Madhubala's 86th Birthday
 |
Today’s Doodle by Bangalore-based artist Muhammed Sajid celebrates Madhubala, an icon of Indian cinema who was also widely known as “The Marilyn Monroe of Bollywood.” Raised in the slums of Bombay, she supported her family as a child star and soon became a leading lady known for her elegance on screen and considerable acting abilities.
Born in Delhi on this day in 1933, Mumtaz Jehan Begum Dehlavi was raised in a town located near the Bombay Talkies film studio. She appeared in her first film at the age of 9, billed as Baby Mumtaz. In 1947 she landed the lead role in Neel Kamal at the age of 14, taking the name Madhubala. As the family’s main breadwinner, she worked tirelessly to support her parents and four sisters. Madhubala appeared in nine films during 1949, including a spellbinding breakout performance in the box office hit Mahal.
While her breathtaking appearance earned comparisons to Venus, Madhubala was a gifted actor with an understated style well suited for comedies, dramas, and romantic roles alike. She fell in love with Dilip Kumar, her costar in the 1951 romance Tarana, but her father, who managed her career, interfered. The actors’ chemistry in the epic historical drama Mughal-e-Azam—one of the most popular and expensive movies in Bollywood history—was undeniable and unforgettable.
Appearing in over 70 films over the course of a tragically brief career, Madhubala—who would have turned 86 today—was called “The Biggest Star in the World” in 1952 by Theatre Arts magazine. In 2008 she appeared on a commemorative postage stamp in India, where she is remembered by many as one of the greatest to ever grace the silver screen.

Nutan’s 81st Birthday.
04.06.2017 Sunday ஞாயிறு Google Doodle JPEG
The conflicted murderess ( Bandini ).
The anguished untouchable ( Sujata ).
The hell-raising orphan ( Seema ).
All memorable Characters played by Nutan, a celebrated Indian Film Actress known for communicating Complex Emotions using only Facial Expressions and Body Language rather than Dialogue.
An Icon of Indian Cinema for over Four Decades, Nutan pioneered Powerful Women-Centric Films in an Age when Male Actors dominated the Silver Screen.
Over her Career, her Distinct, groundbreaking Style helped solidify an Award-winning Legacy.
She won the Padma Shri in 1974 for her Contribution to the Arts and a Total of Six Filmfare Awards, Five of which were for Best Actress.
She remains the oldest Indian Actress to win a Filmfare Award.
Today’s Doodle reflects Nutan’s expressive acting Style on what would have been her 81st Birthday.
It was hard to sum up her Genius in a Single Portrait and so I depicted Four Distinct Expressions.
Happy Birthday,Nutan!
