Meet the actress, who got married at the age of 15 and became a mom at the age of 17, and she thinks she thinks the uncle on the screen, has been replaced in many movies, and is now…, her name is…
The actress has a career of only 15 years old, got married the same year and became a mother at the age of 17, but is still successful in the film.
Times have evolved in Bollywood, and today, actresses like Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone continue to enjoy box office success even after marriage and maternity.
However, as early as the 1960s, it was difficult for actresses to maintain their careers after marriage. Despite this, a prominent actress broke the norm, having a career that was only 15 years old, married the same year and became a mother at the age of 17, but still succeeded in the film.
The actress in question is Moushumi Chatterjee, one of the most successful names in Hindi and Bengali films. Born in Indira Chatterjee in 1952, she became a child artist in the 1967 Bangladeshi film. Balika Badhuit turned out to be a huge blow that made her overnight. Despite her early success, Moushumi initially wanted to focus on her studies. However, at the request of her family, she married Jayant Mukherjee, son of legendary music composer and singer Hemant Kumar.
Married at the age of 17:
In an interview with Lehren Retro, Moushumi Chatterjee revealed the emotional reasons behind her early marriage. She said: “My father was very close to my sister, who was in the final stage of cancer. Her last wish was to see me get married. My father-in-law suggested we should get married. I had to give up the exam and at the same time, I got the movie.
Her second Bengali film, Parineeta (1969), proved to be a greater success than her debut.
She further added: “At the age of 17, I became a mother. I had my own Mercedes. I didn't even know what success meant at the time. I was so happy to see my face on the big screen.”
She is a high-paying actress:
In the 1970s, Moushumi Chatterjee became one of the highest-paid actresses in Bollywood, known for always posting box office hits. As the 1980s grew, she transformed into a supportive character in Hindi and Bengali films. One of her most famous performances was in the 1991 film Ghayal, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, where she portrayed Sunny Deol's sister son.
It was reported that there was a moment when Sunny was late and spent a lot of time on the phone, which angered Moushumi. She reportedly scolded him and reminded him not to damage his father, Dharmendra. After the incident, Sunny was said to be punctual and disciplined during the filming process.
She thinks that uncle's romantic actor:
Moushumi Chatterjee once revealed Kapil Sharma Performance She once called Shashi Kapoor “Uncle”. The reason, she explained, is that when she entered the film industry after she got married, most of her co-stars had been established and were much bigger than her. Shashi Kapoor is one of them, an experienced and respected actor in the industry, so out of respect she naturally calls him “Uncle.”
Moushumi Chatterjee once shared an interesting anecdote in the collection of the movie Naina where she paired with Shashi Kapoor. She recalls that before filming the romantic song, Shashi Kapoor tapped her out and gently told her not to be romantic on the spot, so don't call him “Uncle.”
He suggested that she call him Shashi Ji or Shashi Baba. Moushumi agrees to call him “Shashi Ji”, and later the two end up playing several romantic roles in the movie.
