He started his career in the Military Censor's Office at Churchgate, earning Rs. 65 per month. He obtained valuable expertise in Hindi film while working in Apat with his elder brother Chetan. He got the leading role in Prabhat Films' Hum Ek Hain as a result of his hard effort in 1946. Anand was offered a few roles in woman-oriented films as the male lead alongside actress Suraiya in the late 1940s. They collaborated on seven films, including Vidya (1948), Jeet (1949), Sher (1949), Afsar (1950), Neeli (1950), Do Sitare (1951), and Sanam (1951). All of his flicks were box office successes. Both Anand and Suraiya fell in love while working on films together and considered marriage. Suraiya had received a diamond ring worth Rs 3000 from Anand at the time of the proposal.

However, because Anand is Hindu and Suraiya is Muslim, their families were opposed to their marriage. After their grandma objected to their relationship, they both stopped acting together. "Do Sitare" was their final film together. Ashok Kumar gave Dev the biggest break of his career. Anand was chosen for the lead role in Bombay Talkies Productions' "Ziddi" (1948), which co-starred Kamini Kaushal and was a tremendous success. In Ziddi, he sang his debut playback song, "Maarne Ki Duain," alongside Kishore Kumar. Nirala (1950), a commercial triumph, saw him for the first time placed opposite Madhubala, with whom he would subsequently become a popular duo. Some famous films of Devanand are Aandhiyan (1952), Taxi Driver (1954), House No. 44 (1955), Nau Do Gyarah (1957), Pocket Maar (1956), Munimji (1955), Funtoosh (1956), C.I.D. (1956), Paying Guest (1957), Kala Pani (1958), Bombai Ka Baboo (1960), and Sharabi (1964). He had commercial hits once more with youthful actresses, such as Sharmila Tagore in Yeh Gulistan Hamara (1972) and Zeenat Aman in Heera Panna (1973).

He headed a group of cinema stars that protested the internal emergency declared by India's then-Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi. Dev Sahab, 88, was suffering from a condition that caused cardiac arrest. Dev Saheb left this world on December 3, 2011, after achieving success in every aspect of his life.
