Once upon a time actresses like Devika Rani and Zubeidaa ruled Indian cinema. Are actresses today getting equal opportunities in the over $2 billion film industry?
March 8 is International Women's Day, an appropriate time to take a look at the role of women in Indian cinema over the last 100 years.
When Dadasaheb Phalke, the Father of Indian Cinema, released his "Raja Harischandra" in 1913, women used to shun movies and it was left to male artists to play female characters.
Times changed by the 1930s. Devika Rani, Zubeidaa, Mehtab, Shobhana Samarth - all women from affluent families -- entered the movie business and changed the face of Indian cinema by redefining the importance of women in films. They were followed.

Everyone loves a Cinderella story and one that has a ghastly family, a spunky heroine, and one Prince Charming who can be a bit of a dope some of the time! The film, which introduced the lovely Sadhana to the screen, is one of the most fun and charming romances of the 60s. Love in Simla was one of the biggest hits of 1960 and deservedly so, the sparkling repartee and gorgeous cinematography makes it a gem to enjoy even now.
Unlike most Cinderellas who are the docile type, Sadhana plays the plucky and feisty heroine Sonia. She’s the unlucky orphan living with her genial uncle (Kishore Sahu), his tart-tongued wife (Shobhana Samarth), and their beautiful but vain daughter Sheela (Azra). They live in luxury in their Simla mansion, while relying on Sonia as their servant and as a burden. Simla was once the summer playground during the colonial period,...

The way Aamir Khan fits the tag of a 'Perfectionist' to a 'T', the only word that justifies today's Birthday girl Kajol is 'Dynamite'. For starters, Kajol was born in Mumbai in to a Bengali-Marathi family who has got their terra firma in Bollywood. With the legendary actresses Tanuja as her mother and the late Shobhana Samarth as her grandmother, it was only but natural for Kajol to take to acting much faster than a fish would take to water. Kajol, who made her celluloid debut with Bekhudi, went onto do films (with practically all the top heroes of Bollywood) so much so that she became the 'success formula' for all the film makers! Hers is possibly the only 'Bio-Data' in the whole of Bollywood that can claim to have nothing less than hits, smash hits and super hits! The testimonials to the same stands in the form of Baazigar,...
