Dev Anand had told the meaning of love: Said- Love does not mean spending nights with a woman, it is important for love to be spiritual.
Dev Anand sahab lived his life with simplicity. He was a lover not only in films but also in real life. Dev sahab fell in love with Suraiya at first sight and she also became crazy about him. But as it is shown in films that two lovers never meet due to the bondage of religion and caste, Dev sahab found it in real life. Talking about love in an interview in 2008, Dev sahab had said that love is very beautiful. But it does not mean that you just spend nights with women in the name of love. Thinking about a beautiful girl or reading a poem is also a kind of romance. For those people for whom love means only having a relationship, Dev Anand believed that it is more important for love to be spiritual. The actor also openly accepted the love that came into his life. Dev Anand had told that his first love was Suraiya. After separating from her, he fell in love with Zeenat Aman. Dev Anand was saddened to see Zeenat with Raj Kapoor. In an old interview, Dev Anand had said that after working with Zeenat Aman, he started liking her. He had thought that he would take her to Taj Hotel and tell her his feelings. Both of them had gone there earlier also for lunch and dinner. But he did not do so. Actually, he had seen Zeenat with Raj Kapoor. Many years after this incident, Zeenat had said that she had no idea that he had something like this in his mind.
