Romancing with Life: An Autobiography

In Romancing with Life, Dev Anand tells his remarkable life story - no less dramatic and gripping than any of his films - as only he could. Here are tales from Dev’s youth in 1930s Gurdaspur and Lahore; his years of struggle in 1940s Bombay; his doomed romance with Suraiya; his marriage to co-star Kalpana Kartik; and his relationships with his many luminous heroines. Romancing with Life is the quintessential Dev Anand - a book chock-full of bittersweet reminiscences, written in a pacy, effervescent style that carries the reader through sixty of Bollywood’s most interesting years.
