    Why Did Dilip Kumar Hate This Beautiful Widow of His Real Brother? | Drama Series Indian |
    #BegumPara #BegumParaBiography #DramaSeriesIndian #BegumParaNasirKhan
    Begum Para acted in films like Neel Kamal (1947), and Jharna (1948), and Kar Bhala (1956) was her last movie before she acted again after decades in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya (2007).
    Taking a look back at her life and works, here are 6 facts about the lady we didn't know.
    Begum Para was married to Nasir Khan, Dilip Kumar's brother. They have a son Ayub Khan who is also an actor. Para's niece, Rukhsana Sultana was Amrita Singh's mother. Amrita Singh, who is Saif Ali Khan's ex-wife, is also Khushwant Singh's niece. After marrying Kareena Kapoor, Saif now has family roots on both sides, as Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor shared a close familial relationship.
    Begum Para was way ahead of her time. She was widely known for her boldness. In one of her interviews, she had said, "I have millions of memories from those days. I didn't smoke as I never liked it. But, I did drink even when it was considered taboo. I used to hold a glass of whisky openly, unlike other actresses who mixed whisky in colas and pretended that they were teetotalers."
    Para had close friends in the industry. While reminiscing, Para had said, "I miss my friends Nargis, Geeta Bali, Nadira, Shyama and Nilofer. We used to often meet and paint the town red. I'm also getting old now so telephone is the only way to communicate."
    Para's last role was in the movie Kar Bhala in 1956. But she did make a comeback on the silver screen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya in 2007 as Sonam Kapoor's grandmother.
    Para worked with Salman Khan in Saawariya with whom she shared a special bond. "I’ve known him since childhood. I'm very friendly with his father Salim Saab. I was apprehensive about how today's generation behaves. When I expressed my misgivings to Sanjay Bhansali he assured me. 'Just come and see how we work.' And he was right. They all gave me so much love and respect. They were so sweet. Of course, technically cinema has advanced. But people are still the same. Jab insaan door rehta hai to pataa nahin kya-kya sochta hai. But after my return before the camera I felt I had never gone away," she chimed.
    Para's son, Ayub Khan is a well-known actor in Bollywood and also on the small screen. Para had said, "I feel he hasn't got his dues. If you meet him you'll realize he isn't a filmy boy. When I urge him to meet producers he says, 'Whatever has to come my way will come my way. By my going here and there I won’t achieve anything.' He's such a nice and gentle boy, comfortable with what he has."

    Excellent narration. Ms Shweta is a comprehensive story teller.
    The story of Begum Para makes me proud of our glorious, syncretic heritage. The culture of the forties and fifties was more progressive than it is now . It had space for a bold woman like Begum Para to flourish.

    Congrats to your research team for digging up so much information on Begum Para, and to Ms Shweta for the dramatic quality of her narration ! But....i didn't find enough info on the key question -- why did Dilip Kumar hate her ? Yes, she was a Swinger, a "fast" girl at a time when most women were "slow" and very cautious about revealing much about themselves. But that is not reason enough to hate her. His brother Nasir had chosen to marry her knowing full well that she was fast, and despite DK's disapproval.
    There might have been some OTHER issues between Nasir & Begum Para, which might better explain Dilip bhai's hatred....
