Actress. She was a major Bollywood star during the 1970s and 80s and appeared in over 50 films during her short but extremely successful film career. She was one of the first Indian actresses to openly flaunt her sexuality, and broke many of the taboos of Hindi films. Unfortunately, she died alone, forgotten by those who worked with her during her heyday. She withdrew from the public life as her mental illness took over her life. She converted to Christianity toward the end of her life. (bio by: Noni)
