The
evergreen
star
of
Bollywood,
Dev
Anand
has
now
donned
a
new
role
but
this
time
of
a
magazine
editor.
Mr.
Dev
Anand
has
received
the
honour
of
being
the
guest
editor
of
bbchindi.com,
an
online
magazine
of
BBC.
This
website
is
mainly
about
India
and
incorporates
the
features
from
the
site's
Entertainment
index,
together
with
original
material
including
stories,
poetry
and
interviews.
The 82 year old actor-director will be the guest editor of this website for a period of three months. Says Anand that he was "pleasantly surprised" at the offer. Dev Anand adds that he has never copied anyone and so hasn't BBC, so the exclusivity is common for both of them. The online magazine is referred to as "patrika" which is the Hindi word for a magazine. Dev Anand will be monitoring the website from Mumbai itself.
