Sabiha Khanum – Santosh Kumar
A remarkable nobility of looks and manners marked the screen presence of Santosh Kumar. When he met the screen queen of the 1950s, Sabiha, who was known for her vivacity and beauty, it was a rare combination that lit up the screen. They first worked together in the first film Santosh did in Pakistan, which ...
Noor Jehan – Aslam Pervaiz
The prince ruled the dreamy kingdom of the films, and the nightingale sang on till the day she was weighed down with the eternal sleep. The word will remember Aslam Parveiz as the villain in flannelled slacks and a top hat perched soberly on the forehead. But the man started off as the Prince charming ...
Bina Roy – Premnath
Premnath was a dashing young man, slim, smart and handsome. He was liked by cinegoers in films like Sagai, Buzdil, Naujawan, Barsat, Saqi, Dard-e-Dil, in which he appeared as a hero opposite top-ranking heroines of those days.

Gregory Peck – Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday
It was the perfect fairy tale: A princess escapes from her keepers and finds love with a commoner during a twenty-four-hour tour of Rome. And even if they couldn’t share a final clinch, they had changed each other deeply, each coming out of the relationship more mature, better able to face the adult challenges of ...
Greta Garbo – Robert Taylor in Camille
Camille, the story of a young innocent whose love transforms a kept woman, was almost a century old when MGM released it in 1937, but the once-in-a-lifetime casting of Greta Garbo and Robert Taylor made it seem new. Their romantic scenes marked the definitive meeting of female experience and male naïveté, both on- and offscreen. ...
Nameless Silence – Meena Kumari’s Poem
Alone, in a limitless stretch of loneliness Caught in confused webs of fate, Am I. Again the crossroads, again a nameless silence, Misty vision, deep quiet Conscience donning the garb of apathy. Life, an empty question, A hushed wonder, the only answer. Poem by Meena Kumari – Sketch and Translations (from the Urdu) by Fatima ...
My Past – Meena Kumari’s Poem
My past My loneliness, a blind abyss Filling my breath Ticking in my pulse Etched deep into time By myriad passing moments. My blood crying for a cupped hand Seeking a companion Seeking identity Seeking completeness. My loneliness Your wounds are my sores Your pangs my sighs. You, a deserted mosque, I, your prayer call ...
Mute Love – Meena Kumari’s Poem
Flame Clothed in ashes, Corpse of ice In a coffin of lava, Mute love Wrapped in notoriety. Sacred drops Of dirty tears Crowding the Holy river. A din rising noiselessly A paradise startled. Waiting silence. Limits on limitless feelings. Vagabond soul, wandering Seeking the valley of lights Facing the truth at every bend. One truth ...
Torn Night – Meena Kumari’s Poem
Broken bits of day, torn rays of night Doled out day and night. Ears tuned to deeps of the heart Hear only a laughter Ringing with one more defeat. Wounds, defeats, turmoil Constant companions of my heart. Poem by Meena Kumari – Sketch and Translations (from the Urdu) by Fatima Ahmed
Meena Kumari & Kamal Amrohi
Three days after Meena Kumari’s death we met Kamal Amrohi at his house, “Rembrandt,” on Pali Hill. The place wore a gloomy look. Kamal Amrohi sat engrossed, listening to the tape-recorded voice of Meena Kumari. It was an old sponsored program, broadcast over Radio Ceylon in 1958, where Meena Kumari talked enthusiastically on her first ...
