Namaste! And it was a spiritual Indian Morning, and two potters were making pots. Asked one potter, “What is Dharma?”. Said the other, “Dharma is the water that holds this clay together.” “What is Jagat?” “Jagat is the wheel that moves this clay?” “And what is Karma?” “Karma is the hands that shapes this pot.” “What then is Shradha?”, asked the potter. “Shradha is the feeling that every pot we have made, has a divine purpose”.

She was the only nominee in the Best Actress category in 1963. In 1963, Meena Kumari made it very easy for the jury selecting the best actress at the Filmfare Awards. She was the only actress nominated in the category, for her performances in Abrar Alvi’s Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, Phani Majumdar’s Aarti and A Bhimsingh’s Main Chup Rahungi. The choice was between three fine performances, each one defined by Meena Kumari’s ability to depict deeply felt emotions and convey the pathos as well as the strength of her characters. In those days, there were three nominees in each category. In other words, she was already the winner. Meena Kumari was nominated for Aarti, in which her eponymous character is torn between her former lover and her husband. Aarti proves that few actresses embody conflict and the ensuing suffering as well as Meena Kumari. 04-KABHI TO MILEGI KAHIN TO MILEGI CD MISC-20220731 TRACK#04 3:04 AARTI-1962; LATA MANGESHKAR; ROSHAN; MAJROOH SULTANPURI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMZWtjM7Xa8 The second nomination was for Main Chup Rahungi, a remake of the Tamil weepie Kalathur Kannamma (1960), in which Kamal Haasan made his debut as a child actor. The original film starred Southern screen icon Savitri, and in a rare case of a performance in a remake matching the original, Meena Kumari wrung out tears as a woman who bears a child out of wedlock and ends up being his teacher years later. Meena Kumari managed to give her characters much dignity even in their suffering and this performance too is no exception. She matched Savithri’s superlative act with her own and gave Main Chup Rahungi most of its strength. The winner was Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, Abrar Alvi’s masterpiece about the long-suffering wife of a decadent aristocrat in pre-independent Bengal. Produced by Guru Dutt and also starring the filmmaker, Rehman and Waheeda Rehman, Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam counts as one of Meena Kumari’s most unforgettable movies alongside Kamal Amrohi’s Pakeezah (1972). Her character, known as Chhoti Bahu, embraces alcohol in a desperate attempt to get the attention of her wayward husband. Among the film’s highlights is the song Na Jao Saiyan, an ode to self-laceration rendered in dripping tones of sadness by Geeta Dutt. 05-NA JAON SAIYAAN CHHUDA KE BAIYAAN CD MISC-20220731 TRACK#05 3:47 SAHIB BIBI AUR GHULAM-1962; GEETA DUTT; HEMANT KUMAR; SHAKEEL BADAYUNI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCDbIT13MRY 97-ANTMEIN-SIGNOFF – 01:57 INSTRUMENTAL- PIYA AISO JIYA MEIN SAMAY GAYO RE-SAHIB BIBI AUR GHULAM-1962;ELECTRIC STEEL GUITAR; AMARNATH BANIK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loItBoLdVZU ---------------------------------------------------------- To Give Your Community Announcements on this programme Please E-mail at aim931@rogers.com or ksampat@rogers.com Or Visit www.indianmorning.com. ----------------------------------------------------------अंत मे छोटी सी बात ‘An Indian Morning’ की तरफसे: ---------------------------------------------------------- “It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them.
