It was many years ago; as a child I saw the song “Dil Jalta Ha To Jalne De”(‘Pehli Nazar’, 1945) as one of the songs in a Chitrahaar program on Doordarshan. At that time, I had no idea about the actors present on the screen during this song. The image of Motilal that I would later remember and carry with me for a long time, would be the balding, and somewhat comical man from films like ‘Mr. Sampat’ (1952) and ‘Jaagte Raho’ (1956). And it was much later that I would become aware that the young man in this song, with a moustache and a head of full hair is none other than the same Motilal. However, on the first viewing of this song on TV, it was the charming face of the lady love, that enamored me, and the image of that open expression on her face, with expectation and waiting written on it, still remains with me as one the most endearing images of a lady actor on screen.
