Meena Kumari’s life was other people’s destination. For own self, it was a road leading nowhere….no point of arrival.
These words of Meena Kumari, quoted in the book ‘Meena Kumari the Poet – A Life Beyond Cinema’ (2014), sum up her short life, so well.
Today is the 43rd death anniversary of Mahajabeen Bano, better known as Meena Kumari (August 1, 1932 – March 31, 1972). Although she had done roles in diverse genres, she was known as the ‘tragedy queen’ of Hindi films. Her personal life was no less a tragedy than the roles she had played in most of her films. It is said that as a new born child, she was abadoned and put in an orphanage, albiet for few hours, as her parent could not afford to take care of her due to their poor financial condition. A change of mind of her parents brought her back to their residence. But the very thought of she being an ‘unwanted’ child must have lingered in Meena Kumari’s mind later on. Most of her childhood was spent in the film studios as she became the earning member of the family by working in the films as child actor. Her youth was spent in depicting onscreen, the sufferings, sorrows and tragedies that are associated with most womenfolk in India. After the marriage, her husband saw in her more an actress for his films than a wife. With this background, one does not need a psychologist to analyse as to why she excelled in her tragic roles. One of her tragedy roles that most often lingers in my mind is that of Chhoti Bahu in ‘Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam’ (1962) which, in a way, was a reminiscence of her own life.
