Her fringe hairstyle, inspired by Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday, suggested by the film’s director, RK Nayyar (whom she later married), became a cult. After her debut in the Sindhi film Abana (1958), filmmaker S Mukerji signed her for Love In Simla (1960) opposite son Joy Mukerji. She first appeared as a chorus girl in the song Mudh mudh ke na dekh in Raj Kapoor’s Shri 420 (1955).
Bravely battling financial woes, loneliness, uncalled-for court cases and finally cancer… Sadhana proved that she was far more about grit than mere glamour…Ī look at her rollercoaster life… STAR TREKīorn in Karachi in 1941, young Sadhana Shivdasani migrated to India after the Partition with her family. Hailed as one of the most stunning faces to have graced celluloid, Sadhana sadly had to opt for a premature retirement – a thyroid disorder having played havoc with her countenance. The evocative Tu Jahan Jahan Chalega Mera Saaya Saath Hoga and the raag-based Nainon Mein Badra Chhaye (both from Mera Saaya), with its metaphors of sindoor, shrine and sacred love… owe their allure as much to Madan Mohan’s tunes as to their reminiscence of Sadhana. The muse behind Shakeel Badayuni’s poetic elegy, Mere Mehboob Tujhe Meri Mohabbat Ki Kasam (Mere Mehboob), a veiled Sadhana unravelled sheer beauty. Jahan Mein Aisa Kaun Hai for her image of a sensitive wife. Abhi Na Jaao Chhodh Kar (Hum Dono) … for its delicate sensuality. Sadhana’s other numbers remain as memorable. Having enjoyed around 150 million views on YouTube, the number has kept actress Sadhana’s memories alive just as it has reiterated her mystique. The song of yearning even made its way into new-age films Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Bombay Talkies. Lag Jaa Gale Ke Phir Yeh Haseen Raat Ho Na Ho (Woh Kaun Thi?), a dirge about transient time has outlived eras.
