Madhubala, or Mumtaz Jehan Begum Dehlavi, an Indian actress known as "The Venus of Indian Cinema," was born in Delhi, India in 1933.
Madhubala (Mumtaz Jehan Begum Dehlavi; 14 February 1933 – 23 February 1969) was an Indian film actress and producer. In a career spanning more than 20 years, she was primarily active for a decade only, but by the time of her death in 1969, she had acted in over 60 films. She is still held in high respect half a century later, with her representations of strong-willed, independent heroines considered as a striking change from the normal portrayals of women on the Indian screen.
