Her family had nothing to do with films. She was born a Hindu to a Sindhi father and Punjabi mother but after Partition they came from Sindh to Bombay. Becoz they were very poor,she started dancing as an extra from the age of 3. Eventually she became assistant, lover and eventually mistress of choreographer Sohanlal.She even had kids from him but as he was married, he refused to give them his name. Eventually she married a Pathan (she converted to Islam) who gave his name to her children. Interesting, na?
