Meena Kumari

Meena Kumari (1 August 1932 – 31 March 1972), born Mahjabeen Bano, was an

Indian movie actress and poetess. She is regarded as one of the most prominent

actresses to have appeared on the screens of Hindi Cinema. During a career

spanning 30 years from her childhood to her death, she starred in more than ninety

films, many of which have achieved classic and cult status today.

Kumari gained a reputation for playing grief-stricken and tragic roles, and her

performances have been praised and reminisced throughout the years. Like one

of her best-known roles, Chhoti Bahu, in Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962), Kumari

became addicted to alcohol. Her life and prosperous career were marred by heavy

drinking, troubled relationships, an ensuing deteriorating health, and her death from

liver cirrhosis in 1972.

Kumari is often cited by media and literary sources as "The Tragedy Queen", both

for her frequent portrayal of sorrowful and dramatic roles in her films and her real-life

story Meena Kumari was the third daughter of Ali Baksh and Iqbal Begum; Khursheed

and Madhu were her two elder sisters. At the time of her birth, her parents were

unable to pay the fees of Dr. Gadre, who had delivered her, so her father left

her at a Muslim orphanage, however, he picked her up after a few hours.

Her father, a Shia Muslim, was a veteran of Parsi theater, played harmonium,

taught music, and wrote Urdu poetry. He played small roles in films like Id Ka

Chand and composed music for films like Shahi Lutere.

Her mother was the second wife of Ali Baksh. Before meeting and then marrying

Ali Baksh, she was a stage actress and dancer, under the stage name, Kamini

and belonged to the well known Tagore family of Bengal.

When Mahjabeen was born, Ali Bakhsh aspired to get roles as an actor in

Rooptara Studios. At the urging of his wife, he got Mahjabeen too into movies

despite her protestations of wanting to go to school. Young Mahjabeen is said

to have said, "I do not want to work in movies; I want to go to school, and learn

like other children."

As Mahjabeen embarked on her acting career at the age of 7, she was renamed

Baby Meena. Farzand-e-Watan or Leatherface (1939) was her first movie, which

was directed for Prakash Studios by Vijay Bhatt. She became practically the sole

breadwinner of her family during the 1940s. Her early adult acting, under the name

Meena Kumari, was mainly in mythological movies like Veer Ghatotkach (1949),

Shri Ganesh Mahima (1950), and fantasy movies like Alladin and The Wonderful

Lamp (1952).
