No one can smile as beautifully as “Madhubala”, and no one can weep as beautifully as “Meena Kumari”. No female can look so beautiful while weeping as “Meena Kumari” in the whole Indian film industry.
Amazing how ordinary public is beguiled by the image on the screen caring nothing for those who created it: writers, poets, artisans, makeup, camera & multitude of others? KA was the real Intellectual who turned Filmi Dunya from drivel to excellence: Mahal, Paakeeza and Mughal e Aazam. MK got intellectual prominence after she met KA. He carved her into Venus de Milo. Paakeeza and MK became legends after her death. Viewers thronged Cinemas & made her immortal. Such is life.
pain in meena kumari's voice reflects her personal life. meena is meena only. bollywood can not have a second heroine like her. i can not even imagine a remake of saheb biwi aur ghulam with out her.
nooraani: you must be an idiotic old world morality freak. You seem to look at book covers to know if the book is good....you must have married an ass for it is white..didn't you? Stupid small minded circus freak...pray your daughter does not go Meena's way...for then you will see why she drank or needed men...if that is true. Please see a doc at the earliest to find out how much will lobotomy cost..and let us know..we will find a way to pay for it.
subhan alha....unka achal tau chota na tha...phir bhi kyon khali rhi?...intna dard...adure ko pura na hone ka....what a personality..surly..noone cud complete her....thnks for posting n making me remind her.
I knew both Kamal Amrohovi and Meena as a child and as a teenager. She was neither alcoholic nor gigolo huntress. It is sad that Madhubala, who was both, was successful in spreading rumours about Meena. Meena was an intellectual and of had high morale with deep understanding and appreciation of Urdu literature. She was only 12 years older than me. Believe you me. They both were very much in love with each other but clashed in personalities. Dr. Zaidi
It is not very honourable to tarnish another dead lady's memory. Madhubala was as unhappy as Meena. Rumours were spread by Meena's so-called "friends", f. ex., Achla Sachdev. Meena married Chandan (Kamal Amrohi), because "Kamalsaheb mera naseeb hai". Besides, why discuss her personal life we don't know anything for sure about? Her gift to us is important, and the poetry is heartbreaking.
@amoralis123 Sir u are one of the most luckiest person to know her in person .... i wish i could had met meenajee once in my life time... unfortuantely i wont at least this life time... May Allah bless her soul Ameen
"Three weeks after the release of Pakeezah, Meena Kumari became seriously ill, and passed away on March 31, 1972 of cirrhosis of the liver . At her death, she was in more or less the same financial circumstance as her parents at the time of her birth: It is said that when she died in a nursing home, there was no money to pay her hospital bills."Wikipedia .

It is said that Meena Kumari was an alcoholic and was very passionate about making love to young men. All her money went on the alcohol and men. She was married to Kamal Amrohi but had very unhealthy relationship due to her life style and the couple devorced. Meena was Kamal's second wife but he always loved her even after the divorce. He started 'Pakeeza' while they were together but stopped because of separation. And it wasn't until 16 years later that he completed the masterpiece.
