Joy Mukherjee – yesteryear heart-throb – dies

Joy Mukherjee – the actor from 1960s – died today.  He was a handsome youngman who did quite a few famous movies including Ek Musafir Ek Hasina and Love in Tokyo.  He was from family steeped in movies.  He was related to the Ganguly brothers – Ashok Kumar, Kishore Kumar and Anoop Kumar.

During his heyday, Joy Mukherjee bowled over many a young women with his raw handsome looks and smooth ways.
