Today’s song is from a social film- Fashionable wife-1959.
Very few know that there was an interesting film of the same title- Fashionable wife in 1938 also. I called it interesting, because its Hero- Sardar Gul, came from Calcutta and did a role in the film Said e hawas-1936, made by Sohrab Modi’s film company ” Stage Films”. Sohrab Modi gave the Hero a screen name of Chandra Kumar. Actually, the film was only a shooting of the very popular stage play of the same name. Sardar Gul was promised Rs. 200 for this film. However the film flopped miserably and Modi refused to pay him more than Rs. 50 only. Enraged, he threw the money on Modi’s face and left for Calcutta. After 2 years he returned to Bombay, with a new screen name Anil Kumar and acted in the film Fashionable wife. He went on to do more than 30 films till 1964.
Similarly, the film Fashionable wife-1959 was also interesting. The heroine of the film- Jaymala was the wife of the producer director , B.K.Adarsh. She had done few films earlier, but being the wife of the producer she was made a Heroine, as it was all a ” Ghar ka mamla” ! She was neither very beautiful nor a very good actress. This is how Nepotism existed in Hindi films for a long time.
