Dev Anand and Suraiya's Past Romance and Vijay Anand's Marriage to Niece
Dev Anand and Suraiya shared a youthful romance that ended due to family opposition, particularly from Suraiya's grandmother. Years later, Dev Anand was unexpectedly reunited with Suraiya at public events, which made him uncomfortable. His secretary Ashok Sinha recalled these moments, highlighting their emotional but unresolved connection. Separately, Dev Anand's brother Vijay Anand married his niece Sushma in 1978, a union that faced family resistance but proceeded under spiritual guidance, with Sushma later describing their playful relationship.
