Mumbai, March 10 – Actress Tanishaa Mukerji seems to have been reminiscing on Tuesday as she revisited her memories and shared an old photograph of her late aunt and legendary actress Nutan along with Jaya Bachchan.
On her social media account, Tanishaa reposted a vintage picture that appears to be from an award show during the golden era of Hindi cinema.
The picture shows the legendary actress Nutan walking alongside another legend, Jaya Bachchan, at what seems to be a red-carpet event of the award night.
You can see musicians and guests in the background. Nutan looks elegant in a fitted blue gown paired with jewellery and heels, while Jaya Bachchan looks sophisticated in a floral saree with a bindi and minimal accessories.
Sharing the picture, Tanishaa wrote, “Wow, Nutan was so stunning.” For those unfamiliar with the Marathi language, "moushi" means maternal aunt.
Talking about Tanishaa, the actress comes from one of Bollywood’s most prominent film families and is half Maharashtrian.
She is the daughter of veteran actress Tanuja, who is Nutan’s younger sister. Both Nutan and Tanuja are daughters of the late actress Shobhna Samarth, and all belong to the Marathi clan.
Tanishaa is also the younger sister of actress Kajol and the sister-in-law of actor Ajay Devgn.
Talking about Nutan, the actress was one of the most celebrated actresses of Hindi cinema and delivered numerous memorable performances in films such as "Seema," "Bandini," "Sujata," "Anari," "Milan," and "Saraswatichandra," among others.
The legendary actress was also the mother of actor Mohnish Bahl, making actress Pranutan Bahl the granddaughter of Nutan. Mohnish is Kajol and Tanishaa's cousin on the maternal side.
Unfortunately, Nutan passed away in 1991 after battling cancer.
