The story of the generosity of Dev Anand

After such difficult days, he received a fee of Rs 400 for his first film Hum Ek Hain. It was not just money for him, but a new ray of hope.

When he was returning after finishing his shooting, he saw a very old and weak beggar who was suffering from hunger. Seeing him, Dev Anand remembered the days of his struggle. Without thinking anything, he took out the entire income from his pocket and put it in the hands of that beggar.

Why did Dev Anand give full money to the beggar

When one of his friends came to know about this, he was surprised. He asked Dev Anand, “Why did you give your first earnings like this? You were in dire need of it!”
