BINARAI ,HINDI LEADING ACTRESS DIED 2009 DECEMBER 6



BINARAI  ,HINDI LEADING ACTRESS 
13 july 1932- 2009 DECEMBER 6




Bina Rai (Hindi: बीना राय; 13 July 1932 – 6 December 2009), aka "Beena Roy", was a leading actress, primarily of the black and white era of Hindi cinema.[2] She is most known for her roles in classics such as Anarkali (1953) and Taj Mahal (1963), and won the Filmfare Award for Best Actress for her performance in the film Ghunghat (1960
Early life[edit source]
Bina Rai, born as Krishna Sarin, hailed from Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. In 1947, her family was uprooted from Lahore, Pakistan during the communal frenzy and was resettled in Uttar Pradesh. She went to school in Lahore and then attended IT college in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. Bina Rai lived in Kanpur until she moved out for acting. She had to convince her parents to allow her to act in films, she claimed that she went on a hunger strike to convince her disapproving parents to let her join films, and they finally relented.
Career[edit source]

Bina Rai was a first year student of Arts in the Isabella Thoburn College of Lucknow in 1950[citation needed], when she came across an advertisement for a talent contest, she applied and received a call from the sponsors. Although she had been active in college dramatics, a film career was never within her field of vision. Nevertheless, she went to Bombay to participate in the contest, where she won along with the 25,000 rupees in prize money,[dubious – discuss] a leading role in Kishore Sahu's Kali Ghata (1951), which became her film debut, and also featured Kishore Sahu in the lead role.[3][4][5]

Actually, Bina roy was born on 13 July 1932, and she signed the contract on her first film on 13 July 1950, namely Kali Ghatta. Her first film released on 13 July 1952, on the happy day she was engaged to Prem Nath. On 2 september 1952 she married actor Prem Nath, whose sister Krishna was married to the actor-director Raj Kapoor, and was part of the Kapoor family.[6] They had acted together in some films, the first movie in which he was paired with Bina Rai was Aurat (1953), a Bollywood version of the tragic Biblical tale of Samson and Delilah (1949). The film was not a hit, but Bina Rai and Prem Nath fell in love with each other. They married and soon set up their own production unit, known as P.N. Films. Their first film from P.N. Films was Shagufa (1954) and they had pinned high hopes on it, but audiences rejected it. Neither Bina Rai's elfin charm nor Prem Nath's sensitive portrayal of the role of a doctor could save Shagufa from being a flop. And the films that followed Shagufa – Prisoner of Golconda, Samunder and Watan disappeared almost as soon as they hit the theatre screens. Thus the Prem Nath-Bina Rai pairing never clicked on the screen.[7]

However, her films with leading man Pradeep Kumar remain her best-remembered performances, where she played the title role in Anarkali (1953), Taj Mahal and Ghunghat, for which she won the Filmfare Award for Best Actress.[8]

In the 1970s, her son Prem Krishen became an actor and had one big hit; Dulhan Wohi Jo Piya Man Bhaye (1977), but couldn't sustain the momentum, so he turned producer, with the Cinevistaas banner, which went on produce TV series such as Kathasagar, Gul Gulshan Gulfam and Junoon. He launched his daughter Akanksha Malhotra as an actress in 2002 in his home productions, claiming that she reminds him so much of his mother Bina Rai.
Bina Rai stopped acting in films many years ago, claiming that women of a certain age don't get good roles. She also talks fondly of her husband Prem Nath who had died on 3 November 1992. In 2002, their son, Kailash (Monty) Nath released a tribute album, to his father on the occasion of his 10th death anniversary and 76th birth anniversary, titled Amar Premnath, released by Saregama.[9][10] His grandson, Siddharth Malhotra, directed the successful TV series on doctors; Sanjivani (2004).[4]
Death[edit source]

Bina Rai died on 6 December 2009, following a cardiac arrest. She is survived by her two sons, Prem Kishen and Kailash (Monty), and grandchildren Sidharth and Akansha. Prem Kishen had a short term career as a film actor before shifting to film and television production; Cinevistaas Limited. His grandson, Siddharth Malhotra is a film director, who made his debut with Dharma Productions's We Are Family (2010).[5][11]

Telugu, 
Tamil, 
Kannada, and 
Malayalam, as well as in a few
 Hindi films

Early life[edit]


She was born as Vasundhara Devi in a wealthy family originally from Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh. They moved to Madras (present Chennai) in Tamil Nadu, where Kanchana was born.[3] She learnt Bharata Natyam and Music.

Career[edit]


Her father suffered business losses, and she went to work as an air hostess to support her family, when she was discovered by the film director C. V. Sridhar on a plane where he was a passenger. 

He gave her the lead role in his film Kaadhalikka Neramillai in 1963 and changed her name to Kanchana, since there was already another actress named Vasundhara Devi, mother of star Vyjayanthimala.[4] Kanchana acted in over 150 films – Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi, with a successful acting career.


She had extremely successful career in Tamil films especially between 1964 and 1977 as lead heroine. 
Her critically acclaimed films include 
Kaadhalikka Neramillai, 
Thedi Vantha Thirumagal, 
Parakkum Paavai,

She retired from films in the early 1980s.[5] 

In 2005, she was presented with the MGR award and
 in 2007 the ANR Swarna Kankanam award.[6][7]

In Tamil, she acted with R. Muthuraman in about 19 films including Kaadhalikka Neramillai, Kodimalar, Thulabharam (Tamil version), Thangai, Bama Vijayam and Avalukendru Oru Manam. 

















She also acted with Sivaji Ganesan in Sivandha Mann, Vilayattu Pillai and Avan Oru Sarithiram. 


She did two films with MGR, Naan Yen Pirandhen and Parakkum Paavai.

 Apart from that, she was paired with many Tamil heroes like A. V. M. Rajan, S. S. Rajendran, Gemini Ganesan , Jaishankar, Ravichandran and Sivakumar.Her last film as lead heroine was Avan Oru Sarithiram in 1977 in Tamil.



She was appropriately known as the Queen of the Seventies in South Indian film industry. Her performances in the movies Pavitra Bandham, Manchivaadu were well appreciated and recognised.[8] She played the role of Uttara in the film Veerabhimanyu. The following year she acted in the Annapurna pictures film Aatma Gowravam with veteran director K. Viswanath.

She acted with Krishnam Raju in some glamorous roles in 
Neeti Nijayitee (1972), 
Parivartana (1975), 
Nenante Nene and 
Dharma Daata. 


Not only in social roles, she acted some mythological roles in pictures likeShri Krishnavataram (1967). 

After retirement as heroine, she acted in some good films including Ananda Bhairavi and Shrimad Virat Veerabrahmendra Swami Charitra in 1984.





After her retirement as a heroine, she acted in some good films including Ananda Bhairavi, Shrimad Virat Veerabrahmendra Swami Charitra, Johnny, Sigappu Rojakkal, Mouna Ragam and more as a supporting role.



There were rumours floating around a few years ago about her living in penury. A popular Tamil magazine, Kumudam, published a report that Kanchana was relying on the prasadam served at a Temple. However, in a press release, Kanchana refuted all this with deep anguish. 


She cited her existing legal tangles as a reason for reluctance for not suing the magazine.

Personal life[edit]

The actress later won back her properties in T.Nagar, Chennai of around 6 grounds, with the Court ruling against her parents. It was learnt that one day her father took signature of Kanchana on a white paper and without her knowledge converted total assets on his name. After a long legal battle she won and regained her wealth.

Kanchana along with her Sister Girija Pandey donated their property in Chennai worth then around Rs. 150 million to Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) on 25 October 2010.[9][10]
