Picture lifted from the Mumbai Mirror, which informs us:
“Legendary actress Sandhya, who acted in classics like Navrang, Do Aankhen Bara Hath and Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje, was honoured at the annual V Shantaram awards. The felicitation commemorated the 50th anniversary of V Shantaram’s 1959 classic Navrang…”

(But it is only partially like this blog in terms of subject matter.) Anyway, especially if you know me somewhat, and you are on Facebook, you might want to connect there. Send an e-mail so that we can talk more about it and maybe exchange URLs to “friend.”

Yes, thats definitely Sandhya!
Thanks for posting this :))
You’re welcome. I thought Sandhya kind of fit into the “whatever happened to” category, so when I saw this news and picture about a recent public appearance, I had to share it. Besides, she is one of my favorites!
congrats to Sandhya i shall be doing V shantaram week sometime next year and i did love her quirkiness in all Shantaram’s films. When i think sandhya Tum saiyan kulake phool from Navrang jumps to mind
Bollywooddeewana, I am definitely looking forward to that V. Shantaram week. I am right now consuming those Shantaram films fairly quickly, in part because there is a store near me that’s selling a bunch of them in the 3-for-$10 bin. :) Tonight I have been glancing at Parchhain and Pinjra, and I can’t decide which one to watch next. (Unfortunately, out of all his films between the early ’50s and the ’70s, the only one I can’t seem to find in this place or anywhere is Do Aankhen Barah Haath!)
That Navrang song is a good one; thanks for reminding me of it. When I think of Navrang, the first song that always comes to mind is the Holi song “Are Ja Re Hat Natkhat,” which I consider a great moment for Shantaram, Sanhya, C. Ramchandra and Asha Bhosle. But I’ve already posted that so many times. :)
Wow, thanks for sharing!
