Today is love day! On the occasion of Pranay Diwas, today we will talk about a popular actress. Madhubala! Who does not hear this name? We have a special reason to discuss Bollywood's evergreen actress Madhubala today. That is his birthday. How was the life of Madhubala, who was born on the day of love? Let's look at his life.

Madhubala, born in 1933, was not Madhubala at first. Growing up as Mumtaz Begum, she was given this name by Queen Devi. Madhubala played her first film as Baby Mumtaz. She has also sung a song in the film called 'Vasant', which she played as a child artist at the age of 9. Madhubala, who stepped into films from Vasant, acted in more than 73 films in her lifetime.

Now let's talk about the environment in which Madhubala lived. It was not easy for women to enter the cinema industry in India at that time. On top of that, the Islamic community, which values ​​that women should be covered with a burqa, still prefers to see other people's daughters in the cinema world, but they have not developed enough of a mentality to see their own daughters . And a century ago, it was rare for Indian cinema to have talented actresses. Despite this, it cannot be denied that Indian cinema has been successful in introducing one-of-a-kind actresses. Well, behind this success there are stories of struggle. At least, it certainly wasn't as easy as it is now.

In such a rare environment, there was only one rule to prevent potential actresses from returning to cinema - high salary! Even if we talk about Madhubala's entry into cinema, her father initially refused. However, after being offered a better salary, he moved from Delhi to Bombay, now known as Mumbai, for his daughter's career. Thus, because of the narrow society, something was good. The environment in which Madhubala lived at least helped the actresses financially from the start.

Madhubala, the highest paid actress of her time, was also called the 'Venus of Indian Cinema' due to her sheer beauty and acting. The talk of Madhubala's beauty and acting ability was spread not only in India but also internationally.

Greek singer Stelios Kazantidis wrote and sang a song named after him. That song can still be found on the internet. The song addressed to Madhubala was such a hit in its time that the Greek singers Ana Vici and Antonis Remos sang the same song in the name of Madhubala even on the occasion of the Olympic closing ceremony in 2004 in Athens, the capital of Greece. The song was performed in front of over 70,000 live audiences. It is said that 52.6 million viewers from China alone joined and watched the performance live.

Now let's go back to Madhubala's personal life. Keeping dogs was his great hobby. Throughout her life, Madhubala adopted 18 dogs. Also, he was equally interested in social service. She continued to actively participate in charity campaigns until her death. She kept giving financial support to children, sick and needy.

But, sadly, Madhubala, who was born with a hole in her heart, was as happy as we see her on the screen, but her life was as painful as it was. Due to illness, she used to faint even in the middle of shooting. He was bleeding from his nose and mouth. In the last period of his life, he had to take oxygen and a private doctor along with him.

Because of the disease, he had to take a private doctor with him even on his honeymoon. If there was a small break, who would want to break up their new marriage? Even when she was traveling to London with her hero-singer husband Kishore Kumar, Madhubala shadowed her doctor.

Madhubala grew up surrounded by her father's love. Not only the father's love, but also the strict control of the father in Madhubala's life. Which movie will play for how long? Which do not play? Who to work with? Who wouldn't? All such decisions of Madhubala used to be made by her father Atullah Khan. The extent of her father's control over her, she would not even be allowed to go out except during recess. Madhubala was not allowed to go out even for the interview.

It is also said that the love relationship with Dilip Kumar for 7-7 years broke up because of his father. The problem between his father and Dilip Kumar reached the court. For this reason, he always had to keep a distance with Dilip Kumar and finally the situation came up between them.

However, his first love was different. Beyond the film world. Children who spent childhood together - Latif! Everyone has a Latif i.e. first love in their life which is very innocent and selfless. And even then, this love is left unfinished. Madhubala's childhood love Latif also left Delhi when she came to Bombay for good to pursue a career in cinema. It is said that Madhubala had left Latif with a 'red rose' as a gift during her migration. Latif also left the red rose that he kept as a sign and returned one day - to Madhubala's grave!

Madhubala, who breathed her last in 1969, died at the young age of 36. Happy Birthday to Madhubala who was born on Love Day!
