Sadhana (1941-2015): She wanted to be remembered as 'khubsoorat'

Sadhana is yet another example to the statistics of how the film industry largely doesn't really turn back to check on its people once they are past their prime and fade into the oblivion. Even though Sadhana enjoyed the position of being one of the most sought after actresses in '60s, she was easily forgotten once she decided to step into the shadows. Sadhana had chosen to stay away from the media glare as by her own admission she wanted to be remembered as the "khoobsurat" Sadhana. What she hadn't chosen, however, was that alone in her old age, she had a hard time struggling to keep her Santacruz home and she had to seek police protection for the same. Not many from the industry, except her old friends Helen and her family and Nanda came forward to help her.
