Nargis, whose real name was Fatima Rashid, is regarded as one of the most celebrated actors of Indian cinema and has films such as Andaaz, Barsaat, Awaara, and Academy Award-nominated Mother India to her credit in a career spanning three decades.

She won the National Award for best actress for Raat Aur Din (1967).

She married her Mother India co-star Sunil Dutt in 1958. Together they had three children: Sanjay, politician Priya Dutt and Namrata Dutt.

Nargis died of pancreatic cancer on 3 May, 1981, three days before Sanjay Dutt's debut film Rocky hit the theatres.
