This actor was once considered bigger than Amitabh Bachchan. Despite a promising start, this lead actor soon became a supporting lead, and his turbulent personal life further dented his career. Trigger warning: The following article has a mention of self-harm.

Navin started his career with the Hindi film Sawan Bhadon (1970). He starred in several superhit movies such as Victoria No. 203 (1972), Dhund (1973) and Hanste Zakhm (1973).
Navin was once considered a bigger star than Amitabh Bachchan and Vinod Khanna. Amitabh also played a villain in Navin Nischol, Yogeeta Bali-starrer Parwana (1972).
In the mid-70s Navin suffered a few commercial failures, and that affected his career. Soon Navin switched to character roles and carved out a successful career for himself as a side actor in films and even on television.
Navin first got married to Dev Anand's niece Neelu Kapur, sister of Shekhar Kapur. However, reportedly he got involved with Padmini Kapila romantically, and it led to the divorce of Navin and Neelu Kapur.
Navin later got married to divorcee Geentanjali. However, on April 22, 2006, Geetanjali died by suicide. She hung herself, and left a suicide note, claiming that Navin 'harassed' her and she was 'mentally tortured' by him. She also wrote that Navin's brother Pravin 'instigated' him to trouble her. Thus, she decided to end her life.
Navin was charged with abetment to his wife's suicide. Nischol and his brother Pravin were remanded to police custody till May 6, 2006, by a local court. As India Today reported, Nischol's lawyer Satish Maneshinde claimed that Geetanjali suffered from depression and that she herself had a drinking problem.
On March 19, 2011, Navin passed away due to a heart attack while travelling to Pune from Mumbai. He is survived by two daughters, Natasha and Nomita from his first marriage. Some of his popular films as a supporting lead were Desh Premee, Zulm Ki Hukumat, Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, Mahaul Theek Hai, Aashiq Banaya Aapne, and Khosla Ka Ghosla. His performance in hit series Dekh Bhai Dekh was also appreciated by the audience.
