Waheeda Rehman was born on 3 February 1938 is an Indian actress who has appeared in mainly Hindi films, as well as Telugu, Tamil and Bengali films. She is noted for her contributions to different genres of films from the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s. She has received the Centenary Award for Indian Film Personality, the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award, the National Film Award for Best Actress and two Filmfare Awards for Best Actress throughout her career. She has been cited as Bollywood’s “most beautiful” actress by various media outlets, a title for which she has received substantial publicity. It is a common misconception that Rehman was born in Andhra Pradesh. “I was born in Chengalpattu”, she reveals, “I used to have a house in Chennai and agricultural land in the Red Hills area”. So, why the widespread belief that she was born in Hyderabad? “It’s a long story”, she says, “When I was in Chennai, I did three to four Telugu movies. In the first one, Rojulu Maraayi, I did only a folk dance number. However, it went on to become a hit! I was in Hyderabad celebrating its success and Guru Dutt happened to be there. He was on a lookout for new faces and heard that I could speak in Urdu. It is because he spotted me in Hyderabad that people assume I was born there”.Rehman was in her teens when her father died. Her dream was to become a doctor, but, due to her family’s circumstances and her mother’s illness, she abandoned her goal. In order to help her family, she hit the silver screen with Telugu films; Jayasimha (1955), followed by Rojulu Marayi (1955) and a Tamil film Kaalam Maari Pochu (1956). It was in Vijaya-Suresh’s Ram aur Shyam in 1967 that she acted again under the direction of the topnotch Telugu director Tapi Chanakya, who incidentally directed her movies Rojulu Maaraayi (in Telugu) (1955) and Kaalam Maaripochu (in Tamil) (1956). Now she is appeared in new upcoming Movie ‘Vishwaroopam II’ which is set to be released on 2018.
