Bollywood actor Dalip Tahil, famous for his role in films like Baazigar, Raja, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Ghulam, Soldier, Gupt, and Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai was sentenced to two months in prison on Sunday, October 22. The sentence is in regard to his 2018 drunk driving case. In 2018, a charge was put on the actor for drunk driving and ramming his car into an autorickshaw. Now, medical experts have testified in the case.
According to Times Now, the medical professional claimed that Dalip was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident. The signs mentioned in the testimony included the smell of alcohol, dilated pupils, unsteady gait, and incoherent speech.
After the latest testimony, a magistrate’s court sentenced the actor to two months of imprisonment. The incident occurred in Mumbai’s Khar area and a woman sitting in an auto was injured after Dalip’s car rammed into the vehicle. The actor was then arrested by the Mumbai Police but was later released on bail.
As per a report by Dainik Bhaskar, the actor had refused to give his blood samples to the police at that time. However, the woman’s medical tests were conducted. Now, five years later, the 65-year-old actor has received this judgment.
The veteran actor dominated the Hindi film industry with his villainous characters in the 1990s. Initially, he wanted to join the Indian Air Force like his father, but fate had something else planned for him. It was Yash Chopra’s 1993 film Darr that gave him recognition in Bollywood. He played the role of Sunny Deol’s father in the film. His role was highly appreciated. After seeing Dalip Tahil in Darr, the director duo, Abbas-Mustan, was highly impressed by him. They offered him the iconic role of Madan Chopra in the hit film Baazigar. The role became a hit among the audience, and people appreciated him a lot. This was his second consecutive film with Shah Rukh Khan.
