Zohra Sehgal
Who can forget her feisty act as the 85-year-old mother to Amitabh Bachchan’s 64-year-old chef Buddhadev Gupta in Cheeni Kum (2007)? She was 95 at the time but, on set, according to Bachchan, her energy and joie de verve were unmatchable! “Zohraji was a rocket on take-off, each day of the shoot,” he said in an interview.
This very enthusiasm is also seen in Mani Ratnam’s Dil Se (1998), in which she dances to the tune of Jiya Jale Jaan Jale alongside Preity Zinta. She is the one who catches the love birds romancing around her blind self in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999) and laughs it off, reciting a rustic couplet.
Sehgal’s irrepressible zest for life always trickled into the mother and grandmother characters she portrayed on screen. Off the screen, this recipient of the Padma Shri, Kalidas Samman and Padma Vibushan was photographed almost ready to stab the cake for her hundredth birthday with the charming albeit naughty smile that she is known for.
