New Delhi. There are many actors in the acting world who have struggled and shone like gold. But there are some actors who fell from the world of riches to the ground and got lost in the darkness of anonymity. One such actor is Bollywood’s veteran actor Raj Kiran Mahtani, who has been living an anonymous life for the last 32 years.
In his career, Raj Kiran has worked in many hit and superhit films. His family members have also been looking for him for a long time. Some media reports claimed that he was seen driving a taxi in New York. Not only this, there was also news that he is in a mental asylum in America. However, his daughter Rishika Mehtani Shah called these things rumours.
Got recognition from Rishi Kapoor’s film
Raj Kiran had worked in many superhit films. But among them, ‘Karz’ was such a film in which he created his own identity by playing the character of Ravi Verma. Rishi Kapoor was seen in the lead role in this film. Raj Kiran had established his identity as a romantic hero. But later he won a lot of accolades by playing many different types of characters. He was also seen playing side roles in films.
Work done with Padmini Kolhapure
Raj had worked in many popular films of his time like ‘Basera’, ‘Arth’ and ‘Raj Tilak’. In the 1985 film Aaj Ka Daur, he also worked with Padmini Kolhapure. Not only this, Raj also worked with Anil Kapoor and Meenakshi Sheshadri in the film Ghar Ho To Aisa. In this film too, he was seen in a side role.
Let us tell you that Raj Kiran was once known as a romantic hero, but soon he became a side hero and started getting typecast for the same kind of roles. After this, he played the role of a side hero in many films, but despite saving his sinking career, by the 90s, Raj Kiran disappeared from the world of acting.
