Kamal Amrohi

Meena Kumari's life, marked by immense success and deep personal struggles, ended tragically at 38 due to alcohol addiction. Nargis's heartfelt tribute underscored her grief and loss. Meena’s intense love for Dharmendra and her tumultuous marriage with Kamal Amrohi highlighted the loneliness and struggles behind her fame.

Kangana Ranaut reveals Meena Kumari designed her iconic costumes in 'Pakeezah'. Ranaut also highlights society's tendency to objectify women and overlook their intellect. Kangana is working on an untitled drama with R Madhavan, set to release soon. She also has several upcoming projects including 'The Legend of Didda', 'Bharat Bhagya Vidhata', and 'Sita: The Incarnation'.

Kamal Amrohi's son Tajdar Amrohi is keen on seeing a biopic on his father and Chhoti Ammi, Meena Kumari come to fruition. But staging such an ambitious project is not easy. Tajdar revealed to ETimes, “It’s difficult because today there are casting directors. Kamal Amrohi and Meena Kumari are likely to be the central characters in the film. We will send their photographs to the casting directors. Now the policy has changed. Now directors and producers don’t find actors. It is the casting directors who do that.”

To remember late Kamal Amrohi, Kaifi Azmi and Meena Kumari, the Indian Heritage & Health Care Centre, recently organised Dayar-e-Ishq, at the India International Centre.
