This actress had quite a good career and has acted in more than 80 movies. She has worked in the film industry for almost four decades. During her time, she has worked with many top stars and was appreciated for her talent and striking screen presence. She is also related to Kajol. However, despite the success, her personal life was quite challenging. In this article, we will discuss the same.
The actress we are talking about is Kajol’s aunt. In 1974, she was honoured with the Padma Shri, which is cited as India’s fourth-highest civilian award. She is regarded as one of the finest actresses of her time. This actress made her debut with the movie Hamari Beti and worked in movies like Sujata, Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki, Seema, Bandini, Milan, and many more.
Well, the actress we are talking about is Nutan Samarth Bahl. Nutan was born to filmmaker Kumarsen Samanth and Shobhana Samarth. She was the elder sibling of Kajol’s mother, Tanuja, and had a younger brother named Jaideep. A family friend once made bad comments on Nutan’s looks. But she bounced back with confidence by being one of the most gorgeous faces on screen. There was a time when she was linked with Sanjeev Kumar when they were working together. Nutan didn’t like the rumours and allegedly slapped the actor on set. She didn’t like such rumours about herself.

She fought a long legal battle with her mother over finance. The actress was also diagnosed with breast cancer, which weakened her health. On February 21, 1991, she passed away due to cancer. Sadly, in 2004, Nutan’s husband Rajnish died in a fire at his penthouse. Today, Nutan is remembered for her incredible work and for being one of the most beautiful faces in Indian cinema.
