Vijay Arora (27 December 1944 – 2 February 2007) was an actor in Hindi films and television serials, most famous for his roles in Yaadon Ki Baaraat and as Indrajit in the television serial Ramayan. He is not to be confused with another Vijay Arora, who is a cinematographer.
In September 2006, just a few months before his death, he explained his acting career: "I never tried making a comeback, I never tried to lobby for roles. I never believed in being a part of the industry politics. It was always my choice to accept or reject roles. Even today I'm offered roles in A-grade movies and TV serials. But I don't want to do roles which don't suit my age or portray me in an immoral and disgraceful manner - especially in those sleaze flicks which are disrespectful of women. I don't mind roles with negative shades, playing the sadistic villain or a betrayer. In fact, I love them."
