Waheeda Rehman became emotional unveiling Dev Anand's statue

While unveiling the statue of her once co-star Dev Anand here, yesteryear actress Waheeda Rehman broke into tears. A life-like brass statue of the late legendary actor was unveiled at the Bandra Bandstand Promenade on Dev Anand's first death anniversary on December 3. Speaking at the event, an emotional Waheeda said, "He is not here with us today and I am unveiling his statue. His name will always be remembered in the film industry forever. He will be alive in the people's heart.” She added, "One thing I noticed about Dev saheb was that he was modern yet simple at heart. He never had stylish cars, never had a huge birthday bash and no show offs. When I did my first film with him, he was a star but he never made me realise (I was a newcomer) because he was so cooperative and friendly". Dev Anand's son Suneil Anand, who was also present on the occasion, said: "I am touched that my legendary farther Dev Anand is being honoured. Thanks a lot."
