Amjad Khan has been ‘the iconic villain’ of Bollywood. He got maximum fame from the role of Gabbar Singh (Sholay) and Dilawar (Muqaddar Ka Sikandar). He is known for villain roles but his real life was very romantic. When Amjad Khan was studying B.A, he fell in love with 14 years old Shehla who was his neighbour too. Amjad Khan insisted her not to call ‘Bhai’ and one day he proposed her by saying - ‘Hurry up and grow up because I am going to marry you.’ He had also sent a marriage proposal to her home which her father refused stating that she was very young for marriage. But the love was there, so nothing could stop them to share their feelings for each other. After being in love for many years, Amjad Khan again sent the marriage proposal which was gladly accepted by her parents. Amjad Khan’s personal life was going very smooth but one incident changed everything. In 1976, Amjad Khan had a severe accident on the Mumbai-Goa highway which left him with broken ribs and a punctured lung. He was going to participate in the shooting of ‘The Great Gambler’. At the time of accident, Shehla was six months pregnant with their daughter Ahlam. After the accident, her multiple bones were broken but thankfully the child was safe and healthy. Due to the serious injuries Amjad Khan also almost slipped into a coma, but he recovered soon. The drug administered during his operation caused him to gain a lot of weight, which led to further health complications. As a result of his increasing weight, he died in 1992 due to heart failure at the age of 51. Amjad Khan's wife doesn't watch any
