Born in 1929 to A, an actress and director, her real
name was Fatima. She began her career opposite
Motilal in the film Taqdeer under the name B in
1944. The film maker C gave her this break and
later coined a new name for her D, derived from
the Persian for a flower that derives its name in
turn from the Greek story of E, who turned into a
flower, according to some. In the 1950s, her name
became inextricably linked with F, and she also
figured in the logo associated with F’s films. D
eventually married G, who played her son in the
film H. Their romance began when G saved her
from a fire during the shooting of H—an event
that also figures in the recent film I.

cried to him chokingly, held out her snowy slender arms to him to come, to feel
his lips laid on her white brow, the cry of a young girl’s love, a little strangled
cry, wrung from her, that cry that has rung through the ages. And then a rocket
sprang and bang shot blind blank and O! then the Roman candle burst and it was
like a sigh of O! and everyone cried O! O! in raptures and it gushed out of it a
stream of rain gold hair threads and they shed and ah! they were all greeny dewy
