Karan Dewan – Interview
He was the superstar of his time, the first hero whose picture ran for 169 weeks in Calcutta. He was the first, and probably the last, to co-star with a wide variety and galaxy of heroines. Look at the names : Manju, Leela Desai, Nalini Jaywant, Swarnalata, Noorjehan, Suraiya, Meena …
Kalpana Mohan – Interview
Chacha Nehru was her ideal: “You know he is real. He is like Lord Krishna. So full of love — love in its purest and finest sense. Whenever I looked at him, I experienced an inner joy and ecstasy. Around him was that something, aura.” Archana, who became Kalpana, remembers …
Munawwar Sultana – Interview
What does one expect when one is to visit a heroine of yesteryear? A room full of faded pictorial memories, an aged, grey-haired forgotten lady, wistfully thinking about the days that were. But things at Munawwar Sultana’s (now Mrs. Munawwar Sharaf Ali) were different. The room where we sat had …
Chitra – Interview
The little kid Afsar-un-nisa, about six years old, was merrily jogging along behind her father, as they were crossing the railway lines in their home-town, Hyderabad. Suddenly she fell into a ditch and kept clinging to the railway track yelling, “Abba…”, for dear life. He was a few steps …
Rehman – My Memorable Roles
In the twenty years or so that I have been acting in films, I have appeared in many roles—a whole heap of them—but not in many memorable roles. Hard to create, memorable roles are hard to come by. It takes a lot of thought, skill and imagination to conceive and …
Ranjeet – Interview (2012)
He was the devil incarnate. The locket dangling on his bare chest being witness his lustful exploits. The iconic baddie of the ’70s and ’80s, Ranjeet shot to fame with the infamy of having committed a record 350 rapes — on screen! That it made him the most wanted pinup …
Farida Jalal – Interview (2000)
Farida Jalal is happy and it shows. Her radiant complexion fascinates us. Isn’t she too young to play a mother, we wonder! She is shooting for her serial ‘Hum Hain Anari’ at Malad. We have a tete-a-tete as she relaxes between shots. We start at the very beginning… her …
Vyjayanthimala – Interview (2012)
In a career spanning just over two decades, the veteran acted in 65 films. Working with the topmost heroes of the era, she was a coveted leading lady. And though she quit films four decades ago, a compilation of four of her films — Madhumati, Devdas, Sangam and Naya Daur …
Mubarak Begum – Interview (2011)
Khiza ka rang kabhi nazar se door na huwa (The shade of autumn never went out of sight) Kati hai umar baharon ki arzoo karte karte (I have spent a lifetime waiting for spring) Singer Mubarak Begum recites the couplet to describe the past decades spent in strife and despair. …
Nadira – Interview
Nadira was and still remains one of the most vivacious and impish beauties Bollywood has ever produced. Her graceful élan in Aan, her bold, coquettish presence in Shree 420… She had the country turning and staring with her famous `Mud mud ke na dekh’! But the Nadira of today had …
