“Jungle Princess” (1942) was a Wadia Movietone Production. This movie had Nadia playing a female version of Tarzan. Unlike Tarzan, who gets raised by monkeys, here Nadia (playing Mala) is raised by Lions, no less. :). She has two lion cubs as her companions at childhood and then all three grow up. Watching a grown up Nadia flanked by two grown up lions is a great sight to behold. Our beloved Memsaab has written a wonderful review of this movie here and I keep revisiting this page every time I have to discuss a song from this movie.

A remembrance of today that must include her own expressions. Mahajabeen was an emotional personality, and as with all emotional people, there is an expression of the artist in ways more than one. A poetess in her own right, she is known to have been writing couplets and ghazals from a very young age. And when her life started on downhill glide, it was the drink that became a faithful companion, and it was her pen that became an outlet for her to tell the world, about her sorrows and her wounds.
