Zohra Sehgal was one of the most loved actresses in Indian cinema. Today`s generation might largely recall her as the loving grandmother in the movies. Born on April 27, 1912, she is one of the first female actors in Indian cinema. She passed away at the age of 102 in 2014. Her presence was enough to light up any scene.
During her time in the industry, Shegla has played several roles and has shared screen space with many talented artists. She played the role of Amitabh Bachchan`s father in `Cheeni Kum` directed by Balki. On her birth anniversary this year, Bachchan took to his Instagram handle to remember Zohra Sehgal.
