RARE LOVE STORIES!

Suraiyya with Gregory Peck!

Here are two rare love stories of Beautiful Singer-Actress of our Indian cinema.. Suraiyya!

Dev Anand & Suraiyy's on screen love!

First was with Hollywood star..Gregory Peck whom Suraiyya admired a lot. And he paid a surprise visit to her!

Second was with..Dev Anand who was in love with Suraiyya! They both acted in films 'Vidya' (1948), 'Jeet' (1949), 'Afsar' (1950) & 'Sanam' (1951). As old media mentioned he used to enact Gregory Peck's mannerism to please her!

But their love story was unsuccessful..like Suraiyya sung 'Mirza Ghalib's nazm...
"yeh na thī hamārī qismat ki visāl-e-yār hotā.."

Suraiyy & Dev Anand's off screen love!

[Long back I wrote about them in my series of article about 'Hit Pairs on Indian Screen'!]
