Most people probably don't even know who she is.

She was second person to ever win Filmfare Best Actress Award back in 1950s.

And I just looked at her Filmography and I think she maybe has a world record.

She has appeared in films in 8 decades!!!!!!! 😲😲😲 yet she is still widely unknown.

1940s

1950s

1960s

1970s

1980s

1990s

2000s

2010s

Her latest release was Chennai Express where she plated grandmother to SRK - such a shame I didn't even notice this when I watched it.

It's just that audience sometimes give importance to leads rather than supporting cast.
Another actress like her was Zohra Sehgal.RIP

Poor Sonam, won't even have a performance worth noting about in her lifetime. 😒

Yeah Zohra also started her acting career in the 1940s - but she didn't have any films released in this current decade, so her work does in 7 decades. Kamini has 8 decades of work.

I know people know her, but the fact she is so accomplished - she deserves much more recognition. And she is still alive today.

I'm sure when she dies, there will be huge tributes - but would be nice for us to realise her achievements while she is alive - would be so nice for her.

Precursor of Kamini Katty? Jokes apart, I only know/recognize her because Dilip Kumar was in love with her once upon a time.

she and dilip kumar had the longestaffair, dilip kumar so wanted to marry her, but due to her family issues she refused to do so. she was a very well educated girl of that time belonged to a very reputed family.

She is very much known and was considered among best and most beautiful actresses of her times. I just remember her from granny roles but have read about her illustrious career in newspapers and online.
