This lady is NOT Jeevan Kala.
There is another song in this movie – Mera Bandar Chala Hai Sasural. The lady in THAT song is Jeevan Kala, not this one.

ZINDAGI AUR KHWAB-1961 was based on a story by Kamal Amrohi,who had separated from Meenakumari since 1960.
Meena k. had married K.Amrohi in 1952 and if one takes a look at her films from 1952 to 1960,one will find that she was selecting light/comedy roles.She was personally very happy in life and it reflected in her films.
Some of these films are Baiju Bawra,Azaad,Mem Sahib,Miss Mary,4 dil 4 rahen,Kohinoor etc.
From 1960,after her separation she became sad and her films reflected her pathos and pessimism in her films till 1964,when finally she was divorced.Some of the films in this period were,Dil apna aur preet parayi,Zindagi aur khwab,bhabhi ki choodiyan,Sahib bibi aur ghulam,Main chup rahoongi,Dil ek mandir etc.
In ZAK,Meenakumari played the role of Shanti,an orphan,whose stepmother tortured her.Finally,she was married off to Shankar(Jayant),much older than her and a criminal.Shankar murders Chandabai(Jeevenkala) a mujrawali and escapes.Police chase his truck,which falls in a river and he is presumed dead.
Inspector Manoj(Rajendrakumar) keeps visiting Shanti for investigation and they develop love.Shanti is hoping for a better life,but Shankar appears-live- and her hopes are dashed.
The rest of the story is absolutely routine and gives ample scope for the type of acting Meena kumari and Rajendra kumar were known for.
The saving grace was the music of Dattaram,he used 6 singers for 6 songs.
The director S.Banerji,who had directed films like Dillagi,Parvarish,Madhu and Preet na jaane reet had not much scope.

I cant identify the actress, even though she looks familiar. I’m sure Prakashji or Arunji would know.
