Today is the birth anniversary of late Bollywood actress Meena Kumari.
She was known as the 'Tragedy Queen' of Bollywood.
She had suffered a lot till the end of her life but still, she remained one of the greatest actresses in Bollywood.
Known as the ‘King of Tragedy’ Dilip Kumar is regarded as an institution in himself by many cinephiles. The actor introduced natural acting when it was a norm to be loud and dramatic. His acting nuances - whether it be taking a pause before speaking to lowering his eyelids - he is said to have inspired generations of actors that have come after him.
Meena Kumari died in 1972 and was buried in Shia Kabrastan at Mazgaon, Mumbai and years later in 1993, renowned filmmaker and her husband Kamal Amrohi's grave was also buried in the same cemetery, next only to Meena Kumari's tombstone.

However, nothing has been confirmed about the project by the makers as yet.
