Hullo Atuldom
Acclaimed actress of the 1950s, who was much-loved even after she hung-up her acting boots in 1970, turns a year older-enters her 93rd year on this earth on 13th August. She was loved as much for her acting as her proficiency in dancing- she is a trained, disciplined Bharat Natyam dancer. Recently, in February 2024, at age 90, she took part in Raag Sewa performance series at Ram Mandir, Ayodhya, with a Bharat Natyam dance recital, and its video soon became viral on social media. She is a lady (from the older generation) who’s work I simply adore. The spark in her eyes when she is dancing is something out-of-this-world.
She was born in Madras (present day Chennai) to Mandyam Dhati Raman and Vasundhara Devi – an actress of the 1940s (herself). She was primarily raised by her grandmother Yadugiri Devi. At age 7, she was chosen to perform a classical Indian dance for Pope Pius XII while her mother was an audience, in 1940, at Vatican City. She learned Bharatnatyam from V. Ramaiah Pillai and Carnatic music from D. K. Pattammal, K. V. Narayanaswamy, M. S. Subbulakshmi, K. P. Kittappa Pillai and other such learned teachers of those times, under the guidance of her grandmother.

Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 36

Today’s song is “Khud Toh Badnaam Huye” from Chanda Aur Bijli (1969). The lyricist is Hasrat Jaipuri and the composer jodi is Shankar Jaikishan.
Four songs out of six have already been posted earlier, so this is the fifth song.

Today’s song is from the film Samaj ko badal dalo-1947. The film, made by Prakash Pictures, Bombay was directed by one one of its owners Vijay Bhatt. Music was by Khemchand Prakash. The cast of the film included Arun Ahuja, Mridula, Yakub, Umakant, Vikram Kapoor, Leela Pawar and many others.
Contrary to the usual Mythological films made by Prakash Pictures, this social tragedy film was a surprise to their audience. However, due to political instability, India’s proposed Partition and fear of communal riots, Prakash must have tried a safe way out. Additionally, unlike Mythological films, the social films did not need more time to finish the shootings.
