Meena Kumari was revered as a goddess of love and affection. Unfortunately, she had to endure a great deal of pain and suffering in her real life. A passionate poetess and a talented actress passed away at a young age.
The tragic queen of Hindi film was afflicted by tragedy. 😭

Meena Kumari
She carved her name on millions of hearts, which no one will erase as long as we live! ❤️⭐️❤️
Born on August 1, 1933, in Bombay, she was the second child to Ali Bux, hailing from Punjab and Iqbal Begum, originally from Calcutta.
She was named “Mahjabeen”, meaning “forehead of the moon”. Both her parents had careers as struggling stage artists.
According to a popular Bollywood legend, Meena’s father had left her at the door of an orphanage as a child. After some time, he returned to fetch the baby and, to his shock, he found ants crawling all over her body. This was one of those incidents that remained in her subconscious mind.💔
A timeless beauty, here we pay tribute to her elegance and undoubtedly to her acting and poetry skills.
She reined the Indian film industry for 30 years and closed her eyes at the age of 40. Even today, Meena Kumari’s name evokes so many sentiments – melodrama, tragedy, pain, sacrifice, sorrow, loneliness and sufferings. Her unhappiness was appreciated in each role she played in many movies.
Not only was she an actress par excellence but also a poetess. She recorded some of her gems under the guidance of iconic music director Khayyam under the pen name “NAAZ.”
She played the “damsel in distress” to perfection! Her beautiful eyes, full of pain, and her deep voice, dipped in sadness, created an effect that established her as an irreplaceable and unique actress.
Meena Kumari started her career at the age of 4 and was taken to the studios to supplement her family’s income. In 1939, she started as a child actor in the movie Leather Face and soon became a popular child artiste.
Director Vijay Bhatt rechristened Mahjabeen as “Baby Meena”. Given her early start, she had no formal schooling but was fluent in many languages and a voracious reader.
She never went to school in any meaningful sense, and her education was the result of private tuition, and more significantly, the result of individual interest; in every sense, she was self-educated.👏
It is said that Meena Kumari never travelled to outdoor locations without her books and her favourite set of pens and papers. After pack up, she usually spent her time in her room jotting her thoughts on paper, and when she got exhausted, she went down for a stroll in the hotel garden because she liked watching the moon.
The film that won her fame and also almost killed by drowning was Vijay Bhatt’s Film Baiju Bawra in 1952. From here on, there was no looking back for Meena Kumari. In years to come, Meena Kumari won four Filmfare Awards in the Best Actress category and was the recipient of the inaugural Filmfare Awards (1954), Best Actress Award for Baiju Bawra and had a consecutive win in the second Filmfare Awards (1955) for Parineeta. Meena Kumari made history at the 10th Filmfare (1963) by receiving all of the nominations for Best Actress and won for her performance in Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam.
She was the only actress in Hindi cinema to have been nominated thrice for the Best Actress award in the same year. She appeared at Filmfare award functions in her trademark white sarees and recited her own or Faiz’s ghazals on such occasions.
Prominent actors like Dilip Kumar, Nargis, Madhubala, Pradeep Kumar, Raj Kumar, and many more were all great admirers of Meena Kamari’s talent.
Music maestro Naushad Ali found her to be a quintessential actress with a golden voice. Her voice had a definite metallic tinge and was perfectly suited for reciting Ghazals and Nazms that she often did.
Eminent filmmaker Satyajit Ray described Kumari as “undoubtedly an actress of the highest calibre”. Legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar mentioned that Menna Kumari was one of her favourite actresses, and her voice suited her the most.
If you ask me to define her career as well as her life, I would describe it by those two stanzas from one of her poem, “Tumhara naam hai, yaa aasmaan nazaroun mein smiat gaya mera gham-ghasta zidagi ki tarha. And the other one ……….. “Tum kya karoge sun kar mujhse meri kahani, Be luft zindagi ke kisse hain pheeke pheeke”. And everything else that comes in between.❤️
Here is one of her greatest songs ---
One of my favourite actors, she was simply fabulous. The personification of grace, beauty, brains and a fantastic being. 😳
Her subtle expressions in Piya aiso jeeya mein samayi gayo re
The yearning in mausam hai aashiqana
Iconic dance performance in Inhi logon ne..
