  • Meena Kumari or Mahjabeen Bano (August 1, 1932 - March 31, 1972), was an Indian movie actress and poetess. She is regarded as one of the most prominent actresses to have appeared on the screens of Hindi Cinema. During a career spanning 30 years from her childhood to her death, she starred in more than ninety films, many of which have achieved classic and cult status today. Kumari gained a reputation for playing grief-stricken and tragic roles, and her performances have been praised and reminisced throughout the years. Like one of her best-known roles, Chhoti Bahu, in Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962), Kumari became addicted to alcohol. Her life and prosperous career were marred by heavy drinking, troubled relationships, an ensuing deteriorating health, and her death from liver cirrhosis in 1972. Kumari is often cited by media and literary sources as "The Tragedy Queen", both for her frequent portrayal of sorrowful and dramatic roles in her films and her real-life story.
  • Meena Kumari war eine indische Filmschauspielerin. Sie gilt als die "Königin der Tragödie" von Bollywood. Sie ist die Tochter des Theaterschauspielers Ali Bux und der bengalischen Tänzerin Iqbal Begum. Ihre erste Filmrolle hatte sie als Kind unter dem Namen Baby Meena 1939. Sie spielte zunächst in mythologischen Filmen bevor sie 1952 als romantisch-tragische Heldin in Baiju Bawra ihre Lebensrolle und ihren ersten Filmfare Award bekam. Ihre Filmauftritte als leidende Frau sind für indische Verhältnisse weniger zahlreich als prägnant. Kumari kultivierte dieses Image bewusst. In ihrer größten darstellerischen Leistung in Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam spielte sie neben Waheeda Rehman und Guru Dutt eine deprimierte Frau mit Alkoholproblemen, die unter Aufgabe ihres Selbst versucht, ihren abtrünnigen Ehemann zurückzugewinnen. Mitte der 1960er Jahre war Rehman selbst stark alkoholgeneigt. Ihr letzter Film Pakeezah (1971) wurde nach ihrem Tod zu einem Klassiker. Meena Kumari ist vierfache Preisträgerin des Filmfare Awards für die Beste Hauptdarstellerin. Sie starb an Leberzirrhose.
  • Si tratta di uno dei volti più famosi di Bollywood. La sua filmografia è sterminata; ha vinto quattro volte i Filmfare Awards come Miglior Attrice Protagonista, ricevendo numerose nomination. È morta di cirrosi all'età di trentanove anni.
