Mumtaz
made
the
screen
melt
with
her
big
expressive
eyes,
sensuous
curves
and
her
pout!
Ufff,
her
one
look
was
enough
to
make
millions
go
weak
in
their
knees.
From
a
stunt
heroine
to
being
one
of
the
most
popular
ladies
in
the
70s
and
80s,
the
veteran
actress
carved
her
own
space
in
the
film
industry
as
a
rank
outsider.
Mumtaz
started
her
career
as
a
child
artiste
in
films
in
late
50s
and
did
films
like
Gehra
Daag,
Sanskar
and
others.
At
the
age
of
16,
she
landed
her
first
big
break
opposite
Dara
Singh
in
Faulad
(1963).
In
one
of
the
interviews,
Mumtaz
recalled,
"I
was
told
I
couldn't
be
a
heroine
because
of
an
'English
face'.
But
I
kept
on
trying."
Finally,
the
audience
took
notice
of
her
in
Dilip
Kumar-starrer
Ram
Shyam
in
which
she
played
one
of
the
heroines.
The
actress
went
on
to
play
second
lead
in
films
like
Patthar
Ke
Sanam
and
Humraaz.
But
it
was
Raj
Khanna's
Do
Raaste
which
catapulted
her
to
fame.
Later,
the
duo
went
on
to
do
many
superhit
films
together
like
Sachcha
Jhootha,
Apna
Desh,
Aap
Ki
Kasam
and
Roti.
At
the
peak
of
her
career,
Mumtaz
tied
the
knot
with
NRI
businessman
Mayur
Madhvani
and
settled
abroad.
The
actress
had
revealed
in
a
throwback
interview,
"Kaka
(Rajesh
Khanna)
once
said,
"When
Mumtaz
quit,
I
felt
I'd
lost
my
right
hand." We
made
for
a
hit
onscreen
couple."
13
years
later,
Mumtaz
made
her
on
screen
comeback
in
Shatrughan
Sinha's
1990
film
Aandhiyan
which
marked
the
Hindi
film
debut
of
Bengali
actor
Prosenjit
Chatterjee.
This
was
her
last
feature
film.
As
Mumtaz
turns
a
year
older
today
(July
31,
2021),
we

her
most
popular
