Special Pics : The magic of Madhubala

Kamal Amrohi, the director of Madhubala's superhit film Mahal was also besotted with her. Unlike in the case of Kidar Sharma, this time it was a two-way love affair. Despite Islam permitting a man to marry more than once, Madhubala was reportedly not happy with the idea of sharing Amrohi with his first wife and children. She wanted him to get a divorce before tying the knot with her. Amrohi flatly refused to give in to Madhubala's demands and that was the end of the road for their relationship.

The tables were turned when Madhubala proposed to her Badal co-star Premnath. The affair was short-lived and ended on an acrimonious note.

Madhubala had a long affair with actor and frequent co-star Dilip Kumar. They first met on the sets of Jwar Bhata (1944), and worked together again in the film Har Singaar (1949) which was never completed or released. It was two years later during the filming of, Tarana (1951), that their off-screen relationship began. They also became a popular romantic screen team appearing in a total of four films together.

Madhubala was known for keeping a low profile, never making public appearances (with the exception of the premiere for the film Bahut Din Huwe in 1954) and she rarely gave interviews. Film media often speculated over her personal life and romantic liaisons and Dilip Kumar was repeatedly mentioned. These rumours were confirmed with a bold and rare public appearance during their courtship in 1955. Madhubala was escorted by Dilip Kumar for the premier of his film Insaniyat (1955), a film with which she had no other association. (Wikipedia)
