ABOUT Sharmila tagore

Sharmila Tagore: A Legacy in Indian Cinema Sharmila Tagore, born December 8, 1944, is a celebrated Indian actress renowned for her contributions to Hindi and Bengali cinema. Her career, spanning over six decades, showcases a remarkable range, portraying both traditional and modern women with equal finesse. A recipient of two National Film Awards, a Filmfare Award, and the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award, Tagore’s talent has earned her widespread critical acclaim and a Padma Bhushan, India's third-highest civilian honour. Her cinematic journey began at 14 with Satyajit Ray's The World of Apu, a collaboration that continued with several other iconic films like Devi, Nayak, and Aranyer Din Ratri, solidifying her position in Bengali cinema. Her foray into Hindi films with Kashmir Ki Kali led to a string of successful movies, including Aradhana, Amar Prem, and Mausam, earning her a Filmfare Best Actress award and a National Film Award for Best Actress. She also garnered critical appreciation for her performances in Anupama, Satyakam, and Chupke Chupke. Tagore's career saw intermittent appearances in later years, notably in Mira Nair's Mississippi Masala and Goutam Ghose's Abar Aranye, earning her a National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress. After a 13-year hiatus, she returned to the screen in the 2023 drama Gulmohar. Beyond acting, she served as the chairperson of the Central Board of Film Certification and as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. Her marriage to Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi resulted in three children, including actors Saif Ali Khan and Soha Ali Khan. Tagore's enduring legacy rests on her exceptional acting prowess and her significant contributions to Indian cinema.
