The actor Mahesh Anand found dead in his Mumbai apartment on Saturday, was so desperate and financially desperate that he was ready to accept any offer of money. actor who would accompany him. The director Pahlaj Nihalani was the last to offer a role to Mahesh Anand.

Nihalani says: "I did not offer him Rangeela Raja. He insisted on being in the movie when he was almost done. I suddenly got a call from Mahesh. I've already worked with him in some movies like Aag Ka Gola and Andaz. I have always loved Mahesh. He was simple in his relations, friendly and courageous. At the time, his physique was the envy of many heroes. The minute he took off his shirt to fight, some heroes would become uncertain.

Is this why Mahesh stopped looking for work? "Perhaps. It's a fact that he was jobless. He had stopped working for more than ten years. I do not know his financial situation. But it must have been painful. Although married 2 or 3 times and that he had a son, Mahesh lived on his own. He had an impressive dog for a companion of whom he was very proud. He would take the dog everywhere with him. He treated the dog like a tiger. Mahesh was all macho and tough, muscular and nervous well before the entertainment industry spread, "said Nihalani.

Nihalani remembers Mahesh's desperate appeal to work. "He said that he wanted to be part of Rangeela Raja. I told him that there remained only the climax of the film. He asked to be integrated into the climax. I felt his need and I played him a role at the last moment of the shoot. The problem is that Mahesh did not look for enough work. He lived in his own world. Here, you have to be urgent when you need work.

Nihalani refers to an alcohol problem and an illness. "He liked his drinks. But I do not know if he had a problem with alcohol. He also had a kidney problem. But his main problem was the lack of work opportunities. "

Sushant Singh, Secretary General of the Cine & TV Artists Association (CINTAA), reveals that Mahesh Anand had suicidal tendencies. "Our executive committee member, Nupur Alankar, has deterred him from a suicidal fight last year. she was in contact with him even after that. It is the responsibility of freelancers to be prepared for the day when opportunities begin to dry up. I do not think that Mahesh Anand has ever asked for financial help from anyone, he has become a loner and it is only now that we are discovering various problems he was facing. "
