There are many actresses in the Bollywood industry who have left their mark in people's hearts. From power-packed performances to beautiful looks, these actresses include Mandakini, Monica Bedi, and more. However, one thing common between these actresses was their names being linked to underworld dons, which ruined their careers. Today, we will discuss an actress who, in the 1970s, worked with superstars like Amitabh Bachchan on the big screen. Not just that, she was also the daughter of a big director. Rather than her professional life, this actress remained in the headlines due to her personal life. If you are wondering who we are talking about, then the actress is Hina Kausar, daughter of K. Asif, director of films like Mughal-e-Azam. Hina Kausar is one of those actresses who worked in many films but still could not make a name for herself. Most people know her for the film Adalat, in which she played the role of Amitabh Bachchan's sister. The song 'Behna O Behna' from this film was a huge hit. Apart from this, Hina Kausar appeared in films like Naagin, Dharmakanta, Kalia, and Nikaah. But even after working in dozens of films, she could not achieve success. Hina got many films due to her father. However, more than her professional life, Hina was in the news for her personal life. One will be surprised to know that the actress chose to marry the dreaded Indian gangster and underworld figure Iqbal Mirchi, becoming his second wife in 1991. After tying the knot with Iqbal, Hina said goodbye to Bollywood and left the industry. After marriage, Hina shifted to London with Iqbal Mirchi, but in 2013, Iqbal Mirchi died of a heart attack, and Hina was left alone. Hina was last in the news in 2012, when Iqbal Mirchi's two flats in Mumbai were sealed by the Narcotics Department.
