Video Title: Gomti Ke Kinare 1972pujniyeh Atmaon Koh Samarpith Video Duration: 10:47 From: MamtaRangoonDhody Category: People and Blogs meena kumari or mahjabeen bano 1 august 1932 - 31 march 1972, was an indian movie actress and poetess. she is regarded as one of the most prominent actresses to have appeared on the screens of hindi cinema. during a career spanning 30 years from her childhood to her death, she starred in more than ninety films, many of which have achieved clic and cult status today.
kumari gained a reputation for playing grief-stricken and tragic roles, and her performances have been praised and reminisced throughout the years. meena kumari gained fame with her role as a heroine in vijay bhatt's baiju bawra 1952. this heroine always negated herself for the material and spiritual advancement of the man she loved and was even willing to annihilate herself to provide him the experience of pain so that his music would be enriched. she became the first actress to win the filmfare best actress award in 1953 for this performance.
meena kumari highly successfully played the roles of a suffering woman in parineeta 1953, daera 1953, ek hi raasta 1956, sharda 1957, and dil apna aur preet parayi 1960. though she cultivated the image of a tragedienne, she also performed commendably in a few light-hearted movies like azaad 1955, miss mary 1957, shararat 1959, and kohinoor 1960.pakeezah, starring kumari and directed by her ex-husband kamal amrohi, took 14 years to reach the silver screen. first planned by amrohi in 1958, the film went on the studio floors in 1964, but the shooting came to a standstill after their separation in march 1964, when it was more than halfway complete.5 in 1969, sunil dutt and nargis previewed some reels of the shelved film and convinced the estranged amrohi and kumari to complete it.1 hindustan times described the meeting which dutt had organised between the two:
not much was said, but streams of tears were shed... amrohi greeted her with a token payment of a gold guinea and the promise that hed make her look as beautiful as the day she had started the film.5
gravelly ill, kumari was determined to complete the film and, well aware of the limited time left for her to live, went out of her way to complete it at the earliest. despite her rapidly deteriorating health, she gave the finishing touches to her performance. initially, after its release in february 1972, pakeezah opened to a lukewarm response from the public however, after meena kumari's death less than two months later, people flocked to see it, making it a major box-office success. the film has since gained a cult and clic status, and kumari's performance as a golden-hearted lucknow prosute drew major praise. she posthumously received her twelfth and last filmfare nomination.
throughout her life, kumari had a love-hate relationship with movies, and besides being a top-notch actress, she was a talented poetess, and recorded a disc of her urdu poems, i write, i recite with music by khayyam.

three weeks after the release of pakeezah, meena kumari became seriously ill, and died on 31 march 1972 of cirrhosis of the liver.
