PERSONAL LIFE:-
Meena Kumari has been an extraordinary personality . She was as simple and everyday person as you and me. Multy talented actress we can say that to her capable of acting, writing as well as dress design,. The performances, which were are characterized more by perfection then drama. ie, the perfection, what made her famous. That is what made her popular among the teams and that is what made her beloved so much.
A beautiful face with a lot of tear ready to drop and a state of despair always ready to show up, Meena Kumari was the one of the most dedicated persons in the film industry at that tim So much that she left herself to the hands of the tragedy of life. A tragedy was s designed by life for her. Right at the time of birth her father had no money to pay hospital bill. After few days her father took her at home. After that at age of six, she had to work and face the flashlights of studio at that small age. Cinema is where she learned the ABC of life and this was where she grew up. Against her will though her films wanted her. Cinema is where she grew up and she worked in her first film in 1939. The Mahech Bhatt film was called Leatherface. The director - Mahesh Bhatt.
Later on she went on to do mythologicals and was a regular performer. Life would perhaps have it, she was to become a superstar. But her rescuer in films was again the same person - Mahesh Bhatt. This tile Baiju Bawra. The musical was a superhit, got her the maiden film fare award in 1950 in the first ever filmfare awards. She was rich overnight. Meena Kumari was a superstar. The other story was going on and it had started much before Baiju Bawra and went on for some time. Baiju Bawra released and the story was in the foreground. The new story – come up Meena Kumari and Kamal Amrohi story. TThey met and decided to marry and she married Kamal Amrohi after Baiju Bawra. But very sadly story end up with lot of Dard
After Baiju Bawra she performed light hearted roles in many films later on which include Mr and Mr 55, Kinare Kinare and so many others. The important thing that happened in this part of her life is that Pakeezah was conceived on the honeymoon of Meena and Kamal. Interestingly, Pakeezah would follow her life and would finally become the mark of her life. So much that the film became a hit only after her death. The film conceived at this time, would finish only in 1970 and would see all the changes in Meena Kumari's personality over years. Meena Kumari would perform her roles with commitment and dedication.
However, her performance by design is reflected in her films where she has presented excellent performance in tragedy roles and where her personal life is so danferously close to her films. Sahib, Biwi aur Ghulam was perhaps the most dangerous mix. She moulded her own life into it the film. She found herself into the roles of chhoti bahu in real life (as stated to Ghulzaar). She would shed tears and dull her senses with liquor. The feeling being fuelled by the fact of her own divorce with Kamal Amrohi. Perhaps the author of Sahib, Biwi Ghulam had written the role for Meena Kumari herself as she fits so well into the role.

Perhaps the author of Sahib, Biwi Ghulam had written the role for Meena Kumari herself as she fits so well into the role.
Also Meena Kumari is an example of a person who lived on the right terms, each moment of life being a battle as well as a dream and a deep feeling. She was a expression of nature and she knew it and lived it. She lived it positively and not tragically though her life was a silent battle of objectivism and the battle againt attitudes, not people.IShe remains an example of positiveness, confidence and fighting spirit and her constant battle is evidence to it. But then she was a simple human being with normal human desires like all of us. She had her own positive and negative sides and she never hid them and was rather open about her feelings. She would tell you her problem, cry out to the heart's extent and would then offer her help to you. She was a simple, straight nice human being with her own problems and feelings.
Due to their strong personalities, however, Meena Kumari and Kamal Amrohi started conflicts among them , both professionally and in their married life. Their conflicts finally cause of their separation in 1960, and ultimately divorce in 1964 which was highly affected Meena Kumari. She became depressed and found solace in heavy drinking.
At the time of her divorce she wrote:-
Dil saa jab saathi paya
Bechaini bhi woh saath le aaya"
Tum kya karoge sunkar mujhse meri kahani
Belutf zindagi ke kisse hain pheeke pheeke"
