He wrote a book, narrating his realisations from experiences with Dadaji, titled Destiny with Dadaji.[2] Later in his career, he acted in many mythological films. He played a negative role in Memsaab, starring Vinod Khanna and Yogita Bali and in Ishq par Zor Nahin, starring Biswajeet, Sadhna, and Dharmendra.
