Bindu – Memories

[Back to Bindu's Menu] I entered the film industry, a married girl. I was all of 16 then and just discovering what marriage was all about. I had a love marriage and my whole family was against it, though my husband and I were very adamant. In fact, even the …

Shyama’s Co-Stars – Dilip Kumar

[Back to Shyama's Menu] He used to be immersed in his work and wouldn’t have fun on the set. He’d give suggestions and we would follow them. But he loved female attention. Yusuf bhai maarenge (he will hit me) if I say more. I have witnessed his romance with Kamini …

Shyama’s Co-Stars – Raj Kapoor

[Back to Shyama's Menu] He was not very tall. So when I was facing the camera with him in Sharda, he said, ‘Go remove your four inch sandals and stand barefoot!’ Every film of his is a lesson in cinema be it Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai or Satyam …

Shyama’s Co-Stars – Guru Dutt

[Back to Shyama's Menu] He was a great director. Being a perfectionist, he would get impatient if things didn’t happen the way he wanted. He’d enact all the expressions for me when I was doing Aar Paar. He was good at that because he was also a dancer. He had …

Shyama’s Co-Stars – Waheeda Rehman

[Back to Shyama's Menu] She was my neighbor. She was good-natured but kept to herself. Guru Dutt was very fond of her. I don’t know about their personal lives but we knew that Geeta Dutt (singer, Guru Duft’s wife) had stopped singing for her. Later, I did Dil Diya Dard …

Shyama’s Co-Stars – Nargis

[Back to Shyama's Menu] Nargis was down-to- earth and humble. She’d always wear white saris, tie her hair in a jooda (bun) and wear gajras (flowers). She never wore lipstick. Once I was shooting for her brother Anwar Hussain’s film when he came and said, “Baby has got married.” The …

Shyama’s Co-Stars – Meena Kumari

[Back to Shyama's Menu] Meena apa was a great actress. She’d cry naturally while doing a scene. We did Sharda together. She loved food and once asked me to get biryani. We spread a mat on the studio floor and ate together. We even ordered fish. She loved zarda paan. …

The Story of an Imp called Tanuja

She is effervescent—like the fizz on her favourite drink, lemonade! Indeed, during the making of “Hamari Beti,” in which her- famous sister made her debut, the six-year-old Tanuja had only to be promised, a lemonade to make her say her lines. When she is not bouncing around, laughing, or making …
