Shyama on Life in Films

Sunehri Yaadein's post on the lovely Shayama, most famous for her roles in Aar Paar and Barsaat Ki Raat (the first film I saw her in, and I so wanted her to get the man but alas she was upstaged by Madhubala) made me dig out this filmfare magazine (I'm slowly building up a huge collection, they seem to come in handy for references) interview she gave late last year reminiscing about her filmi years, while also dishing some juicy gossip about her co stars, Enjoy!!! And here's a lovely song picturised on her and Guru Dutt from the movie Aar Paar

Meena Kumari According to her Loved Ones

Following my discussion with Avdi on Meena Kumari's inability to have Children, i remember reading an article where her step son Tajdar Amrohi notes

"People said that Baba didn't let Choti Amni have Children but then how did she have three miscarriages- of which two were abortions?"

Of course i have no idea if its true or not but i really enjoyed reading the article by Meena's near & dear ones including an Ex Lover, her friend and her step son, and as much as i avoid delving into the private lives of my favourite stars, this article was a great read, hence i thought i'd share with you all, especially the Meena Kumari fans, so enjoy the scans below (Click on the links below each scanned page to read the pages clearly)
