Nalini Jaywant (born 18 February 1926 - died 21st December 2010) was an Indian movie actress from Bollywood of 1940s and 1950s.

Jaywant was born in Bombay in 1926.

She is first cousin to actress Shobhna Samarth, the mother of actresses Nutan and Tanuja). Shobhna's mother, actress Rattan Bai, was a sibling of Nalini's father. Since 1983, she has been living mostly a reclusive life.

She was married to director Virendra Desai in the 1940s. Later, she married her second husband, actor Prabhu Dayal, with whom she acted with in several movies.

1950 was a breakthrough year for Nalini when she became a top star with her performances opposite Ashok Kumar in Samadhi and Sangram. Samadhi was a patriotic drama concerning Subash Chandra Bose and the Indian National Army.

Nalini remained an important leading actress through the mid-1950s. Movie makers K. A. Abbas (Rahi), Ramesh Saigal (Shikast and Railway Platform), and Zia Sarhady (Awaaz) extended Nalini Jaywant's association with realistic movies, while movie makers Mahesh Kaul (Naujavan (1951)) and AR Kardar (Jaadu) developed her musical persona. She performed admirably in successful Filmistan musicals, Nastik (opposite Ajit), Munimji (opposite Dev Anand), Hum Sab Chor Hain (opposite Shammi Kapoor).

The 1958 movie Kaala Pani, directed by Raj Khosla, was Nalini's last successful movie. That year, she won the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award for her performance in that movie as a shady nautch girl, Kishori, who formed a "key witness" in framing the hero's father for a murder. Her come-hither mujra in S. D. Burman's composition Nazar Laage Raaja Tore Bangle pe and her tearful looks at Dev Anand from across the room in Burman's Hum Bekhudi Mein were memorable.

Bombay Race Course (1965) was Nalini's last main movie, though she did make a comeback of sorts playing a blind mother in Nastik (1983). (This Nastik had no connection with Nastik(1954) in which she had starred.)

Actor Dilip Kumar considered Nalini as the greatest actress he ever worked with, citing her instinct for grasping the essence of a scene as second to none.[citation needed] A Filmfare poll in the 1950s named her the most beautiful woman in the Indian movie world. She acted opposite all top actors of her time, barring Raj Kapoor, in hit movies like Samadhi (1950), Jaadu (1951), Nastik (1954), Munimjee (1955), Mr. X (1957), and Kaala Pani (1958). She received much critical acclaim for her performances in Rahi (1952), Shikast (1953), Railway Platform (1955), and Awaaz (1956).

A Filmfare poll in the 1950s had named her the most beautiful woman in the Hindi film world.

Jaywant, who has worked with the biggest names in the film by Dev Anand, Ashok Kumar and Dilip Kumar, who preceded the legendary actresses of the 1950s like Nutan, Meena Kumari, Madhubala, Waheeda Rehman and Vyjayanthimala few years ago. For film buffs and fans she will always be a large marquee name of the golden age of cinema.

Actress Tanuja, whose mother Shobhana Samarth was the first cousin Jaywant was shocked to hear the news, as it was Dev Anand who Jaywant with hit films like Kala Pani and Munimji with evergreen songs like Jeevan ke safar mein rahi and Raja Nazar Laag Tore par bracelet.

Nalini Jaywant died on 20th December 2010 in tragically lonely circumstances at her bungalow in Chembur,Mumbai.

@Yuanyuanyuanyin, Naliniji passed away peacefully at her residence of over 60 years at Union Park, Chembur, Mumbai on the afternoon of Monday, 20th December, 2010 and not 21st December to 24th December, as wrongly reported in some media

After the demise of her husband Prabhu Dayal, few years back, she had become a virtual recluse, interacting with virtually no one in the film industry and just 2 people in her neighbourhood

She remained stunningly beautiful even at the age of 80+.

RIP Nalinij
