In a family of academics and
doctors, and four sons named after the four brothers of the epic, Ramayan,
the youngest and most pampered, Shatrughan Sinha (SS) stood out defiantly
different. Studies were anathema to him; he was born to entertain and earn applause.
In fact, he was born for the limelight. In the face of stiff opposition from
a disciplinarian father, Bhuvaneshwar Prasad Sinha, and with the indulgence
of older brother Lakhan who initiated SS to the fantasy world of Hindi
cinema, mother Shyama Devi�s chhutka bauwa (little one) set out for the
erstwhile Film Institute of India in Poona. Bombay would be the next logical
destination. Without Kapoorian good looks or any connection with the Hindi
film industry, the unknown scarface from Patna went on to create history on
celluloid. In politics too, with no known surname or family to power his
entry, he set a record as the first film star from India to be sworn-in as a
Cabinet Minister twice over. Anything But Khamosh: The Shatrughan Sinha Biography,
is a fascinating read that retraces the controversial journey of India�s
most popular Bihari Babu.
