This actress entered films to escape poverty, rose to fame with Raj Kapoor's movie, and became a star as Rajesh Khanna's on-screen sister, she was...
In the grand story of Indian cinema, Kumari Naaz remains a name etched in both childhood and adulthood roles. Born on 20 August 1944 in Mumbai as Salma Beg, she entered films not out of choice but necessity. Financial struggles pushed her into acting at a tender age, and soon, Baby Naaz became a household name. How did poverty push her into films? It was her mother who decided to send her into films to ease the family's economic stress. By just four years old, Naaz was already facing the camera. Her career as a child artist flourished for a decade, where she became one of the top names of her time. Which film made Baby Naaz unforgettable? Her turning point came in 1954 with Boot Polish, produced by R.K. Films. In the movie, she played an orphan girl whose grit and charm won hearts across India. The iconic song 'Muthi Mein Hai Taqdeer Hamari' still recalls her innocence and spirit. The film was such a success that Naaz and her co-star Ratan Kumar were given a special honour at the Cannes Film Festival. How did she shine as Rajesh Khanna's on-screen sister? Although she appeared in several films like Devdas, Musafir, Ganga Jamuna, and Kaagaz Ke Phool, her most memorable adult role came in the 1970s, Saccha Jhootha. Playing Rajesh Khanna's differently-abled sister, Naa,z left audiences teary-eyed with her sensitivity. This role earned her the tag of Bollywood's 'pyari behen' (beloved sister). Did she work beyond acting? Yes. Naaz also left her mark as a dubbing artist. In the 1970s, she lent her voice to Sridevi's early Hindi films such as Himmatwala, Tohfa, and Mawaali. Her voice work was widely appreciated, adding another layer to her versatility. What about her personal life? Naaz married actor Subiraj, who was connected to Raj Kapoor's family. After marriage, she converted to Hinduism and took the name Anuradha. Despite the change, fans and the industry continued to call her 'Naaz.' The couple had two children, and their family life was largely happy. How did her story end? In her later years, Naaz suffered from a serious liver ailment. Despite the love and admiration she had earned, her life was cut short due to illness. Yet, her legacy continues through her performances — from a struggling child artist to a much-loved sister on screen.

'Coolie' producers take legal route; challenges A certificate in court; read more
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Superstar Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' continues to remain the talk of the town—not just for its roaring box office numbers but also for the controversy surrounding its censor certification. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the gangster action-drama opened to a thunderous start, collecting Rs 65 crore on its release day and touching an impressive Rs 400 crore worldwide in its opening weekend, as reported by the Sacnilk website. Meanwhile, the film had received an unexpected 'A' certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and now the producers have decided to take the legal route. Coolie | Song - I Am The Danger (Lyrical) As reported by 123 Telugu website, Sun Pictures has approached the Madras High Court, challenging the 'A' certificate. For the first time in nearly three decades, a Rajinikanth film was given an adults-only rating—an unusual move that restricted family audiences, especially children, from watching the film in multiplexes. Reportedly, the production house has now requested the court to downgrade the film to a 'U/A,' citing that Coolie doesn't contain extreme violence or explicit content. Many netizens, however, are puzzled about why the challenge came so late, arguing that the damage to its family audience base has already been done. Box office still holding strong Despite the certification controversy, 'Coolie' has held its ground at the ticket windows. According to early estimates, the film earned Rs 9.50 crore on Tuesday (Day 6), taking its total net collection in India to Rs 216 crore. While the opening day created history with Rs 65 crore, Friday saw a dip to Rs 54.75 crore. Mixed reviews for Lokesh Kanagaraj's film On the other hand, 'Coolie' is receiving mixed reviews from the audiences, mainly due to plot holes and also a less engaging narrative when compared to other Lokesh Kanagaraj films like 'Vikram', 'Kaithi'. Even with mixed reviews, with no major competitions ahead, 'Coolie' will surely wreak havoc at the box office.
