Actresses who wish to play Madhubala

Madhubala Birth Anniversary 2024: Madhubala, born as Mumtaz Jehan Begum Dehlavi on February 14, 1933, was a legendary actress who graced the silver screen with unparalleled beauty and timeless talent. Often referred to as 'The Venus of Indian Cinema' and 'The Beauty with Tragedy,' Madhubala left an indelible mark on Bollywood during the golden era of Hindi cinema. If one were to play the leading role in Madhubala's biopic, it would be considered an honour. Several actresses have expressed their desire to portray the legendary actress in her biopic. On Madhubala's Birth Anniversary, let's explore the list of actresses who have shared their aspirations to bring her life story to the silver screen.

Yami Gautam:

During an interview, Yami expressed her interest in playing Madhubala's role in a biopic. She mentioned her admiration for Madhubala, stating, "I have always said this in my makeup room because I used to watch her songs at night. So at night, I have this habit till date, of watching either some old songs or some old interviews. It could be Madhubala Ji's to Smita Ji's interviews and my God! How well-spoken they were. I wish again, one of those actors were still alive. There was so much more that was left to be seen, and I wish she was here today because she's one of my most favorite actors."

Ananya Panday:

After watching "The Crown" and being inspired by Elizabeth Debicki's performance as Princess Diana, Ananya Panday expressed her desire to work in a biopic. She said, "I loved how she completely became the character and yet brought so much of herself to it. I would love to do a biopic, transforming myself into someone who already existed. I would love to act in a biopic of Madhubala Ji, Zeenat Aman Ji, Waheeda [Rehman] Ji, or Rekha Ji."

Kriti Sanon:

In a conversation, Kriti Sanon shared her admiration for Madhubala and expressed her interest in portraying her in a biopic. "I would love to do a biopic on Madhubala. She was very pretty. I really admire her," said Kriti. She added, "She is someone who is still alive in our hearts, and people still remember her. I feel she had a life that can actually be told. I think not many people know about her story, and we can tell them."

Pallavi Sharda:

If given the chance to feature in a biopic, actress Pallavi Sharda would choose the life of the late Indian cine icon Madhubala. "I would like to do a biopic on Madhubala. I like her story; her life was interesting, and there is romanticism in her life. I think it would be an interesting story," shared Pallavi, who's awaiting the release of "Hawaizaada."
