Sharmila
Tagore and the Nawab of Pataudi – A
lifetime of love |
|
Their
marriage has been one of the most talked about events, for
a long time, in the history of Indian film industry. For Sharmila
Tagore, a Bengali Hindu girl, hailing from no less a family
than Rabindranath Tagore’s, to marry Mansoor Ali Khan, the
Nawab of Pataudi, also a cricketer, was not a small matter.

In
spite of everyone predicting that the marriage was not going
to work out for long, it still continues to thrive, after
more than 30 years. Their marriage is one of the most successful
ones of the film world. A lucky discovery Sharmila Tagore
was literally a ‘discovery’ of Satyajit Ray. She started
her career very early in life, with Satyajit Ray’s ‘Apur
Sansar’, which gave her a distinction from the onset. She
began her Hindi film career with Shammi Kapoor, in ‘Kashmir
Ki Kali’ and ‘An Evening in Paris’.
