One wonders if she were not Nutan's
little sister if Tanuja would have ever been in Bollywood?
She was not classically beautiful with her Barbara Striesand
nose and darker than your average Bollywood starlet complexion.
Nor was Tanuja especially talented or could she really dance
very well. But then there is something about Tanuja something
fresh and infectious, endearing. She is so darn cute, that's
it. She bounces and pouts and makes girly faces, thoroughly
modern 70s girly faces. Tanuja was that rich father's spoilt
daughter who followed her headstrong heart that you see in so many
Bolywood films of the late 60s and 70s. She had that part down pat. And every rich
spoilt daughter who follows her headstrong heart in every
Bollywood film that followed Tanuja's lead owes a bit of their
characterization to her.
