During my childhood days, I had heard more about Suraiya than any other contemporary female actors like Mudhubala, Nargis etc. As I know now, both Madhubala and Nargis were more successful in terms of their box office hit films than that of Suraiya in the 50s. But it was Suraiya who was the most discussed star at that time. I guess that her charismatic personality invited keen interest from cinegoers and her fans in the same way as was the case with Rajesh Khanna in the 70s. The building in which she used to stay at Marine Drive was an important ‘tourist spot’ in those days for the visitors in the city. People would to wait for her ‘darshan’ which eluded most of them . After many years, this type of adulation was witnessed outside Rajesh Khanna’s bungalow in the 70s and Amitabh Bachchan’s bungalow even now.

One simply does not know where to start. The body of work is enormous, and the number of pleasing heart stealers is so numerous, that just a sample list of favorites will go beyond a reasonable length for a write up. And no matter how representative one makes this sampler list, readers and friends will come up with wonderful gems of A grade quality that must be included.
