Madhubala: a goddess of the screen unlucky in matters of heart | Bollywood

With Dilip Kumar in Tarana. 19659006] If Madhubala and Dilip Kumar were married, it would have been a perfect marriage. She was beautiful and lively, he was intense and introverted; both were extremely successful movie stars.

Dilip and Madhubala met for the first time on Tarana's 1951 film shootings and love blossomed between the two. The attraction would have been electric too because as people, they were very different. They then worked together in three other films – Sangdil, Amar and one of the most iconic films of all time, K Asif's Mughal-e-Azam. The couple was deeply in love and even engaged. It is said that it was Madhubala's father, Ataullah Khan, who opposed the match.

Dilip Kumar, the only great love of his life

Dilip Kumar addressed these issues in his autobiography, Dilip Kumar: Substance and Shadow. Times Now, quoting this book, writes: "Was I in love with Madhubala as reported by newspapers and magazines at that time? In response to this question repeatedly repeated directly from the horse's mouth, I must confess that I was drawn to it both as a beautiful star and as a person possessing some of the attributes that I had hoped for find in a woman of that time. age and time. Spectators admired our badociation in Tarana and our working relationship was warm and cordial. As I said earlier, she was very lively and lively and, as such, she could pull me out of my shyness and reluctance without effort. She filled a void that needed to be filled – not by a brilliant woman, but by a living woman, whose vivacity and charm was the ideal panacea for the wound that took its time to heal. "

Madhubala and Dilip Kumar's relationship ended on a sour note."

Both were visibly in love.Shammi Kapoor, who gave evidence in an interview at Rediff.com , spoke about the time when he had witnessed it in person. "She was very much in love with Dilip Kumar, so he was with her, I remember that during the making of the Naqab at Prabhat Talkies in Poona, he was He would often go to Bombay to see her, and if she turned she would stay away from the "field" of the camera and watch her play without disturbing her. "

However, in 1956-1957 the situation had become lousy The last nail in the coffin was the Naya Daur trial, when Dilip Kumar testified for the director BR Chopra against Madhubala and his father.

According to a report to Pinkvilla, BR Chopra signed Madhubala and Dilip Kumar for Naya Daur (1957) and demanded that both artists be present at filming in Gwalior for 40 days. Fearing for the safety of his daughter, Madhubala's father asked the producers to shoot the film in studios in Mumbai, which BR Chopra did not accept. Madhubala was eventually replaced by Vyajayantimala. Ataullah Khan sued Chopra for dishonouring the contract. It is in this case that Dilip sided with Chopra.

Did Ataullah Khan really oppose the marriage of his daughter to Dilip Kumar? Speaking of which, Dilip refuted the claims that Madhubala's father was against the match. According to Dilip, it was his desire to create a commercial venture from the proposed marriage that was a compromise. At that time, Ataullah Khan owned a film production company and wanted Madhubala and Dilip to work under his banner, an unacceptable term for Dilip. Speaking of which, he wrote: "I felt that Asif was seriously trying to remedy the situation for her when the situation started to deteriorate, thanks to her father's attempt to transform the marriage. considered as a commercial enterprise. The result was that, halfway to the production of Mughal-e-Azam, we did not even talk to each other. The clbadic scene with the feather between our lips, which set fire to millions of fantasies, was turned when we stopped completely, even greeting each other. In all fairness, it should be included in the annals of the history of cinema as a tribute to the artistic talent of two committed actors, respectful of personal differences and perfectly achieving the vision of the director of a moment of sensitive projection, seizing and sensual on the screen. 19659004] Some reports suggest that it was the ego that ended up being between the two. Madhubala's youngest sister, Madhur Brij Bhushan, speaking to Filmfare, said that during telephone conversations he would tell her to leave her father and she would insist that he apologize to his father. "They had conversations over the phone trying to repair. He did not stop saying, "Leave your father and I will marry you". She said, "I'm going to marry, but I'm coming home, I'm sorry and I'm hugging him." "

By the end of the 1950s, their affair was over.

It is said that Madhubala rebounded at the recovery involved in Kishore Kumar and, according to a report from Pinkvilla, their liaison continued throughout of the creation of Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi and Half Ticket Some reports suggest that Kishore Kumar's animated personality had relieved her, given the pain and rejection she experienced with Dilip Kumar. Kishore was divorcing himself with his wife Ruma Devi Guha Thakurta, actress and singer of the time, after his divorce, the two married in 1960, despite His father, too, would not have liked the match, but he had lost the will to oppose it.

His marriage with Kishore Kumar was hardly happy.

It is alleged that she was also suffering from a lung problem. pulmonary pressure of the lungs, which made her cough all the time. He had to be given oxygen every four or five hours. It is alleged that Kishore was aware of his condition, but the severity of his illness had never struck him before. After their return, things were never normal.

With Premnath in Badal

What many people do not know, is that his first big love story was not Dilip Kumar but the actor Premnath, maternal uncle of Rishi Kapoor. They were in love and wanted to get married. They broke up when he asked her to convert and she refused. This was even confirmed by his sister Madhur Brij Bhushan in an interview with Filmfare: "Apa fell in love with Premnath. The relationship lasted six months. It broke out for reasons of religion. He asked her to convert and she refused.

However, Madhubala 's love life and life in general arouse a lot of interest and have inspired many biographies, the most recent being that of journalist Mohan Deep, who apparently would have shown him poor. light. According to an article on Outlook in the book, The Mystery and Mystique of Madhubala by Mohan Deep claimed that Madhubala did not have a long line of lovers. The report said, "In fact, the preface itself sets the tone for the rest of the book:" She was a woman possessed. Haunted by her own insecurities until the end. She loved men. And lost them.

Mohan Deep projected Madhubala as extremely seductive and seductive

Of course, the book was heavily criticized by many veterans of the industry, but mostly by the remaining members of his family. Quoted by Outlook, quoted by Madhur, reacted angrily: "Kidar Sharma and Mohan Sinha were old enough to be his father; Kamal Amrohi was a married man and, given the economic situation, how could she, the only winning member of our family, offer her 9 Rs lakh? Premnath was in love with her, but interreligious marriages were taboo at that time; Pradeep Kumar has never been involved with it. Yes, she loved Dilip Kumar for eight long years and wanted to marry her, but after all went wrong with Naya Daur, the relationship ended. Tell me, if Premnath and Dilip Kumar were angry at her, why were they present at her funeral? "
