The world of glitz and glamour is always shiny and attractive to people, and as a result, many individuals aspire to be an actor. However, what many cannot see is the picture behind the curtain. From the struggles to the rejections, one goes through a lot when it comes to being an actor. Today, we will discuss an actor who once shared the screen with big names of Bollywood such as Amitabh Bachchan, Govinda, and more. He gained fame for his grey shades and had worked in different cinemas including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam.
This actor was once one of the known figures in the industry. However, little did he know that his end would be tragic, so much so that friends and family would abandon him, and he would meet with a tragic end. If all these cues do not ring a bell, then let us tell you that the actor we are discussing is the late famed Mahesh Anand.
Mahesh was a famous face in the 90s. Fans knew him for his villainous roles across all the cinema including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam. Mahesh Anand made his debut in 1984 with the film Karishma. In the coming years, he featured in various films, nonetheless, it was 1988 when Mahesh’s major breakthrough came when he featured in Amitabh Bachchan’s Shahenshah. Though he played the role of a local goon who fought with Bachchan in the film, it brought Mahesh widespread attention.
While Mahesh’s professional life was discussed in the industry, it was his personal life that was under public scrutiny. Would you believe if we say that the actor married five times and none of his marriages sustained? Yes, you read that right! The actor tied the knot five times. He first married Reena Roy’s sister Barkha Roy, then Erica Maria D’Souza, Madhu Malhotra, Usha Bachani, and finally a Russian woman named Lana.
However, none of these marriages sustained. He had a son named Trishul Anand, who cut all ties with him. During his last days, Mahesh shared some concerning posts on his Facebook, when he wrote, “My friends and everyone call me an alcoholic. I have no family. My stepbrother has cheated me of Rs 6 crores. I have done more than 300 films, but I don’t even have money to buy drinking water. I don’t have a single friend in this world.”
In another post for his son Trishul, Mahesh wrote, “My son Trishul… God bless you, my son… Just hug me before I die. Love you for life.” He shared another post where he wrote, “I cry seeing this all day/night…..I love you my son Trishul. I’m your real papa. I know they changed your name to Anthony Vohra….. Please hug me once before I die, love you.”
Days later, the news of Mahesh’s death broke in. As per reports, when Mahesh’s maid kept ringing his doorbell and no response came, she immediately called Mahesh’s sister who later informed the police. When police broke in, they found Mahesh’s body on a sofa, with a bottle of alcohol and a plate of food next to him on the table.
