Meena Kumari is one of the most remembered and loved actresses in the history of Indian cinema. Her beauty and on-screen aura has remained unparalleled over the years. While professionally, her careers had no bounds, her personal life was not always very rosy. The actress had a bad marriage with husband Kamal Amrohi, apart from a very traumatic childhood.
Hindi cinema’s He-Man Dharmendra is 89 years old, but his handsomeness has not diminished today. There was a time in the actor’s film career when many actresses from Hema Malini to Jaya Bachchan were crazy about him. Many actresses had even expressed their heartfelt desire for Dharmendra, but do you know who Dharmendra’s first love was? Dharmendra had narrated the story of his first innocent love in a TV reality show with Salman Khan, which we will show you in this video. In this story, Dharmendra recited a Shayari of his innocent love, reminding of his childhood.
Maanik Mahna has vivid memories of Meena Kumari’s death. The businessman was only six years old when the actor died from liver failure on March 31, 1972, but he remembers the shocked reactions of his family in Delhi.
“The news had spread like wildfire – they discussed whether she did 77 films or 100 films,” Mahna recalled. A bus was organised to transport grieving fans from the neighbourhood to a theatre to watch her final film Pakeezah, which had been released a few weeks before her death, Mahna said.
