On this occasion, I have a picked up one of the songs from ‘Baazooband’ (1954) which was produced by her and the last film under her banner, Variety Productions, by which time she was separated from her husband, Anil Biswas.
Ashalata Biswas (17/10/1917 – 26/05/1992), born as Mehrunissa Bhagat in a Gujarati Muslim family based in Bhuj, started her filmy career as an actress in ‘Sati Toral’ (1935) with the screen name of ‘Ashalata’.
