Prem Chopra is ‘a happy villain’

Veteran actor Prem Chopra, popular for playing negative roles on the big screen, says he has no regrets and he is happy being a villain.

“I have been an honest and hard working actor irrespective of the status of the film, whether it’s big or small. I always wanted to create certain characters which I thought I will be getting them but eventually it was going to the heroes.”

“As a person, if you ask me ‘Do you have any regrets?’ I have no regrets. I have been a happy villain,” Prem, who acted as villain in 1960s films like “Teesri Manzil” and “Woh Kaun Thi”, told reporters here at the unveiling of his biography “Prem Naam Hai Mera” Saturday evening.

Meanwhile, the actor is also happy for veteran lyricist Gulzar, who has been chosen to receive the Dadasaheb Phalke Award.

“It’s a moment to cherish. I am very happy for him. Whoever is deserving, gets it. Good luck to Gulzar,” said Prem.
