New Delhi. An actor entered the Bollywood industry during the 70s. This actor worked as a villain, supporting roles and as a lead actor. At that time, when stars like Mithun Chakraborty and Amitabh Bachchan were on top, this star gave tough competition to the rising stars with his entry. In a career spanning 45 years, this actor, who brought smiles on the faces of millions of people in Bollywood, had worked hard to make his mark on the strength of his strong acting and unmatched voice.

Be it the lead actor or actress in the films, 70 percent of the credit goes to them for the film being a hit, but the truth is that any film is incomplete without villains and character roles. There are many actors and actresses in Bollywood, who have proved their mettle with their performances. But there is also a hero who was born in a rich family and spent his childhood in a refugee camp. When he grew up, he reached Mayanagari with 400 rupees to make his dreams come true.

We are talking about Bollywood actor Suresh Oberoi, who was born on 17 December 1946 in Quetta, Pakistan. Suresh Oberoi’s father had a substantial real estate business in Pakistan. But a year after Suresh was born, his family moved to India. His family moved from Quetta, Pakistan to Hyderabad during the India-Pakistan partition.
