From wikipedia
Kamal Amrohi, (born in Amroha, Uttar Pradesh on 17 January 1918) is an Indian film director and is one of the most original voices in Indian cinema of the post-Independence period. He was well known as a writer and poet in Urdu in 1938 he left Amroha to study in Lahore where famous singer k.l.saigal discovered him and took him to Bombay to work for Sohrab Modi`s Minerva Movietoon. His first film was chaliya before beginning to work for the cinema as a script-writer and then director and his best work for the cinema is also remarkable for its literary and poetic qualities. Although he only made four films, they include two masterpieces, Mahal made in 1949 for Bombay Talkies and Pakeezah, first conceived in 1958 but not brought to the screen until 1972. As script-writer he was responsible for his work on the films of Sorahb Modi and K. Asif, including the dialogues for the latter's famous 1960 epic Mughal-e-Azam. He was among the four dialogue writers in Mughal-e-Azam.

Both as script-writer and director, his work is notable for its highly charged sexuality, returning again and again to themes of illicit or obsessive passion. As a director, he developed a unique style that combines a stylized direction with minimalist performance-style, very different from the highly expressive acting-style common in much of Indian cinema of the period. Both of his famous films express an extremely personal vision of the world and are not so much films as symphonic poems on celluloid.

Amrohi married three times; his first wife was Bano, Jaddan Bai's (nargis`s mother) maid, who died of asthma. His second wife was Mehmoodie. He married Meena Kumari, the star of Pakeezah when she was 19 and Kamal was 34. They met on set and married in 1952, living as husband and wife from August 14, 1953. The marriage ended in 1964. They married again but Meena Kumari, who had become an alcoholic by then, died only a few days after the film was released on March 31, 1972. Amrohi himself died in Bombay on 11 February 1993, ten years after making his last film, Razia Sultan (1983). He was buried next to Kumari in an Iranian graveyard.

Kamal Amrohi had three children from his second wife Mehmoodie; two sons, Shandaar and Taajdaar, both of whom worked with their father in Razia Sultan, and a daughter Rukhsar. It is alleged that Amrohi didn't want children with Meena because she was non-Sayyed.






Rita Hayworth (born Margarita Carmen Dolores Cansino on October 17, 1918 – May 14, 1987), was an American actress of Spanish and Anglo-Irish descent who reached fame during the 1940s as the era's leading sex symbol. Although it was not popular for someone to be Hispanic back in the 40's, Rita Hayworth is now widely regarded to be the first Hispanic-American 'sex goddess' in 'Hollywood' films.
