Cinemaazi remembers Manmohan Krishna on his birth anniversary

One of the most fondly remembered character actors of Hindi cinema, Manmohan Krishna was born in pre-Independence Lahore in 1922. While he went on to become a prolific actor, Manmohan Krishna spent his early career as a Lecturer of Physics in Rajakiya Vidyalaya in Lahore. But while teaching, he also harboured a desire for a career in the radio. Armed with a magnetic personality, an impressive voice, and his debate skills, he travelled to Bombay to give an interview– a journey that decided his acclaimed career in cinema. A chance meeting with the legendary filmmaker V Shantaram at a party opened the gates of the film industry for him.
