It was just three days before Sanjay made his debut in Hindi cinema with 'Rocky' when Nargis passed away due to pancreatic cancer. Nargis was tagged as one of the finest and greatest actresses in the history of Indian cinema. She often portrayed sophisticated and independent women in a range of genres, from screwball comedy to literary drama.
The iconic star made her screen debut in a minor role at the age of six with Talash-E-Haq in 1935. However, acting career actually began with the film Tamanna in 1942. She was then seen in films such as Taqdeer, Andaz, Barsaat, Awaara, Shree 420, Chori Chori, and Mother India. Her last film was the drama Raat Aur Din, for which she received the inaugural National Film Award for Best Actress.
Nargis married her Mother India co-star Sunil Dutt in 1958. Together they had three children, including Priya, Namrata and Sanjay. Talking about Sanjay, his latest release is 'The Bhootnii', which follows the story of a girl named Mohabbat, who becomes the target of a quirky ghost hunter named Baba, portrayed by the veteran actor. Alongside Palak and Dutt, the film features an ensemble cast including Mouni Roy, Sunny Singh, Aasif Khan, and Beyounick.
Presented by Zee Studios, Soham Rockstar Entertainment and Three Dimension Motion Pictures, "The Bhootnii" is a Soham Rockstar Entertainment production.
Directed by Siddhant Sachdev, the horror-comedy released on May 1. He will next be seen in the fifth installment of the 'Housefull' franchise.

Vikrant Massey REACTS To Prithviraj Chauhan Show: 'He Was Never Truly Defeated'
Last Updated: Vikrant Massey praises Sony TV's Prithviraj Chauhan show, calls the king a timeless hero and questions misleading historical narratives about his defeat by Ghori. Actor Vikrant Massey, known for his powerful performances in both television and film, has recently opened up about his deep connection with Indian history—especially the legacy of warrior-king Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan. Inspired by the promo of Sony TV's upcoming historical show Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, Massey took to Instagram to express his thoughts on the misunderstood narratives around one of India's greatest rulers. Massey, who began his acting career with TV shows like Balika Vadhu and has since transitioned into acclaimed films such as 12th Fail and The Sabarmati Report, revealed that history has long been a personal passion. 'Very few people know that history has always been my favorite subject," he shared. 'Even today, I read history books simply out of interest—because to understand the present, it is essential to understand the past." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vikrant Massey (@vikrantmassey) Commenting on the promo of the new series, Massey addressed the long-contested story of Prithviraj Chauhan's conflict with Mohammad Ghori. 'Who says that Prithviraj Chauhan was defeated by Mohammad Ghori?" he questioned. 'Chauhan defeated Ghori multiple times and spared his life every time. It was only when Ghori used deceit that he succeeded. He captured Chauhan, blinded him, and had him killed in an inhumane manner." The actor went on to challenge commonly accepted historical narratives. 'Books may say, and our neighboring country may believe, that Ghori defeated Chauhan. But that's not the full truth. A nation or civilization doesn't fall in a day—it takes centuries. And even now, nearly 1,000 years later, India thrives. On the other hand, Ghori's own land, Ghor, is among the most underdeveloped in the world." With great pride, Massey concluded, 'Prithviraj still lives on. We are proud of him. But in Ghori's country, no one even speaks his name." Massey's impassioned reflection has added to the anticipation around Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, which promises to bring alive a defining era of Indian history. Airing Monday to Friday at 7:30 PM on Sony TV and streaming on Sony LIV, the show offers a compelling look into the life, battles, and undying spirit of the legendary Rajput king. First Published:
