Mini Biography :
Manoj Kumar (born July 24, 1937, at Abbottabad) is an Indian actor and director in the Bollywood film industry. He is known for acting in and directing films with patriotic themes; for this reason he has been given the nickname of Mr. Bharat (Bharat is the Sanskrit and Hindi term for India).
Manoj Kumar was born Harikishen Goswami in Abbottabad, a town of Punjab, India (currently in Pakistan). When he was 10, his Hindu family had to move to India due to Partition. As a youth, he admired Bollywood superstar Dilip Kumar, and decided to name himself Manoj Kumar after Dilip’s character in Shabnam (1949). He then decided to enter the film world himself.

After making a unnoticed debut in Fashion in 1957, Manoj landed his first leading role in Kaanch Ki Gudia (1960) opposite Sayeeda Khan. Piya Milan Ki Aas and Reshmi Roomal followed, setting the stage for the Vijay Bhatt-directed Hariyali Aur Raasta (1962) opposite Mala Sinha. Manoj then appeared with 1960s icon Sadhana in Raj Khosla’s Woh Kaun Thi (1964), and reunited with Vijay Bhatt and Mala Sinha in Himalaya Ki God Mein (1965).
