We've always heard about being Naughty at 40,
but Zohra Sehgal beat us to that. This
enigmatic actress, famous as the most spirited
and natkhat daadi of Indian cinema might have
breathed her last yesterday, but her naughty
nonchalance will remain timeless and how!
Defying her age and taking up challenging roles
while being at the wrong end of her '90s, this
outstandingly dashing daadima livened up our
screens with her innocent sparkle.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali pays tribute to Zohra
Sehgal: 'She was a miracle woman, a legend
beyond explanation'
With her brilliant smile and her full-of-life
attitude, Zohra Sehgal has deftly portrayed the
grandmother roles of Bollywood with ease and
comfort. While we are normally subjected to
our daadis being sweet, sublime and rather
soft, Zohra Sehgal came in and changed the
equations with her boisterous avatars. From
television series to Hindi films, she has wowed
us with everything she's been a part of.
Zohra's convictions came alive through her
characters that she had been portraying all
throughout her career that spanned for over
eight decades.
Zohra Sehgal, the grand old diva of Indian
cinema
Fiery, fiesty and full of zest—this spunky
daadima redefined the stereotypical manners
which Bollywood usually uses to portray
grandmoms on screen. Out went the docile,
advise-giving daadi and in came the edgy
grandmom who didnt think twice before riding
a bike or fighting the goons, with a rather
uncanny heroic resemblance. Remember, Chalo
Ishq Ladaaye, anyone? She definitely has set a
new standard breaking the stereotypical
Bollywood norms, defying her age, with
immense aplomb!
The woman of substance, who is popularly
called Laadli of Bollywood, was bestowed with
several honours including the prestigious
Padma Shri and the Padma Vibhushan Awards.
Lighting up our screens with her short cameos
or appearances in films, Zohra Sehgal will
definitely be missed. Zohra Sehgal: Living Life, Queen size! | Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis
