Asif’s magnum opus, Mughal-i-Azam.ĭilip Kumar has always been very cagey about his love affair with the Venus of the Indian Screen and declines to talk about her. But their romance was doomed like the one they portrayed in K. In both these films she co-starred with the only man she loved, Dilip Kumar. There was also a rare spontaneity about her which manifested itself in movies like Tarana and, at the same time, intense poignancy which found expression in the role of the ill-fated Anarkali in Mughal-i-Azam. A case in point is Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi where she dominates over the three Kumar brothers, Ashok, Kishore and Anoop. She had a perfect sense of timing which made her click in lighter roles. He also made no mention of her histrionic abilities.Ĭinema goers and critics have been so dazzled by Madhubala’s looks that they often fail to appreciate her immense talent. He didn’t allude to her attractive complexion and highly chiselled features, nor to her scintillating smile. Dev Anand failed to mention the innocence and vulnerability in her looks. For one thing, her beauty was not fully described.

I found the compliment highly inadequate. “Statuesque is the word I would use for her,” came the instant reply. Years ago, when interviewing actor Dev Anand at Mehboob Studios in Mumbai, I asked him about his co-star, Madhubala.

Madhur Bhushan further said, “My sister has also been denied her pension. Samina has kept everything her mother had, including her jewellery. By the way, Samina said ‘What money?’ When I asked her about mom’s money. But does he care? Had she cared, would she have left the 96-year-old woman alone on a flight from Auckland to Singapore to Bangkok to Colombo to Mumbai? God knows how airlines even agreed to board mommy without anyone’s support, especially in today’s time of COVID. Has Parvez called Sameena after this recent assault? Parvez replied, “Yes, I did. His cash was also snatched by the daughter-in-law “I sent the money in and the first thing he told me after the RTPCR was done was ‘Son, do you know that Farooq is dead? I have come to put me in the grave. “Imagine, not even a month has passed since my brother left us.” The worst part is that Parvez got a call from the flight/airport authorities when the flight landed and the officer concerned told him that his mother did not have money for her RTPCR (COVID) test. Parvez says that Samina’s harassment must have intensified after her brother’s death on January 8 this year.
