Childhood photos of actors and actresses often become viral on social media and recently, a nostalgic snapshot of an acclaimed Indian actress has captured the internet’s attention. The adorable childhood picture has intrigued online users who struggled to recognise the legendary actress in her early years. Can you guess who’s this?
Yes, you guessed it right. It is none other than Indian icon Vyjayanthimala.
Vyjayanthimala, known for her exceptional acting skills and contributions to Indian cinema with successful films like Sangam and Sadhna, began her journey in Tamil cinema before making a significant impact in Hindi cinema during the 50s and 60s. The actress was recently honoured with the Padma Vibhushan, the second-highest civilian award in India, on the eve of Republic Day.
Beyond her acting prowess, Vyjayanthimala received acclaim for her exceptional dancing skills. A performance worth noting is her dance in the song Main Ka Karu Raam Mujhe Budha Mil Gaya from the film Sangam, directed by Raj Kapoor. This timeless number, sung by Lata Mangeshkar and composed by Jaikishan Dayabhai Panchal and Shankar Singh Raghuvanshi, showcases Vyjayanthimala’s grace as the female lead Radha.
In the film Jewel Thief, directed by Vijay Anand, Vyjayanthimala’s dance in a song sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Bhupinder Singh gained massive appreciation from the audience. Sachin Dev Burman composed the song and Majrooh Sultanpuri penned the lyrics, adding to the timeless allure of Vyjayanthimala’s performances.
Vyjayanthimala married Dr Chamanlal Bali, a doctor who came to treat her during an illness while shooting near Dal Lake. Their love story faced challenges, including Dr Bali’s divorce from his first wife. The couple embraced parenthood with a son named Suchindra Bali. After her husband’s demise, Vyjayanthimala fought a legal battle for his estates, claiming they were bequeathed to her son Suchindra Bali.
