Acting career

[edit]

Beginnings and breakthrough

[edit]

Rehman made her film debut with the Tamil filmAlibabavum 40 Thirudargalumas a dancer. However, the Telugu filmRojulu Marayi(1955) released prior to that; where she again performed to in a dance.[10]The same year, she also played the lead role oppositeN. T. Rama Raoin the filmJayasimha.[11]Subsequently, hercameo appearanceinAlibabavum 40 Thirudargalumreleased in 1956.[10]Based on the folktaleAli Baba and the Forty Thieves,it was the first Tamil film to be colourised.[12]In the mid-1950s, she established a working relationship withDev Anandwherein they had a number of successful films to their credit which includeSolva Saal(1958). Suresh Kohli ofThe Hinduwrites on her performance inSolva Saal;"Though barely 20 then and only in her fourth Hindi release, Rehman demonstrates her class: both in serious scenes demanding intensity and through sparkling, mischievous eye movements during lighter moments."[13]

Collaborations with Guru Dutt

[edit]
Waheeda inPyaasa(1957)

Rehman's performances caught the eye of Hindi filmmakerGuru Dutt,whom she considered her mentor.[14]Dutt brought her toBombay(present-day Mumbai) and cast her as Kamini in thecrime thrillerC.I.D.(1956). Because of the trend set of the then popular actresses such asMadhubala,NargisandMeena Kumari,Waheeda was asked to use a stage name, reasoning that her name should be "something sexy", which she refused and continued with her birth name.[15]Dutt would next cast her in her first lead role in Hindi films in thedramaPyaasa(1957), where she portrayed a prostitute. The film was a commercial success, and it has been regarded by critics as one of the greatest films ever made.[16][17]She continued collaborations with Dutt which include thenoir film12 O'Clock(1958),[18]the romantic dramaKaagaz Ke Phool(1959), and theMuslim socialfilmChaudhvin Ka Chand(1960); all of which earned her critical praise.[19][20]Rehman and Dutt's last collaboration was the romantic dramaSahib Bibi Aur Ghulam(1962), which starred Dutt, Meena Kumari, and Rehman herself in a supporting role.[21]The film was a major success, being lauded by both Indian and international critics.[22]This earned Rehman her firstFilmfarenomination in the category ofBest Supporting Actress,[23]meanwhile the film itself received nominations for theGolden Bearat the13th Berlin International Film Festivaland won theFilmfare Award for Best Film.[24]

Widespread success

[edit]

The actress next ventured intoBengalifilm-making withSatyajit Ray's filmAbhijan(1962).[25]Following this, she played a murder suspect inBaat Ek Raat Ki(1962), a girl embroiled in a sibling feud inRakhi(1962) and an infertile woman inEk Dil Sau Afsane(1963).[26][27]As a leading lady, she was cast opposite many familiar faces of Hindi Cinema; notably, this includesSunil DuttinMujhe Jeene Do(1962),Nirupa RoyinKaun Apna Kaun Paraya(1963) andBiswajitin the horror filmKohraa(1964), the dramaMajboor(1964), and the psychological-thrillerBees Saal Baad(1962)—the latter becoming thehighest-grossing Hindi film of 1962.[28]At the end of 1964, Rehman became the third-highest paid actress in Hindi films.[29]

Guide(1965)

[edit]

Vijay Anand'smagnum opus,the romantic dramaGuide(1965) was anadaptation of the same bookwritten byR. K. Narayan,published in 1958.[30]Rehman starred as Rosie, a rebellious, strong-willed wife of an unfaithfularchaeologist.She stated that the role proved difficult for her, particularly because it broke several film stereotypes at the time.[31]Guidewas a major commercial success, emerging as thefifth-highest grossing Hindi film of 1965,and it opened to widespread critical acclaim, with Rehman's performance receiving universal praise. Trisha Gupta ofHindustan Timeswriting, "Rosie was triply unusual: a woman who walks out of an unhappy marriage, begins a romantic relationship with a man who isn't her husband, and simultaneously embarks on a successful career as a dancer. She would be an unusual Hindi film heroine even today..."[32]and ranked her performance amongst Indian cinema's greatest. For her performance, Rehman won her firstFilmfare Award for Best Actress,andGuidewent on to win theNational Film Award for Best Feature Filmand theFilmfare Award for Best Film.It becameIndia's official entry to the Oscars,though it did not get nominated. It is now considered acult classic,and is considered Rehman's signature film performance.[33]

Other commercial successes of this period werePatthar Ke Sanam(1967) andAadmi(1968). At the end of the 1960s, Rehman ranked a new record amongst herself in becoming the second-paid actress in Hindi films, from 1964 to 1969. She states herself, "ForSolva Saal,my first film as a freelancer, I received ₹30,000. The highest I ever earned in my career was Rs. 7lakhfor a film. "[35]

She is private about her life and seldom speaks about it, as said in an interview at the launch ofConversations with Waheeda Rehman:"I don't want to get into it. My private life should remain private. It is nobody's business. I know we are public figures, so when I fight with my husband, do you want to know about it?"[45]
