Manmohan – Memories
My father was quite lucky when it came to films. He did not have to struggle, the industry was very kind to him. He also came from a well to do family, who had their own business. He was born and brought up in Jamshedpur. Totally different from his other …

Navin Nischol – Memories
I started my career with Saawan Bhadon. Incidentally, it was Rekha’s first film as well. Though she was doing a few films with Biswajeet and others, she had hit the headlines by then. She was the first heroine in Indian cinema, to pose for a kiss, for a leading foreign …

Dad was born in Peshawar, in the year 1943. Grandfather was Jayant, the actor. Dad’s family shifted to Bombay during Partition. In those times, there was nothing like a hero or a villain in films. You could be a hero in one film and an extra in another. It all …

Memories – A.R. Kardar
Walking down memory lane, recalling the best years of my life with my father, makes me nostalgic and I find it difficult to put thoughts on to paper. He was the most wonderful and caring father anyone could ever have. My mother Mrs. Akhtar Sultana Kardar was his life-long inspiration. …
Sadhana Recollections – Raj Kumar (1964)
This is a film I have many positive memories of. I enjoyed making it and I felt very comfortable working with my co-star, Shammi Kapoor. I had a very different kind of a role, that of a tribal princess, with different outfits, intricate hairdos and things like that. One song …
Sadhana Recollections – Woh Kaun Thi? (1964)
One incident I find hard to forget about this film is associated with it’s very famous title song, Naina barse rimjhim rimjhim. The first shooting schedule for this song (picturized in several different situations in the film) was in Simla. Just when the entire unit was ready to leave for …
