For the unversed, back in around 1949, Madhubala was rumoured to be in an affair with Meena Kumar’s husband, Kamal Amrohi. Moreover, she persisted to marry Kamal, despite knowing the fact that he was already married to Meena. Madhubala wanted him to divorce his wife.

Infamously known as the Tragedy Queen, Meena Kumari’s real life was nothing less than a bed of thorns. Right after her birth, she was left at an unknown doorstep by her father, since he did not have enough money to pay to the nurse who delivered Meena. However later, he came back and picked her up from where he left her. Speaking about Meena Kumari’s marriage with filmmaker, Kamal Amrohi, it was nothing less than a traumatising prison for her, where she not only dealt with unfaithfulness, but domestic abuse and lovelessness. Finally, it ended with her divorce from Kamal Amrohi, and thereafter, she drowned in alcoholism.
