Personal life
In early years of his life, Ketan and his brother Vivek Anand featured in a song alongside Dev Anand and Sheila Ramani from the movie Funtoosh. Watching his father make films, Ketan decided to forgo administration as his major and concentrated on theater. He graduated from St. Stephen's College, Delhi. He co-authored the book Chetan Anand: The Poetics of Film with his mother.
In 2002, Ketan and his brother Vivek were sentenced to life imprisonment along with their two servants in the case relating to the sensational murder of actress Priya Rajvansh. Judge S.P. Nikam passed the operative part of the order and sent the Anand brothers to custody. The four accused were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in July 2002. They were later released on bail.
In 2008, Ketan Anand is all set to revive his father, Chetan Anand's banner Himalaya Films with a psychological love story titled Petrol Pump. This movie was written some 30–40 years ago by his father Chetan Anand who had wanted to direct the film himself with Raaj Kumar and Rajesh Khanna in the lead. But things didn't work out. The script was his last gift to his son when he died. Ketan will be launching his cousin Vaibhav Anand in the movie.
