In college, he meets pretty Tilna Oberoi (Twinkle Khanna), and after a few misunderstandings and misadventures, both fall in love. “A beautiful and extremely talented actress and a beautiful and humble human being passes on. Badal (Bobby Deol) is a naive but intelligent young man who comes from a small village to the big city for further studies. Ameen.” Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt said, “You may win your hearts desire, but in the end you are cheated of it by death.” Goodbye Nimmiji”. Thank you Nimmi aunty for all the blessings and love for Bobby on its premiere release. Mourning her death, actor Rishi Kapoor said, “RIP. She left movies to get married to writer-director S Ali Raza, who passed away in 2007. Nimmi worked with top actors of her era, including Raj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand and Ashok Kumar in films “Sazaa”, “Aan”, “Uran Khatola”, “Bhai-Bhai”, “Kundan”, “Mere Mehboob”, “Pooja Ke Phool”, “Akashdeep”, “Love and God”, which was her last film. The film released with the title ‘Savage Princess’ in England and in France as “Mangla, fille des Indes” (Mangla, the daughter of India). Inspired from William Shakespeare’s play “Taming of the Shrew”, the film had Nadia and Dilip Kumar in lead roles but Nimmi as village belle Mangala left a lasting impression on viewers mind. Such was her popularity that an extended dream sequence was added in “Aan” as distributors felt her character dies too early in the film. Though the often played the second fiddle to the popular heroines of her era, she established herself in the roles of ill-fated lover or the feisty village belle. The film had three popular songs - ‘Barsaat me hamse mile tum’, ‘Hawa me udta jaye’ and ‘Meri Patli qamar hai’ - picturised on her.Īfter the success of “Barsaat”, there was no turning back for Nimmi. Raj Kapoor cast her as the second lead in “Barsaat” in 1949.
