Madhubala's sister wants Kareena Kapoor Khan to play late actress in biopic

Madhur Brij, the younger sister of Madhubala, says that all the actresses of today are very beautiful but she wants Bollywood diva Kareena Kapoor Khan to play the late actress if the biopic is made on her as the “Jab We Met” heroine has the same naughtiness that the former used to have.

“There was a time when I wanted Madhuri Dixit to play the role of Madhubala in her biopic but now it has to be Kareena Kapoor Khan as she has the same naughtiness that Madhubala used to have and she is a beautiful actress too,” said Madhur on the sidelines of the unveiling of the wax figure of the late actress by Madame Tussauds, Delhi, on Thursday.

So, was the legendary actress equally naughty at home too? “Madhubala was very simple at home. She was elder but never bossy and she used to encourage all of us to come in films,” said Madhur, draped elegantly in a white sari with her head covered by a scarf.

Born in 1933, Madhubala — often regarded as the most iconic female celebrity of Hindi cinema — worked in films between 1942 and 1962.

Some of her widely acclaimed films include “Mahal” (1949), “Amar” (1954), “Mr. & Mrs. ’55” (1955), “Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi” (1958), “Mughal-e-Azam” (1960) and “Barsaat Ki Raat” (1960).

Madhubala died on February 23, 1969 after a prolonged illness.

Talking about what is the one thing actresses of today should learn from the late actress, Madhur said it has to be strength and patience.

“The one thing that film actresses of today can learn from Madhubala is to see how bravely a girl fought who knew that she had just two years left to live, she never gave up her hopes and expectations. She always used to think that she will be fine soon, will get her life back and will continue to work,” she told IANS.

“The actresses of today are very successful but they should learn strength, patience from her,” she added.

Madhur said she was overjoyed at seeing the love and respect Madhubala gets even after her death.

“Very few films of her did good business at box office while the rest of her films didn’t do well but I am surprised to see that she was called the Venus of Indian screen,” she said and added, “I feel happy looking at this figure but I am upset also from inside as I want to ask God that why he gave her such a short life. This will be my question to God all my life. A girl who was affectionate, nice, beautiful and a good soul has gone so early.”

“Had she been alive, she would have worked in much more bigger films than ‘Mughal-e-Azam’.”

Madhubala’s wax figure has been inspired by her legendary character “Anarkali” from the film “Mughal-e-Azam”. The figure has been created beautifully by the artists of Madame Tussauds.

There were many artists who worked for over six months to create the figure of the actress with fabrics and accessories sourced from India and put up beautifully by artists abroad.

Celebrities

Aug 102017

There are some films which become blockbusters and then there are movies like ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ which attain cult status and become a landmark that will be difficult for anyone to reach anytime soon. Today, our beloved movie, which redefined friendship, romance and bromance for this generation, completed 16 years and even today it feels like it was only yesterday that Aakash, Sameer and Siddharth walked into our lives. Like any proud father, actor and director Farhan Akhtar too couldn’t hold back his emotions and took to Twitter to share his happiness and joy.

#DilChahtaHai turns a sweet 16 today. Thankful for the love you continue to show it. Ya toh aapka lagav gehra hai, ya film 3D thi.. big hug

— Farhan Akhtar (@FarOutAkhtar) August 10, 2017

We are not exaggerating at all when we say that no matter how many movies come and pass, ‘Dil Chahta Hai’, a coming-of-age film always melts our hearts and wells up our eyes and is here to stay forever. The struggles of dating, falling in love with an older woman and the ups and downs in a friendship, were perfectly captured in the movie and we don’t think there’s anyone else who can portray this camaraderie as well as Akshay Khanna, Aamir Khan and Saif Ali Khan. While, people still anticipate a sequel to this movie, wondering if it will be as good as the original one, we are still tripping over nostalgia.

So, folks to refresh your memory, here are some of the iconic dialogues from the movie that bring a smile on our faces even today.

You and your best friend still use this dialogue as an inside joke.

“Ya to dosti gehri hai, ya to yeh photo 3D hai.”

Raise your hands if you still abide by these words religiously.

“Hum cake ke liye kahin b ja sakte hai.”

When Akash cracked the lamest of the jokes in front of Shalini and still managed to win our hearts.

“Kitni ajeeb baat hai…hum teeno Sydney ja rahe hai. Tum, mai aur yeh flight!”

When Sid drew a boundary in friendship and we cried a bucket over it. We are sure even you must have used this dialogue on your friends to win any situation.

“Har dosti mein ek hadd hoti hai jo nahi paar karni chahiye.”

The best pick up line ever.

“Yeh sach hai ki main aapse pyaar karta hoon and I am not sorry for that.”

And this…

“Pyaar soch samajh kar thodi kiya jaata hai, bas ho jaata hai.”

And the winner is…

“Mujhe yakeen hai ki main sirf isliye janma hun ki tumse pyaar kar sakun, tum sirf isliye ki ek din meri ban jao.”

This one line basically sums up our friends’ lives in a nutshell when it comes to dating.

“Iska koli bharosa nahi…Aaj Pooja, kal koi dooja.”

We guess Aamir Khan still abides by this statement.

“Perfection ko improve karna muskil hota hai.”

This movie gave us a life lesson like no one else.

“Is ret ko jitna apne haath mein bandh karne ki koshish kare, yeh utni hi haath se nikal jaati hai.”

Rachel and Ross, Ross and Rachel – they both belong together and they were “always meant to be”, but if you look closely, you’ll realize that their relationship is not so perfect. Their relationship was actually quite unhealthy, with him always being so possessive, and making her prioritize him before everything, even her career. Oh, and how can we forget how he slept with someone like two minutes after deciding to ‘take a break’ from their relationship.

Ross was honestly the worst one out of all of them, and a Twitter user is here to argue that Rachel should’ve ended up Joey instead. Yes, Joey has his flaws, but you can tell that he has a good heart.
