In a career spanning four decades and a filmography of almost 100 films, ranging from urban romances to socio-realist dramas, Nutan made her debut at the age of 14 in the 1950 film Hamari Beti, directed by her mother.
She was known for her work in films such as Sujata, Bandini, Milan, Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki, Anari, Chhalia, Tere Ghar Ke Saamne, Khandan, Saraswatichandra, Anuraag, and Saudagar, to name a few.
She worked with the top leading men of the 50s and 60s, such as Dev Anand, Raj Kapoor, Ashok Kumar, Sunil Dutt, Nasir Khan, Balraj Sahni and Pradeep Kumar. She also worked with acclaimed directors like Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Bimal Roy and Vijay Anand.
Nutan was last seen in the film Insaniyat in 1994, in which she appeared posthumously.
The legendary star was married to naval Lieutenant-Commander Rajnish Bahl from 1959 until her death from breast cancer in 1991.
Talking about her son, Mohnish debuted with the film Bekarar in a supporting role opposite Padmini Kolhapure and Sanjay Dutt. He was then seen in Teri Bahon Mein, a remake of The Blue Lagoon with Ayesha Dutt, the wife of Jackie Shroff. His only commercial success in a leading role was Purana Mandir.
He was then seen in Hum Aapke Hain Koun and Hum Saath-Saath Hain, both of which are considered landmark films that transformed Hindi Cinema. He has starred in over 100 films.
Mohnish’s daughter, Pranutan Bahl, made her acting debut with Notebook in 2019. She has since starred in Helmet and Amar Prem Ki Prem Kahani.
