Seems even the songs you mentioned above are all mellifluous. Not to speak of those well-known movies. Of course I don't remember seeing those movies except SHIN SHINAKI BUBALA BOO as a very small kid at the Imperial Theatre or perhaps the Swatik. But don't remember a thing from it. The title song of this movie I do remember the line. I wonder whether this was a mythical movie and whether the swashbuckling RANJAN was her hero. I specially asked for REHANA's info since my dad had informed me that he had purchased the house of Rehana before her migration to Pakistan. NASIR. NASIR

NARGIS ( June 1 1929 - 3 May 1981)
Nargis was one of the Greatest Indian Actresses of all times...She is undoubtedly one of the most powerful actresses in Indian cinema.... She was the daughter of Mohanbabu, a mohyaul brahmin from Rawalpindi, Pakistan and Jaddanbhai, who was a singer/actress.... Made her debut in 1935 in Talash e haq, and her first adult role was in Mehboob khan's 'Taqdeer' in 1943, opposite Motilal.Then came 'Humayun' and with ' Andaaz' and later 'Barsat' in 1949 she became a superstar.   With Dilip Kumar and Cuckoo in "Andaz"  Nargis appeared in numerous movies with all the top leading actors Andaaz,Mela, Jogan,Babul and Deedar with Dilip Kumar... Off screen her affair with the already married Raj Kapoorwas a matching of soul and spirit....After Awaara in 1951 she began to work exclusively with him...they did Aag Beawafaa,Shri 420, and Chori Chori....She is supposed to have turned down the role of 'Aan'.. The passion they had for each other poured out on the screen as they romanced each other in several films..Nargis even went and met the then Home Minister Morarji desai to try and get him to sanction a marriage between her and Raj kapoor.The affair was doomed, as Raj kapoor never wanted to divorce his wife..By 1956 the pair had broken up......She however did a special appearence in his 'Jagte Raho' in 1956.. At the height of their romnce....Raj kapoor, Nargis in Shri 420...  Raj kapoor Nargis in 'Awaara'...  With raj kapoor and Dilip kumar in 'Andaaz  With Raj Kapoor out of her life , Mehbob Khan offered her his Magnum opus " Mother India" in 1957. Mother India is considered to be the ultimate tribute to Indian Womanhood! It was nominated for the Oscar, but lost by a solitary vote to Fellini's Nights of Caberia While shooting for the film she was trapped amidst lit haystacks, was rescued by Sunil Dutt who was playing her rebellious son in the film....They fell in love during the making of the movie and married in 1958.... They have 3 children actor Sanjay Dutt, Priya and Anju...Nargis gave up acting after her marriage.... She came back with a Brilliant performance in 'Raat aur Din' expertly playing a woman with split personality winning the National award for the same in 1964.. Mother India.....some images...       Her memorable films were Mela Anokha pyar Aag Lahore Barsaat Andaz Pyar Meena bazar Jogan Bewafa Aashiana Anhonee Deedar Amber Shikast Angaarey Shri 420 Jagte Raho Chori chori Lajwanti Ghar Sansar Adaalat Mother India Raat aur Din.... She was the recipient of the Urvashy award the highest honour that can be conferred on a movie actress in India. She was the first film personality to be conferred the 'Padmashri' and she was the first film personality to be given a Rajya sabha seat in parliament.. She has been honoured as the Best Artiste of the Millenium....... Nargis died of Pancreatic cancer in 1981..... Attached image(s)

[/quote] Nasir,Are you still in posession of that house?? [/quote] Not today. The fact is that he used to move a lot in and around Bombay itself. But during that period he had many filmy friends and I was a very small kid. Now since you have come up with Nargis..I'll disclose something in that section too. NASIR. NASIR

I had seen Nargis closely for fleeting moments as a kid at a time when her romance with Sunil Dutt was flowering. (That would be 1957 or so). We were at that time staying at Napean Sea Road, Bombay. In my hazy memory I remember to have seen Sunil Dutt with a black Fiat and looked so dashing and handsome no doubt.
In my opinion, the break-up of RK-Nargis alliance was for the betterment of Nargis: She found true love in Sunil Dutt who had risked his life to save hers during the shooting of MOTHER INDIA - the episode that everyone knows about. It was otherwise too very courageous of Sunil Dutt to marry her since after having played the role of her son. That time some narrow-minded people did not fail to criticise him for playing the role of a son and then marrying her. But this was the happiest of star-couples. NASIR. NASIR

Sunil dutt was a gentleman actor, i like watching his films, Humraaz, Waqt, Mera saaya and Chaaya are the few i have seen.........they must have been very happy together......and Nargis was the kind of person one looked upto, there was more to her than being just an actress....

Yes, Nargis was no snob and didn't have airs despite her very high standing in the film industry. Sunil Dutt was a doting husband. And yes, as you stated, he was a gentleman actor. That quality of his did not diminish even in his political field. Even as an MLA from Bandra to Versova area in Mumbai he was accessible to ordinary folks and did actual work for their cause. I used to attend his meetings in the playground of the VERSOVA WELFARE SCHOOL at 7 Bungalows, Mumbai where I had been then staying. NASIR. NASIR
