It was the year 1934. A blonde woman would turn conventions on their head to capture the imagination of people, wielding whips and doing acrobatic stunts, all by herself. Known by her screen name, Fearless Nadia, she would soon go on to acquire the title of Hunterwali, and became the moniker for strong Indian women for several years to come. Now, paying a tribute to this daring actress, Dr Bhau Daji Lad City Museum has organised a special screening of one of her iconic films, Diamond Queen, today at the museum.
