Cinemaazi expresses deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of beloved actress Shashikala who passed away today in Mumbai. Known for several acclaimed supporting roles through the 60s and 70s, she was 88 when she breathed her last. May she rest in peace.
Happy Birthday, Prema Narayan! From English teacher, to model, to beauty pageant winner, to film sensation, it has been an eventful journey for the Kalimpong-hailing beauty who was born this day, 4 April in 1955. Stepping into films, she won attention for her performance in films such as Maa Bahen Aur Biwi (1973) and Manzilein Aur Bhi Hain (1973). Making waves as a dancer, vamp and in supporting roles, she is known for films like Umrao Jaan (1981), Mangalsutra (1981) and Pataal Bhairavi (1985). She also garnered a Filmfare Award Best Supporting Actress nomination for her performance in Amanush (1975), which marked a distinct change from her usual westernized roles. She was last seen on screen in Yeh Basti Badmashon Ki (1999). Married to Rajiv, a lawyer, she is mother to two sons.
