There is a perception in the Hindi cinema that after a while, people do not like to see actresses on screen because they do not get replaced as the main actress and the characters of old mother or sister do not do one time hit heroines. But there are some exceptions like Rakhi Gulzar. Rakhi, who is evergreen like her husband Gulzar, has set a precedent in the Hindi cinema world that is worthy. Apart from pairing with the same actor, playing the role of his mother is an act of courage and this task has been successfully done by Rakhi.
Rakhee Gulzar made her film debut with the Bengali film “Badhu Baran” for the first time. This was his first film at the age of 20. The film proved to be a hit and Rakhi Gulzar started getting work in Hindi films. Rakhi started working in Bollywood in 1970 with the film “Jeevan Mriti”. This film was also a hit. After this, in 1971, he registered his name in the successful heroines in Hindi cinema through “shy”.
