OFF THE CUFF….
Little known facts about the legendary Chetan Anand from son Ketan… He sits contemplating the sky and the ocean in his home, known affectionately as `The Shack’, on Juhu Beach; rum glass in hand. This is Ketan Anand, son of the legendary film maker Chetan Anand, a film director himself ( Toote Khilone, Hum Rahe Na Hum, Shart, Aaja Meri Jaan, Chetan Anand: The Poetics of Film, TV serials Vijay & Paramveer Chakra ) and my cousin! Popular as `Kunkie’ and `Kunks’ in the family and the film fraternity, he is also my brother Shekhar’s best friend and confidant. Whenever Shekhar is low, he “toodles across” to share a rum and complain about the nasty world to him, he tells me. Kunkie is without doubt a hot favourite with the family. Oh, and he’s an actor too, having made appearances in Dev Anand’s Hare Rama Hare Krishna, Chetan Anand’s Heer Ranjha , Johnny Bakshi’s Raavan, Amit Khanna’s Sheeshay Ka Ghar and an Indo-French film, Hexing, which has been released on Ama
