Biographies
and
biopics
might
be
in
vogue
today
with
several
Bollywood
stars
coming
out
with
one,
but
veteran
actor
Manoj
Kumar
is
not
comfortable
with
the
idea
of
doing
the
same
on
his
life
story.
Kumar
says
he
is
neither
in
favour
of
a
biopic
on
his
life,
nor
a
book
as
it
would
involve
talking
about
other
people
too,
which
may
not
be
a
good
idea.
In
an
interview
with
PTI,
Kumar
says,
"I
am
against
my
biography
also.
I
can
write
about
myself,
but
there
are
other
persons
involved
in
it
and
I
will
have
to
name
them.
I'll
be
exposing
them
then,
which
I
don't
like...."
The
actor
says
no
one
has
even
approached
him
for
a
biopic
or
a
book
as
they
know
his
temperament.
"Is
the
audience
only
interested
in
how
I
came
to
Mumbai,
how
I
struggled,
how
many
nights
I
spent
in
writing
and
conceiving
my
films?
They
are
not...
But
nobody
has
approached
me,
honestly.
They
know
my
temperament."
While
he
may
not
be
so
keen
for
a
film
on
his
life,
he
is
all
praise
for
the
special
four-episode
feature-biopic
on
actor
Prem
Nath,
titled
"Amar
Prem
Nath".
It
is
a
tribute
to
the
actor
by
his
son
Monty.
The
80-year-old
actor,
who
worked
with
Prem
Nath
in
films
like
Roti
Kapda
Aur
Makaan,
Shor,
Dus
Numbari,
among
others,
says
he
shared
a
wonderful
equation
with
him.
"Prem
Nath
was
the
Anthony
Quinn
of
India,
he
could
do
any
role
you
say.
I
always
considered
him
as
a
senior,
an
elder
brother
and
he
considered
me
like
his
son.
We
were
very
close.
In
fact,
he
told
me
to
take
care
of
Monty,
his
son,
after
he
is
gone."
While
there
are
several
memories
and
anecdotes
to
share,
the
one
memory
which
Kumar
says
he
will
never
forget
is
when
Prem
Nath
was
hospitalised.
"He
wasn't
well
once
and
was
admitted
to
Breach
Candy
hospital.
I
went
to
see
him.
He
said
'why
did
you
come,
it's
okay,
don't
worry'.
Next
day,
I
received
an
envelope,
when
I
opened
it,
it
had
his
chest
hair,
which
were
shaved
to
do
some
tests.
"I
called
him
up
to
ask
why
did
you
send
me
this.
He
replied-
'I
don't
know
if
anyone
will
immerse
my
ashes
but
at
least
you
will
(immerse)
my
hair.
I
trust
you'," Kumar
says.
The
last
episode
of
the
series
will
air
tomorrow
on
Zee
Classic.
