Today's unheard story is very different. This is not the story of any famous actress of Hindi cinema but of a theater artist who was surrounded by high-ranking people like Jawaharlal Nehru, Dilip Kumar, kings and emperors all her life, who is the creator of the best film in the history of Indian cinema, Mughal-e-Azam. The important part was left out. The only reason was that Shehnaaz belonged to a royal family, where leave alone coming to films, she was not even allowed to watch films.
Princess Shehnaz, born in a royal family, grew up in a mansion and wore gold and silver brocade clothes, took her first to Bombay and then to the theatre. When Bala's beautiful Shehnaaz broke the tradition of the royal family and worked in the theatre, a crowd of spectators started gathering. While some people cheered for the royal family, others remained stunned after seeing a royal girl dressed in gold and silver on the stage for the first time. Not only the general public but also the famous filmmaker K. Asif became his admirer in a single glance. In order to make Anarkali in Mughal-e-Azam, many scenes were filmed on her, but when her family got to know about it, what Shehnaz feared happened. The husband also beat her and separated her from the children.
