Dev Anand made his debut as an actor with the movie 'Hum Ek Hain'(1946).
In the late forties Dev Anand got a few offers to star opposite singer-actress Suraiya in woman oriented films, as the male lead.
Dev Anand considered himself to be lucky to get a chance to star opposite such an established actress and accepted the offers.
While shooting these films, he became romantically involved with Suraiya.
The two of them were paired in seven films together - 'Vidya' (1948), 'Jeet' (1949), 'Shair' (1949), 'Afsar' (1950), 'Nili' (1950), 'Do Sitare' (1951) and 'Sanam' (1951).
Dev was offered his first big break by Ashok Kumar. He spotted Dev hanging around in the studios and picked him as the hero for the Bombay Talkies production, 'Ziddi', costarring Kamini Kaushal (1948).
