Ramesh Deo (born in 1926, said by Wikipedia; and according to IMDb was born in 1929).
Still active. Recent film: Marudhar Express (2019).
His early films are all Marathi (starting 1950). He must have acted in lead roles in some or all of those films.
Looking at IMDB filmography, I think his first Hindi films were Mausi in 1958 and AVM's Baap Bete in 1959. AVM is a major production house and another male lead in that film is Ashok Kumar, next listed is Ramesh Deo. Ramesh Deo must have had a major role or romantic lead in that film (with Chitra) if not hero. Then, famous film Aarti in 1962. Many Hindi films Hindi from then on. Recall his major roles in his early Hindi films Dus Lakh and Teen Bahuraniyan.
