Amrish Puri was born in Naushar (Jalandhar) in the Punjab region of India. His parents were (father) Lala Nihal Chand and (mother) Ved Kaur. He had four siblings, elder brothers Chaman Puri and Madan Puri (both of whom also became actors), elder sister Chandrakanta, and a younger brother, Harish Puri. He graduated from BM College in Simla, Himachal Pradesh. Amrish came to Bombay with not even hundred rupees in his pocket and made it so big with his sheer hard work, perseverance, and disciplined lifestyle.
I really like to see his movies, he was not only good villain but overall he was a excellent actor. A person who started his career in the age of 38 and touched great heights. "MOGAMBO KHUSH HUA" even a child knows his slangs. He is known to Western audiences for his roles as Khan in Richard Attenborough’s movie Gandhi (1982) and as the main antagonist Mola Ram in the Steven Spielberg movie Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984).
