Anil Dhawan is an Indian film and television actor, most known for his debut film, Chetna (1970) and Piya Ka Ghar (1972).[1][2]

He is memorable in the silver screen for the song "Yeh Jeevan Hai" in the movie Piya ka Ghar (1972) with actress Jaya Bhaduri. The music was composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal and sang by Kishore Kumar.[3]
