So sad. 😭

I remember her mostly for her roles in B & W movies. She was so funny in her dance with Kishore Kumar to "Raunchy" on Half ticket where she tries to steal back his Maa ki Nishaani that has the diamond Pran aka African chacha has stolen.

Also as the Parsi lady who gives a lift to Aamir Khan and Pooja Bhatt in Dil hai ke manta nahi.

Glad to see someone here remembers her from her B&W movies..😊 she was a genius comedian back in the 50s & 60s along with Johnny Walker. But i also loved her negative roles in Sangdil 1952 & Dil Apna Aur Preet Parayi 1960. You can watch these movies ..they're pretty good.

I have watched both Sangdil and Dil apna aur preet parayi. In DAAPP she was deliciously malicious!!

Her expressions in this song are so good! Watch around 3:15 when realization dawns on her that Meenaji is pining away for Raaj Kumar!

Cannot forget how she preened as Dilip Kumar sang "ye Hawa ye raat ye chandni" to her in Talat's dulcet tones!

She also played vamp in Bandish with Ashok Kumar and Meena Kumari.

Here's the scene from Half ticket. Shammiji comes on at about 0.36
