The handsome boy featuring in famous songs “Kya hua Tera Vaada” and “Tum Kya Jano Mohabbat Kya Hai” was none other than the actor Taarique Khan. Despite having appeared only in 8 films, this guy left an impact on young girls of those times. He was a Bollywood hottie. With movies like Yaadon ki Baraat, Hum Kisi Se Kam Nahi and Zamane Ko Dikhana Hai, he was a promising trendsetter. His rocking moves on the music composed by R.D. Burman are still remembered vividly.

His good looks, modern dressing style and innocent manner of dialogue delivery earned him brownie points from the film fraternity and the audiences.

Tarique is related to Amir Khan, the famous actor of today’s times. They are cousins.

As he had signed a contract of 3 films with his uncle Nassir Hussain, Tarique could not sign any films outside.

Could this have been the reason for his non-appearance in cinema later?
