Meena Kumari's childhood perished on film sets; treated as 'meal ticket' by her family: 'I thought I would go to the studio...'
The late actress , having earned the nickname of the tragedy queen, had an uncanny ability to charm in every frame, thereby leaving an indelible mark on Indian celluloid. Behind the deceiving face, the late actress despised being in front of the camera, as she longed for books and education. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Here's a closer look. The late Meena Kumari and her lifelong tragedy Kumari, born as Mahjabeen, was made to act in front of the camera since she was 4 by her parents, Ali Bux and Iqbal Begum. The late actress, along with her family, lived in the chawls of Dadar, Mumbai and worked for a living wage. Her elder sister, Khursheed, was already in the films, as Ali dragged both of them from studio to studio in search of a new job. By the time Meena Kumari was 15, the family earned enough money to move out of the chawls and shift to Bandra, according to The Indian Express. In the book by Vinod Mehta, 'Meena Kumari – the Classic Biography,' the 'Pakeezah' actress claimed that she went along with the work on the first day without realising that it would be the end of her typical childhood. 'I thought I would go to the studio for a few days and then go to school, learn a few things and play and make merry like other children. But that was not to be,' she quoted. Meena Kumari and her unfulfilled wish to be educated Ali deemed sending his daughters to school unnecessary. The three daughters – Khursheed, Meena, and Madhu – became the breadwinners of the family, but lacked independence as Ali controlled the household and refrained from letting them make decisions for themselves. For Meena Kumari's first film, 'Leather Face,' with director , she received Rs. 25. 'She became the meal ticket. She didn't have a normal childhood. And from the age of 6-7, she was just being hopped around from place to place as a child artiste, and the money that she made, the family survived on that,' Mehta said in an interview with RSTV. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now About Meena Kumari's parents Ali, who left his first wife and three other daughters, and Iqubal Begum, who was born in a Hindu household with the name Prabhavati, married for love, but it became a gateway for poverty. They had financial problems and fought for money, while Meena wanted to study. 'My one interest was to read, and when other children in the studio went out to play in the compound, I moved into a corner and lost myself in the world of children's books,' she said in the biography. Meena Kumari's independence As the clock ticked, Khursheed got married and left the entertainment world. Meanwhile, Kumari yearned for independence, which she received after she decided to marry . However, the 'Sahib, Bibi Aur Ghulam' actress knew that her father would oppose and decided to keep the secret from him until she could gather Rs. 2 lakhs and present it to him. After Ali got acquainted with her wish, he forced her to separate them, but she stood strong. The late Meena Kumari continued to live with her father for a year, and he never asked her to leave, as she was the sole earner. However, she decided to work in a film with Amrohi and rejected the proposal brought by her father. Ali decided to close the doors for her, which she bought, and did not let her come back. Kumari wrote a letter, asking for nothing but her clothes and books, and continued to support everyone around her until the end.
