It is not the first time India is talking about Balochistan. When Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his concern over the happenings in Balochistan in his Independence Day speech, everyone was vocal in their reactions against the PM, asking what was the reason behind his speech on Balochistan, that too on our Independence Day.

However, many of us are not aware of the fact that Balochistan has been an integral part of the Indian society; both religiously as well as on the business platform. Our relations with Balochistan dates way back. Balochistan has been a helping hand for India, be it in matters religious or of business. Even after the Independence, in 1947, many residents of Balochistan who came to India during Partition, made it big in Bollywood.

Bollywood actors Kader Khan, Rajkumar, Amjad Khan and Suresh Oberoi were either born in or had connections with the Balochistan province in Pakistan.

Legendary actor Kader Khan was born in Pishin in Balochistan of Undivided India. He spent most of his childhood in Pishin with his mother. His father later moved to Mumbai along with his family for business.

The high-base voice, and one of the most romantic dialogues of Hindi cinema, "Apne pair zameen par mat rakhiyega, maile ho jayenge," from Pakeezah, became immortal when Kulbhushan Pandit popularly known as Rajkumar, gave his his voice to it.

The actor was born in Loralai in Balochistan on October 8, 1926, who later moved to Mumbai where he worked as a sub-inspector with the Mumbai Police before he started acting.

"Are o sambha, kitne aadmi the?" Remember the famous dialogue from Sholay? When Ramesh Sippy finalised actor Amjad Khan for the role o Gabbar Singh, he would never have thought that the dialogues written by Salim-Javed for Gabbar Singh would be so popular that its legacy would continue to appeal to younger generations as well.

Born in Quetta, Balochistan on November 12, 1940, Amjad Khan gave Bollywood yet another connection to Balochistan.

The list doesn't end here. Some of the other actors who hail from Balochistan are Suresh Oberoi, born in Quetta, Balochistan; Veena, whose real name is Tajour Sultana; Zeba Bakhtiyar, the famous heroine from Henna, and many others.
