Madhubala has become an icon, she is celebrated as the single most beautiful actress Hindi cinema has ever produced. In an industry seeped in melodrama and grand histrionics such a title does not come without a price. She embodied the image of beauty and a life right out of a Bollywood script.

"Born in abject poverty, the 5th of 11 children, Madhubala began life in the film world as a child star, Baby Mumtaz, in films like Bombay Talkies Basant (1942). It was Kidar Sharma who gave her a break as heroine opposite Raj Kapoor in Neel Kamal (1947). However it was with the Bombay Talkies suspense thriller Mahal (1949) that Madhubala became a star.' (upperstall,com) The fact was that her father eager to make ends meet pushed his daughter into acting.

 

 

 

 

 

 Madhubala was involved in one of the most celebrated tragic real life film romances of Indian film. Madly in love with each other Dilip Kumar and Madhubala were kept from marrying because of the objections of Madhubala's father. Her father even kept Madhubala from co-staring in a film with Dilip that ended in a court case for breach of contract to the films producers. The legend goes that Dilip Kumar exclaimed on the witness stand, "I shall love her till the day she dies". Madhubala eventually married Kisore Kumar and Dilip a crushed man slipped into alcohol and eventually married Saira Banu.
