Sharmila Tagore, one of the most amazing actors of the past, is a force to be reckoned with in the business. In addition to her extraordinary talent, the mother of three has lived a life full of grace, warmth, and charisma. She has chosen the less travelled path and triumphed at every turn, both in her personal and professional life. As the legendary Kashmir Ki Kali celebrates her 78th birthday today, let’s take a look at some of the revolutionary life lessons she has taught her children.
Today is a special day for veteran actress Sharmila Tagore as she turns a year older. Her outstanding acting skills have made a lasting impression on the audience over the years. Among the memorable films Sharmila Tagore has contributed to the entertainment industry are Aradhana and Amar Prem. Sharmila was dubbed the “beauty queen” once, and she continues to be regarded as one of the most attractive people in Bollywood.
A renowned actor:
She was listed as one of Outlook India’s 75 Greatest Bollywood Actresses in 2022. Tagore was renowned for being an actress who consistently innovated. With her 1967 movie An Evening in Paris, she made history as the first Indian actress to appear in a bikini on screen. One of the most beautiful Bollywood actresses of all time is Tagore. She was renowned for portraying a wide variety of roles, from the most conventional to the most bindaas. According to Surendra Kumar of The Sunday Guardian, “She beautifully balanced her two avatars — the serious persona of realist Bengali films, and the Bollywood persona of films with song-and-dance sequences focused on success at the box office.”Sanjay Mukhopadhyay, a film historian, stated that Tagore’s greatest contribution to Indian cinema is a feeling of of grace and dignity; she was the only actress of her era to do so after Waheeda Rehman. In the 2008 film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Aditya Chopra paid homage to Tagore with her iconic beehive hairstyle in the song “Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte” featuring actress Preity Zinta.
Her interest towards cricket:
Everyone has a few other priorities in life besides work. One of them is falling in love after expressing feelings to each other. For reasons that are unclear, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, better known as Tiger Pataudi, captured Sharmila Tagore’s heart. It is true that if love is meant to be, it can happen in any circumstance. A similar situation involving these two occurred because Mansoor Ali Khan was captaining the Indian team at the time and Sharmila worked in the entertainment industry. Like a Bollywood movie, neither of them showed much interest in the other’s line of work.
Her Journey in Bollywood:
Sharmila Tagore is an acclaimed actress who needs no introduction. She was endowed with grace, talent, intelligence, and charm. She was born into the renowned Tagore family. At the age of 14, Tagore made her screen debut in the Bengali drama Apur Sansar (The World of Apu), directed by Satyajit Ray, in 1959. The actress met the legendary cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, her late husband, when she was rising to great success in the business.
Tagore’s mother was of Assamese Hindu descent and came from the Barua family, while her father was a member of the aristocratic Bengali Hindu Tagore family, who were distantly related to the Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore. Gitindranath was the grandson of renowned painter Gaganendranath Tagore, whose first cousin was the laureate’s father, Gunendranath. In actuality, Tagore’s mother, Latika Barua (née Tagore), was the granddaughter of Dwijendranath Tagore, the brother of Rabindranath Tagore, and thus her closest relative. Latika Barua’s husband, Tagore’s maternal grandfather, née Tagore) was Jnanadabhiram Barua, an Assamese who served as the first principal of Earl Law College in Guwahati. His father, Gunabhiram Barua, was a well-known social worker.
