Lalita Pawar

Lalita Pawar

Lalita Pawar (birth name: Lalitabai Hanuman Prasad ; born April 18, 1916 in Indore , † February 24, 1998 in Pune , Maharashtra ) was an Indian actress of Hindi and marathic films .

Life

Pawar began her film acting career as a child with Narhar Damodar Sarpotdar's film company "Aryan Film" and initially appeared under the stage name "Ambu". Her silent films and early sound films were made exclusively under the direction of Sarpotdars or GP Pawars, whom she married. Her film Diler Jigar (1931) is one of the few Indian silent films that have survived to this day and are kept by the National Film Archive of India in Pune . Lalita Pawar appeared frequently in leading roles alongside Chandrarao Kadam at the time. Pawar was also a film producer for Duniya Kya Hai (1937). In the early 1940s, she starred alongside S. Nazir , Eddie Bilimoria and Trilok Kapoor . One of her most important roles was that of Anandibai in Ramshastri (1944), a cool calculating vamp in the style of Lady Macbeth . She made particularly effective use of her slightly damaged left eye, which she had suffered in an accident on the set of an early stunt film, and later made it her trademark.

The Guinness Book of Records lists Lalita Pawar as a Bollywood actress with the longest film career, it lasted 70 years.
