Bengali Beauty-Moushumi Chatterjee


Moushumi Chatterjee was born on April 26, 1948 in Calcutta, India. She is a Bollywood actress. Her father Prantosh Chattopadhyaya was in the Army. She had a sister and a brother. Her grandfather was a judge. Moushmi is married to Jayant Mukherjee, son of famous, late singer Hemant Kumar. They have two daughters, Payal and Meghna.

She started to act in Bollywood movies after her marriage, which was quite unusual for women at that time. The actress was introduced to movie audiences in 1967 in a Bengali movie Balika Badhu directed by Tarun Majumdar.

She was on the top of her career in the 70s and early 80s, when she starred opposite heroes such as Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra and Jitendra. Moushumi received Filmfare nominations as Best Actress for Anuraag (1972) where she played a blind girl, and as Best Supporting Actress for Roti Kapda Aur Makaan (1974) where she played a rape survivor. She still acts in movies, but not at the same pace as earlier in her career.

Chatterjee acted with her youngest daughter, Megha, in her daughter's debut movie, a Bengali film titled Bhalo Bashar Onek Naam directed by Tarun Majumdar, the same person who directed Chatterji's very first movie, Balika Badhu.

Awards-

Filmfare nominations as Best Actress for "Anuraag" (1972)
Best Supporting Actress for "Roti Kapda Aur Makaan" (1974)

Moushumi Chatterjee was never considered to be a glamorous figure and she had crooked teeth, and yet, she was considered one of the most beautiful faces to hit the Hindi screen in the 1970s.

Rakhee - Actress of Substance



Raakhee, the bollywood veteran actress was born on August 15, 1947 and her career spans from the late 1960s to 2003.

Raakhee hails from the state of West Bengal and had an arranged marriage to Bengali film director Ajay Biswas which ended shortly and unhappily thereafter. She married film director, poet and lyricist, Gulzar and has separated from him but never divorced him.

She has a daughter called Meghna (Bosky) who has directed a few films like Filhaal, Just Married and Dus Kahaniyaan.

Raakhee won rave reviews for her first Bengali film Badhu Baran 1967 in Calcutta after which she was offered the lead role in her first Hindi film, Rajshri Productions Jeevan Mrityu with Dharmendra in 1970.

She shot to fame in the 1971 film Sharmilee where she played a double role opposite Shashi Kapoor. Consequently, she established herself as a popular and major Hindi heroine acting with the best co-stars and directors, in several blockbuster films like Heera Panna (1973), Daag (1973), Blackmail (1973) and Tapasya (1976) .

Her extremley popular romantic screen pair was with the reigning king of Bollywood Amitabh Bachchan. They went on to star in no less than nine hit films; Kabhie Kabhie (1976), Muqaddar Ka Sikander (1977), Kasme Vaade (1978), Trishul (1978), Kaala Patthar (1979), Jurmana (1979), Barsaat Ki Ek Raat (1981), Lawaaris (1981) and Bemisal (1982).

With her main focus on good roles rather than star status, Raakhee did not hesitate to play Amithab's elder sister-in-law in Shaan(1980) and even his mother in the film Shakti (1982).

Towards the mid 1980's and 1990's, she played elderly mother or supporting roles in films such as Ram Lakhan (1989), Baazigar (1993), Khalnayak (1993), Karan Arjun (1995), Border (1997), Soldier (1998)
