Rakhi Hindi Actress Biography
Raakhee Gulzar (born August 15, 1947 in India), also known as Raakhee or Rakhi, is an Indian Bollywood actress originally from the state of West Bengal .
Rakhee hails from a customary Bengali family, which means unlike most of the Bengali beauties, Rakhee did not have any filmy background. It is never easy to make it big in the film industry if you don't have your roots out there, people say. Rakhee seem to prove everybody wrong by her skillful acting. Raakhee Gulzar's career spans from the late 1960s to 2003.
Raakhee won rave reviews for her first Bengali film "Badhu Baran" 1967 in Calcutta .
But the initial years were not at all easy for this beautiful lady. Her talent as an actress was recognized by none other than the producer-actor Sunil Dutt himself. It was he who casted her in his movie "Reshma Aur Shera", but she never seemed to get much of the attention for this film, yet! She never gave up. She kept on doing small roles in movies like "Falak" and "Laal Pathhar" where the presence of already established actress like Hema Malini proved to be costly for Rakhee.
Her marriage to Ajoy Biswas, a producer and journalist, seemed to show a ray of light in her career. But when she was not selected in the screen test for the film, which her own husband was directing, her hope diminished.
However it was Rajashri Films that sparked up her hope again in the film called "Jeevan Mrityu" casting with the then rage Dharmendra. The movie was a big hit. The song 'Jhilmil Sitaron Ka Aangan Hoga" became a household song. With the good news of starting her career afresh came the bad news, the divorce with her husband Ajoy Biswas. That did not hinder her acting career.
She shot to fame in the 1971 film "Sharmilee" where she played a double role opposite Shashi Kapoor. She has since starred in many more Hindi blockbuster films most notably "Kabhie Kabhie" (1976), "Muqaddar Ka Sikander" (1977), "Trishul "(1978), "Kaala Patthar" (1979) and "Lawaaris" (1981). She also did some memorable films like "Daag"(1973), "Tapasya" (1976) , "Jurmana" (1979) and "Bemisal"(1982).
She seemed to work with all the heartthrobs of her time, including Dev Anand, Shashi Kapoor, Rajesh Khanna and Dharmendra. In later years she went on to act with Vinod Khanna, Vinod Mehra. But she was best paired with none other that Big B himself.When she was in the peak of her career she re-married the Filmmaker Gulzar, but unfortunately even this marriage didn't seem to work.
Around this time she made a comeback with films like "Laawaris", "Tapasya", "Kaala Patthar", "Kabhie Kabhie", "Trishul" and "Muqaddar Ka Siqandar", the films that went on to celebrate their Silver Jubilee.
Raakhee became an alcoholic and for a time drank heavily. During this mid-career period Raakhee excelled in dramatic roles and was compared to the 'queen of tragedy' Meena Kumari. Ironically both of her ex-husband's reportedly had affairs with Kumari. This comparison rankled Raakhee to no end and must have caused her great angst as Raakhee was a great dramatic actress in her own right.
Unlike the other actresses who refused to do a mother's role in the later years of their career, Rakhee never seem to mind doing that. For her it is only a part of her career and that does not seem to bother her much. Infact Rakhee, who was paired with Amitabh Bachchan as his heroine in films like "Barsaat Ki Ek Raat"," Trishul", "Kasme Vaade", "Kala Patthar"and the most remembered "Kabhie Kabhie", played his mother in films like "Shakti".
The spree of being mother on the screen continued in the movies. She has been the mother of almost all the actors since late 90s including Anil Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Salman Khan,Akshay Kumar and Shahrukh. The list goes endlessly. "Ram Laakhan", "Karan Arjun", "Khalnayak", "Border", "Soldier", "Shyam Ghanshyam" and "Ek Rishtaa". She also got the best supporting actress award for her motherly role in "Ram Laakhan".
Her last film was "Dil Ka Rishta" in 2003 and she has not appeared in any films since.
