The left-arm orthodox spinner who shines bright in the history books of Indian cricket with 266 wickets in 67 Tests, formed India's famous spin quartet – the other three being BS Chandrasekhar, Erapalli Prasanna and S Venkataraghavan. His son Angad used to play age level cricket for Delhi but then went into modelling and later featured on the silver screen.

After getting the audience’s nod for television programmes like Emotional Atyachar (Season 1) and Cook Na Kaho, Angad turned a lot of heads with his intriguing performance in the highly acclaimed courtroom drama, PINK, starring alongside a talented cast which involved Amitabh Bachchan. He will also be seen in Salman Khan starrer Tiger Zinda Hai, which is scheduled to release this December.
