Shyama was one of the loveliest actresses in my youth-- statuesque in shape, with a sweet face and a smile that looked as if a thousand flower buds had suddenly opened their petals. The slight wrinkles of the bridge between her eyes that she sometimes created brought forth both a twinkle in her glances and the possibility of some endearing mischief. And yet her acting had purity and innocence as well. That's the kind of stuff that used to melt young men's hearts.
I knew she was an athletic Punjabi Sikh girl whom Sardul Kwatra introduced to acting in movies, but I didn't know she was from Lahore. Now in her 70s, she is rotund-- really heavy in shape and weight. Thanks for the info.
@chamogaa Sir i am amazed how brilliantly you describe the beauty of Shyama like a poet. I too found her very attractive. But it was sad that she refused to work with Guru Dutt in "Pyaasa" because she raised her price after the success of "Aar Paar". Kaash Shyama Ji ne "Pyaasa" mein role kiya hota.
Shyama looks great! - better than Aiyshwarya Roy ! How effectively this whole love song is picturised within the confines of a carshed. In these days this song would have been shot in bits and pieces in Finland,scotland,Thailand,Poland and No man's land with little effect of the love between the two. Oh! those great 50s !

This is a song that will never die. This surely should count as one of the greatest duets from Bollywood. Guru Dutt and Shyama act out this song well. Rafi and Geeta's voices are just superb and OPN comes out with his best. THANKS kitaabik
Nayyar Saab !!!
I really miss you
What a fantastic song this was
The evergreen combination of Guru Dutt and Shyama adds more colour to this masterpiece of Nayyar saab.
Wah Nayyar saab Wah !!!!

@chamogaa A correction: Shyama was a Muslim,not a Sikh. Her real name was Khrshid Akhtar. My mistake. Sorry

Guru is great! Among contemporary artists only AAmir comes close in terms of quality, though they are different.
