Shaikh Mukhtar
He was Bollywood‘s first Hunk – one who would have put today‘s WWF hulks to shame. Exceptionally tall and frighteningly hefty, he was endowed with an immense physique. His face was a roadmap of crisscrossing muscles. A sharp jaw line added to the dimensions of his rock-hard face. Hardly ‘star‘ material compared to the Hrithiks ...
Nasreen
Real name Zarina Agha, Nasreen was the daughter of actress Anwari and actor/music-director Rafique Ghaznavi, and mother of singing-star Salma Agha. She was cast as the leading lady in two pre-partition films Shahjehan (1946) and Ek Rooz (1947). She migrated to Pakistan after partition and married a wealthy carpet dealer in Karachi. One of her ...
Nina

After the success of the film, she left her husband Mohsin Abdullah and married W.Z. Ahmed. She worked in many of her husband’s home productions under the banner of Shalimar Pictures. After partition, the couple ...
Rattan Kumar
Rattan Kumar, along with Baby Tabassum and Baby Naaz, was the most sought-after child-star of Bombay Cinema. Rattan would inevitably bag the coveted role whenever the demands of the script called for the hero’s childhood to be shown on screen. As such, Rattan played the childhood roles for quite a few important actors of India, ...

Sheila Ramani
Sheila Ramani, a forgotten name today, but most of us still remember her in Navketan’s Taxi Driver (1954) where she was cast as Anglo-Indian club Dancer – Sylvie. Sheila Ramani was introduced by Chetan Anand to Hindi films, which explains her association with Navketan. She was born in Sindh, and one of the few Sindhi ...
Suraiya (1929-2004)
The last of Hindi cinema’s illustrious singer-actresses, Suraiya set a tradition that remains unrivalled and that largely ended with her reign at the top. Her acting style was a charming blend of dialogues and gestures, and was strongly reminiscent of the Muslim feudal era. Born in Lahore (now in Pakistan), Suraiya Jamal Sheikh began her ...
Mukesh
A popular playback singer, Mukesh was born Mukesh Chand Mathur. He was initiated into films as an actor by his cousin Motilal. Mukesh’s first song was a ghazal, ‘Dil bujha to phasl-e-bahaar kya’ composed by Ashok Ghosh for the film Nirdosh where he co-starred with Nalini Jaywant. He went on to act and sing in ...
Kishore Kumar
A multi-faceted genius, Kishore Kumar was a producer, director, lyricist, singer, music director, and actor. However, it is as a playback singer that he is best remembered. Kishore Kumar’s untrained yet deep and melodious voice lent itself to songs of varied genres — from the Aromantic Mere dil mein aaj kya hai (Daag) to the ...
Charlie
‘Palat Tera dhyan kidhar hai” – it was a typical honk of the champion comic of the pre-Partition Indian cinema. Noor Mohammad Charlie made a great splash in the sea of the Indian cine kingdom, when he entered the foray with his own zany jokes and word variations, apart from his pet phrases and lingual ...
